6About
As a highly motivated occupational therapist with over 25 years of experience, I have developed a diverse skill set in health, housing, social care, and the private sector. My expertise lies in housing adaptations, functional rehabilitation, special equipment assessments, and vocational rehabilitation. Throughout my career, I have worked collaboratively with a wide range of professionals to ensure optimal outcomes for clients, focusing on clear communication and comprehensive report writing. In my current role as a Private Occupational Therapist, I frequently conduct assessments and set treatment goals to support clients' recovery following accidents, with a particular focus on housing and adaptation needs. Additionally, I provide postural management training to occupational therapists, drawing on my extensive experience in seating and equipment solutions. I am passionate about tailoring my services to meet each client’s unique needs, with the ultimate goal of helping them achieve maximum independence and satisfaction in their daily lives, especially following catastrophic injuries or long-term disabilities.Tech Stack
