Individual Occupational Therapy
Individual Occupational Therapy sessions are always on offer for those children and young people as well as other service users that cannot benefit from group interventions due to their complexity of needs and difficulties.
As every Individual Session, they are based on the development of safety and trust between the therapist and the individual. They are pre-planned and limited in number. We normally offer a minimum of 6 individual sessions and a maximum of 24. Reviews are expected to happen every 6 weeks. Goals and outcomes are set from the beginning and agreed between all parties involved. If outcomes are not met the reviews can happen earlier in order to evaluate and reflect on the effectiveness of the individual sessions. if the individual sessions are not appropriate we aim to provide alternatives that fit the user's needs.

Developing and maintaining a secure and strong Occupational Identity, with meaningful occupational roles, self-empowerment, self-esteem and resilience is our priority. Our approach follows the strong Principles of the Model of Human Occupation-MOHO as well as the Recovery Model. Occupational challenges are opportunities to maximize and support the individual to learn new skills or re-discover lost ones.These same challenges are faced by the individual's family/carers/peers/physical and social environment. We aim in supporting and providing bespoke recommendations offering a holistic approach to the individual and their context according to their needs.
