Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy supports people to engage in the activities and routines that bring meaning, connection, identity and purpose to their lives.At Hope Therapies, OT is mental health-focused, trauma-informed, and neurodiverse-affirming as it is always grounded in a strengths-based approach. We work collaboratively with clients and their support networks to build emotional regulation skills and independence to promote their wellbeing in everyday life.
OT and Yoga Support
Occupational Therapy sessions can include a personalised yoga practise that combines gentle movement, breathwork, and mindfulness with the practical support of a carer. At Hope Therapies, this service offers 1:1 support that promotes regulation, body awareness, confidence, and connection, all tailored to individual needs and goals. It’s a compassionate, client-led approach that meets people where they are, physically and emotionally. This service can be completed in the participants' home, or at a studio location in Flemington.
