Our Story…

In 2017 Belinda and Sarah set out to create a business where clinicians felt passionate and motivated about coming to work and that this then would flow on into their approach to therapy. Throwing KPIs out the window we have been able to focus on creating a positive workplace culture through sustainable employment and extensive and innovative professional development opportunities. We are a business that is operated by families for families.

Today we are fortunate to have built an amazing team of therapists, therapy assistants and support staff who work collaboratively and share information to ensure that ultimately our clients are receiving a therapeutic approach that suits their needs.

The team at OKAY Therapy have specialist skills in Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology and Group Therapy. We have therapists with a variety of interest areas and skills and therefore we can confidently support children, adolscents and young adults.

All of our therapists have a minimum of 5 years experience providing exceptional care and support. When referrals are received we review the client goals and allocate the referral to the most suitable therapist.

Our home base is the clinic at 510 LaTrobe Boulevard Newtown however we recognise the importance of providing supports across the participant’s own environment. We also offer home, school and community visits across Geelong, Bellarine Peninsula, Colac and the Golden Plains area.

In 2023 we have opened a new branch of OKAY Therapy on the Sunshine Coast, QLD. Our co-founder, Belinda has recently moved to the Sunny Coast and will be continuing at OKAY Therapy. Belinda currently has capacity for new referrals. Please contact belinda@okaytherapy.com.au for more details.

Our Mission…

Supporting well-being and believing in genuine inclusion

To create a service that holistically supports families and children to achieve their goals by creating lifestyles and environments that support people to be their authentic selves and participate in activities that are meaningful to them. We acknowledge the magnitude of how interconnected well-being is across all aspects of life at the individual level and the community level.

In our current world, we have realised that individual therapy is not enough to support holistic inclusion. We feel that our role as therapists is just as much about supporting the people around the individual as it is supporting the individual themselves.

Without compassionate and inclusive environments, how can we expect individuals to thrive?

At OKAY Therapy we focus on…

  • Working with individuals to support them to feel safe in their body’s, develop skills that enable functional progression and build confidence in their capacity to socialise with others.

  • Empowering families to develop secure relationships and environments by supporting awareness through compassion and understanding.

  • Developing Positive Education Partnerships with education settings to support inclusion within classrooms and schools.

  • Utilising group therapy to support our clients to implement therapeutic theory in safe social environments.

What you can expect at OKAY Therapy…

  • We have an understanding that family’s are the experts in their lives.

  • We are considerate of adding stress and therefore approach therapy flexibly; meeting the family where they are at the time.

  • We communicate openly and honestly at all times.

  • We strive to support individuals to feel confident in their authentic self by developing a sense of safety in their own bodies.

  • We value awareness and compassion of those around the individual.

  • We aim to create genuine inclusivity across all environments.

  • We will listen to feedback and work to resolve issues in a timely manner.

  • We protect privacy and confidentiality.
