How could group therapy support you and your family?
We recognise the power of shared experiences and offer group therapy sessions that foster community and connection. In these supportive and inclusive environments, you can engage with others with similar experiences, share insights, and learn from one another.
We believe therapy and support should be accessible to every family. If individual therapy isn’t a viable option or the right fit, our group therapies provide a welcoming path to explore and understand your authentic self.

Occupational Therapy (OT) is a client-centered health profession that focuses on promoting health and well-being through occupation. Occupations refer to the everyday activities that people do as individuals, in families, and within communities to occupy time and bring meaning and purpose to life. OT aims to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life by working with individuals and communities to enhance their ability to engage in the occupations they want to, need to, or are expected to do, or by modifying the occupation or the environment to better support their occupational engagement.
Occupational therapists work collaboratively with clients to identify goals and challenges related to daily activities. They conduct comprehensive assessments to understand physical, cognitive, sensory, and emotional capabilities. Based on these assessments, therapists develop personalised intervention plans that may include skill development, adapting tasks or environments, and providing education to support meaningful participation in daily activities.
Individuals of all ages can benefit from occupational therapy, including: 
- Children and Adolescents: To develop fine and gross motor skills, improve sensory processing, and enhance social participation.
- Adults: To regain independence after injury or illness, manage chronic conditions, or improve work-related skills.
- Older Adults: To maintain independence, ensure home safety, and manage age-related challenges.
