Claire Bessat's profile

Claire Bessat MSc OT, BA Psychology. Additional training in a variety of modalities: OT (sensory, moving & handling, equipment), psychological (DBT, CBT), & holistic (Mindfulness, Kinesiology, Tapping, Qi Gong).

Claire holds a Masters of Science in Occupational Therapy from San Jose State University in California and now splits her time between the NHS and independent practice. Claire enjoys helping clients with: mental health & overall wellness, home assessments for older adults, teenagers, or children (therapeutic exercise & activities, equipment recommendations, sensory strategies), falls prevention, mind & body connection (Mindfulness, Qi Gong), ergonomics, & coaching/lifestyle redesign.

Claire's talents as an OT lie in how she often picks up on important subtleties and details that may have been overlooked previously. She enjoys collaborating with clients to fully understand what is needed & desired, identifying potential barriers, & then problem-solving using both evidence-based & innovative strategies for an empowering & uplifting process.

Claire also has a professional teaching credential from California with 10 years teaching experience previously (children & adults). She was able to transfer these skills over when training clients, facilitating groups, or supervising other professionals in healthcare settings (California & UK).
