Restorative Therapy Solutions

I am a highly skilled Occupational Therapist with over 20 years’ experience. I specialise in physical rehabilitation of adults 18+ who have health conditions affecting their daily functioning including complex multi orthopaedic trauma, neurological conditions including dementia, amputation and life limiting conditions. I also have experience as a Team Leader with experience of managing staff within community settings; improving processes and service design to raise team efficiency and outcomes ensuring quality of care.

My roles have encompassed applying specialist rehabilitation skills to assess and implement interventions using a person-centred approach to improve a person's functioning and quality of life. I have developed clinical expertise in: rehabilitation/re-ablement, case management, moving and handling, seating and vocational rehabilitation. I also provide advice regarding environmental adaptations within the home and recommendations for assistive equipment to promote independence and safety. I offer client-centred assessments with comprehensive functional needs reports which include detailed recommendations to support increased independence.

I am highly competent in implementing a variety of treatment techniques, including pain management, cognitive skills training, fatigue management or energy conservation techniques, stress management, sleep hygiene and education strategies. I am a compassionate communicator who adapts language and tone to optimize learning and building trust. Referrals are accepted from a variety of sources including the individual, families, charities, private companies, case management or rehabilitation providers, insurers and solicitors in the appropriate environment, e.g. home, workplace and/or the community. I am able to provide a one-off assessment or ongoing, client-centred and goal focused rehabilitation. Please phone or email me, I look forward to hearing from you.
