Who can benefit from occupational therapy?

Occupational therapy can benefit adults who are experiencing difficulties with everyday activities due to injury, illness, disability, neurological conditions or changes in their physical or cognitive abilities.

Do I need a diagnosis or referral to see an occupational therapist?

No, you do not need a diagnosis or a referral to see an occupational therapist at the West-Gate clinic. If you are struggling with daily living, mobility, or managing activities safely at home, an occupational therapist can help you without first seeing your GP.

Can an occupational therapist assess my home?

Yes. A home assessment can help identify potential risks and areas where changes could improve safety and independence. We can recommend appropriate equipment, strategies or adaptations based on your individual needs.

Can occupational therapy help me return to work?

Yes. We can assess how your current abilities relate to the demands of your role and recommend practical adjustments, strategies and graded return-to-work plans. Where appropriate, we can also provide a fitness to work report.

How can occupational therapy help you?

At the heart of occupational therapy is the individual - their goals, their priorities and the things that matter most in everyday life.

Functional Assessments

When everyday activities become more difficult, a functional assessment can help identify what’s getting in the way. We look at physical, cognitive and emotional abilities through observation and practical tasks, both at home and in the community. This helps us understand what support, strategies or rehabilitation could make daily life safer, easier and more manageable.

Adaptation Recommendations

If changes at home could make everyday life easier, we can help identify the right adaptations and equipment for your needs. Following an assessment, we provide practical recommendations ranging from small changes to larger home modifications, helping you manage daily activities more safely and independently. We can also work with tradespeople to ensure recommended adaptations are suitable and your investment is put to good use.

Stroke & Neurological Rehabilitation

Following a stroke or brain injury, everyday activities can become more challenging as physical, cognitive and emotional changes affect how you manage at home and in the community. We provide personalised rehabilitation focused on the things that matter most, helping you rebuild functional skills, develop strategies and regain confidence and independence in daily life.

Supporting your return to work

If illness or injury has affected your ability to work, we can help you find a safe and manageable way back. We look at what you can do now, the demands of your role, and what support or adjustments could make returning to work more achievable. Where appropriate, we can provide a detailed fitness to work report with practical recommendations to support a safe, sustainable return.
