How OT helps

Start with what is hard day to day, then build practical strategies around it.
Thinking, memory and planning
Getting started, staying on track, remembering appointments and finishing tasks when planning is stretched.
Mood, worry and motivation
How low mood, anxiety or a difficult period changes what feels possible, and practical ways to rebuild routine.
