Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy improves health and wellbeing, and is tailored to your values, goals, and needs; a service that is specific to what is important to you.

What is Occupational Therapy?

The role of occupational therapy is to help individuals live their best life at home, at work, at school, and everywhere in between.

An occupational therapist – also referred to as an OT – helps individuals of all ages to overcome physical, neurological, or developmental challenges caused by an injury or condition to complete everyday activities. These activities are also called occupations.

Occupations are the activities we want, need, or like to do in order to live our lives and take care of our physical and mental health. Our occupations can be related to self-care, leisure, or productivity in any context. The role of an occupational therapist is to look at an individual’s occupations and challenges, then set a plan of goals or adjustments that help the individual achieve specific activities, such as work, learning, or leisure.

What others says

I am always so impressed by the therapist’s commitment to and ongoing understanding of Claire and her situation. I am sure the rest of the family will share my thoughts so please pass on our heartfelt thanks to the therapy team when you next see them. Sister of brain injury survivor
I just wanted to drop you a line to say, whenever I call the office, Claire, in particular, is always very charming and efficient. She is a good representative of your company and has a nice phone manner and a good approach to customer service. So, thank you Claire. Mother of brain injury survivor
The following will never be enough to illustrate Paul’s journey but we are eternally grateful to the NHS, IM, ILS, Krysalis and the whole infrastructure that has been created for Paul. Yes, Paul is focused, determined and driven but the whole team have created a rehabilitation environment that has changed our life and Pauls future, they have made the thought of life and rehabilitation, turn from the impossible to the possible. Brother of brain injured survivor
The thought of having the family undertake this journey alone seems impossible and we will be always grateful. We all recognise that James is still on the rehabilitation journey, but there is no stopping him. He has just walked to Mum’s & Dad’s on his own (phone first to say he’s on his way)... what a way to celebrate the 2-year journey.Brother of brain injured survivor
I highly recommend Krysalis Consultancy OT services. Anna has been our life line since she came on board to help my husband following his brain injury. He has improved greatly thanks to Anna’s input in assisting him to become independent, teaching him step by step the simple things which we all take for granted. Anna is there for us 100%, teaching us both strategies to enable us to achieve better results.Wife of brain injured survivor
Just a short note to thank you very much for your hard work and persistence over the last few months, your guidance has undoubtedly helped and taken the pressure off me (I have benefited from the sessions greatly). I am really encouraged by the last few weeks and optimistic that if Peter keeps working at it he will continue to make good progress.Brother of brain injured survivor
