   Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm.

- Publilius Syrus.

 

For coastal communities, the therapeutic benefits of the sea are often experienced alongside an appreciation of its powers and potential to cause great destruction. Life changing neurological illness or injury, such as brain injury or stroke, can, for many individuals and their families, feel like a destructive storm, with no clear end point.

The quote from Publilius Syrus, a Latin writer from 85BC, highlights that experience and expertise is needed to navigate times of crisis and steer towards calm waters. For many, complex neurological illness and injury can be hard to understand and navigate, however, just beyond the horizon is where the possibilities lie. Having someone experienced at the helm is the key.

Whether you consider ‘taking in the sea air’ as therapeutic or not, our occupational therapists work hard to understand what matters to you, to help you rebuild your life and connect with valued activities. By focusing on what matters to you and combining this with their expert knowledge, achieving your goals can become reality.

What makes us unique

Our approach has been designed to make a positive difference at every step on the journey towards independence.

We understand that living an independent life is reliant on our ability to be physically able to complete activities and to have the cognitive skills to understand, remember, organise and plan. Our uniqueness then comes from how we live our life and view the world.
