What We Do

We bring fresh thinking to Neurological Occupational Therapy.

Our service is tailored to meet the needs of individuals living with a brain injury, neurological condition, or neurodivergent diagnosis.

Our experience of working within this specialism means that we are undaunted by the complexities of a diagnosis and any presentations.

We can identify the barriers to independence, including physical limitations, cognitive and executive limitations, and behavioural and sensory presentations. These challenges can have a significant impact on an individual and those people around them, affecting an individual's goals, family and work life.

We pride ourselves on operating in an accountable, honest and open manner, meaning that you can feel confident in our ability to deliver.

It's about understanding life after illness or injury with all its light and shade. We are here to help our clients recognise who they really are; what they could be and should be.

Navigating the journey

Neurological occupational therapy is an essential component to helping individuals live with the complexities of a neurological condition. However access to private rehabilitation is influenced by the context in which it was requested.

Regardless of how rehabilitation is funded, we have a clear understanding of the requirements of each pathway, whether an individual is self-funding their rehabilitation, are involved in a medico-legal claim or if occupational therapy is being funded by employers or local authorities.

Our services are structured to ensure that our occupational therapists are supported by our Clinical Leads, ensuring rehabilitation is maintained for as long as occupational therapy is required.
Our high-quality documentation is shared, with consent, in a timely manner to ensure that individuals, case managers, employers and other professionals can act on recommendations.
Our systems and audit processes ensure that we are always held accountable for the quality of our service, the documentation we produce and safeguarding individual’s data and welfare.
Our friendly and approachable office admininstration team support with a varitety of enquiries, and out of office support is provided when needed in emergency situations.

Krysalis is confident in navigating our clients through the rehabilitation process and committed to delivering a friendly and approachable service to every client.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less travelled by. And that has made all the difference.

Concentrating on your unique needs

The differences seen in each and every one of us make us all unique. Understanding and harnessing our individual qualities and motivating factors, acknowledging core beliefs and what we value, is the key to achieving our goals regardless of disability.

At Krysalis, we take time to listen, to gain insights into what is important, to explore strengths and weaknesses. We help to facilitate those difficult conversations, to acknowledge loss, but at the same time help to come to a new understanding about what is possible.

Our assessment and treatment approaches structure our intervention, allowing Krysalis to provide an unparalleled service where all individuals see the value of neurological occupational therapy.

Occupational Therapy Assessment and Review Process

Our assessment and review processes are designed to ensure that occupational therapy intervention is comprehensive and effective.

An accident or illness can impact significantly on an individual’s ability to complete the daily activities that we take for granted.

At Krysalis, we use an evidence based and occupation focused model within our day-to-day practice that has been subjected to nearly four decades of scientific inquiry and research. This framework allows the neruological occupational therapist to assess and analyse how a person engages in their day-to-day occupation with both their body and mind as a result of the interaction between a number of elements.

Motivation

Motivation

The incentive that drives us to believe what we are capable of doing.
Routine

Choosing how we spend our time doing what we want or need to do.
Habits

Abilities

Environment

The space around us; where we live and spend our time.

This approach, when combined with detailed neurological assessments and functional observations, focuses on facilitating change from within and provides a structure to understand the individual and the view they have of their world and their place within it.

What others say about us

  • 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
