Are you struggling to do things you want to do, need to do, or are expected to do? Are you struggling with daily tasks after an illness or injury? Do you feel that you need help with daily life tasks and activities? If so, you've come to the right place!

Our 1:1 Occupational Therapy sessions are designed to do just that.

Whether you are wanting to rehab from an illness or injury or improve your independence with your day-to-day task, our Occupational Therapy students, supported by our qualified team, can support you to achieve your goals.

We offer a face-to-face service, and our OT students have already seen great success in supporting people to regain purpose, control, or independence. Some examples of things we can support with include but are not limited to:

  • Regaining the ability to manage complex tasks,
  • Re-engaging in meaningful occupations after a bereavement
  • Fatigue management post brain injury or illness
  • Safety in the home including equipment suggestions and signposting.

We have a range of equipment to ensure your journey is evidence based, fun and person centred. Our equipment includes Biometrics, a MotoMed bike, Blazepods, Augmented Reality and much more!

Sessions run across the week and are charged at £15 per session.

To start your journey of using meaningful occupations to enhance your life and to access this service, please complete our adult referral form and email this to healthwellbeingcare@essex.ac.uk and a member of the team will be in touch to discuss your referral.
