Mental Health Support / OT Services
Supporting you to do the things you want to and need to do.
OT’s have worked in mental health support since the profession was founded in the 18th century. Sarah Ashton OT offers counseling services, drawing on OT-specific tools and approaches as well as psychological interventions to support you in doing the things that are important and meaningful to you.
Together, we will review the barriers to engaging in your meaningful activities and build solutions to promote your performance and participation.
This might be physical or psychological barriers, exploring your transition into motherhood, understanding matrescence, learning new skills to help with overwhelm, somatic/interoceptive therapy, functional education/activity modification or social support/environment.
Individual consultations or packages are available.
Rebates may be available through Medicare or your Private Health Fund.
GP Mental Health Care Plans accepted.
