Mental Health Support for Adults

Anchor Therapy OTs can support neurodivergent adults (this includes Autistic adults, people with ADHD, dyspraxia and Tourette's) and also adults who are experiencing low mood, worry and anxiety, developmental trauma, schizophrenia, low self-worth, relationship difficulties and emotional dysregulation.

OT can help you to:

• Build skills and confidence to prepare you for working again if you've had some time off due to ill-health.
• Negotiate work accommodations with your workplace by providing you with a thorough OT assessment of what supports might need to be put in place at work. You can get a grant to access free OT support for work accommodations! Read here.

• Build social connections, leisure interests and supports.
• Practice effective communication and assertiveness skills necessary for work and home.
