Hi, my name is Louisa, and I look forward to working with you on your therapy goals, empowering your sense of independence, identity, and wellbeing.
I am an Occupational Therapist with a special interest in mental health and wellbeing concerns, particularly Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), anxiety, and depression.
I consult at Glenelg on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and alternate Fridays during business hours. I offer both face-to-face and telehealth appointments.
Over the past 10+ years, I have worked in Adult Mental Health Services in Adelaide, assisting individuals with various mental health conditions and complexities. Recently, I have focused on supporting young people with emerging mental health and wellbeing concerns. My experience spans both hospital and community settings.
My approach is holistic and collaborative, working with clients to set and achieve their therapy goals while involving key people in their lives for support. I feel privileged to help individuals make their own choices and advocate for what matters to them.
Ways I may work with people include:
- Understanding the functional impact of mental health and/or wellbeing difficulties
