Adult Occupational Therapy

Our Approach

We provide occupational therapy support across the lifespan, working with individuals from early childhood through to older adulthood. Our focus on neurodivergent support allows us to cater to a diverse range of experiences and needs.

Many people come to us during periods of transition — including adults who are seeking to rediscover themselves after gaining a later-in-life understanding of neurodivergence. We take a strengths-based, neuro-affirming approach that values individuality, lived experience, and authenticity at every stage of life.

Learning you’re neurodivergent as an adult can be both validating and overwhelming. Occupational therapy provides a supportive space to reconnect with yourself, understand your sensory and cognitive needs, and create routines and systems that help you thrive in everyday life. Our services in occupational therapy Leeds are designed to support individuals navigating these challenges.

Our assessment process is relaxed, collaborative, and tailored to the individual. We use a combination of standardised and non-standardised assessments, delivered in a flexible way that prioritises comfort and emotional safety. Grounded in trauma-informed practice, our approach reduces pressure and allows people to engage in ways that feel safe, respectful, and meaningful.

Occupational therapy is not about changing who you are. It’s about understanding how your nervous system, environment, and daily occupations interact — and working together to build strategies, routines, and supports that help you participate fully in the life you want to live.

Our assessment process for neurodivergent support is relaxed, respectful, and collaborative. We utilize a combination of standardized and non-standardized assessments, including a thorough sensory assessment, delivered in a calm, flexible manner that prioritizes safety and comfort. Grounded in a trauma-informed and neuro-affirming approach found in occupational therapy in Leeds, our assessments are shaped around the individual — not the other way around — creating space for authentic insight without pressure or judgment, helping you to rediscover yourself.

What Happens After the Assessment?

After the assessment, we take the time to carefully reflect on the information gathered, always considering your goals, experiences, strengths, and support needs, especially in the context of neurodivergent support. 

We then provide clear, accessible feedback in a way that feels supportive and collaborative. 

This may include:

- A discussion of assessment findings, using plain language.

- Identification of strengths, challenges, and environmental influences.

- Exploration of how neurodivergence and sensory processing may be impacting daily life.

- Practical, meaningful recommendations tailored to your priorities.

Together, we develop a plan that aligns with your goals. This may involve ongoing occupational therapy sessions in Leeds, environmental or sensory strategies, support with routines and daily activities, or written recommendations for home, school, work, or other settings.

There is no obligation to continue therapy. You are always in control of the next steps as you work to rediscover yourself, and support is offered at a pace that feels right for you.
