Restoring capability, confidence, and participation.
Restoring capability, confidence, and participation.
Work-related stress, burnout, or psychological injury can disrupt every aspect of daily life — from self-care and sleep to relationships and work performance.
Lifeworks Occupational Therapy provides specialised, evidence-based mental health OT services to support recovery from these challenges through practical, functional rehabilitation.
Our focus is on helping individuals rebuild everyday capability, improve emotional regulation, and re-engage in meaningful activity — leading to sustainable return-to-work outcomes and better long-term wellbeing.
What we do
What we do
Our highly experienced Mental Health Occupational Therapists offer:
Comprehensive functional assessments to identify how mental-health symptoms affect daily life, roles, and routines.
Individual therapy focused on emotional regulation, stress management, coping skills, and activity redesign.
Group interventions such as Stress & Emotion Regulation and Interpersonal Effectiveness Training.
Return-to-work support through graded activity planning, communication coaching, and workplace re-integration strategies.
We address the functional barriers that prevent people from participating fully in life and work — moving beyond counselling into practical, skills-based recovery.
