About Us
We are a Melbourne-based occupational therapy service dedicated to delivering accessible and inclusive support to individuals with mental health conditions and psychosocial disabilities.
What Makes Us Unique
The Living Skills OT is independently operated by an experienced Occupational Therapist with a diverse background spanning youth homelessness, community mental health, NDIS, and return-to-work services. What sets us apart is our ability to connect with people who may be difficult to engage, using empathy, creativity, and innovative problem-solving to build trust and focus on progress. We take a personalized approach, tailoring practical and achievable solutions to meet each client’s unique challenges. By blending extensive expertise with a genuine passion for empowering individuals, we deliver services that make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we support.
We will ONLY take on clients and referrals within our scope to ensure a high likelihood that exceptional service is delivered. While many services take on all clients, we focus on maintaining a level of care and attention that ensures the best possible outcomes for each individual we support.
Who We Support
We support individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, PTSD, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and more. Our aim is to help you overcome these barriers and live the life you want.
We also specialize in supporting teenagers transitioning to adulthood, generally aged 12 years and older. This crucial stage often involves navigating increased independence, developing life skills, and managing complex emotions, and we’re here to provide the guidance and support needed to thrive.
Our Mental Health Occupational Therapy (MHOT) interventions are tailored to your needs and goals. Whether it’s managing anxiety, improving focus, learning daily living skills, or achieving better sleep, we’re here to help.
Through education, therapy, guidance, and support, we provide a range of services, including:
- Emotional awareness and regulation
- Stress and anxiety management
- Social skills and communication strategies
- Everyday living and problem-solving skills
- Addiction support and maintaining sobriety
- Money management
- Work and study skills
- Motivational interviewing and goal setting
- Strategies to understand and manage challenging behaviors
We offer flexible support, meeting you wherever you feel most comfortable—whether it’s at home, in the community, or at your workplace. We also provide services via Telepractice for added convenience.
