GP & Healthcare Professional Referrals
Specialist Occupational Therapy for Adults with Mental Health, Neurodiversity and Complex Health Needs
At Serenity Occupational Therapy, we work alongside GPs, consultants, psychologists, psychiatrists, physiotherapists, nurses and other healthcare professionals to provide specialist occupational therapy assessments and evidence-based interventions that help people regain independence, improve daily functioning and enhance their quality of life.
We understand that many clients need more than medication or a diagnosis - they need practical support to overcome the challenges affecting their everyday lives. Our occupational therapists provide personalised, goal-focused interventions that empower individuals to build confidence, manage their health and return to the activities that matter most.
Whether someone is struggling with anxiety, burnout, autism, ADHD, long COVID, chronic fatigue or difficulties returning to work, we provide comprehensive assessments and tailored treatment plans designed to achieve meaningful outcomes.
