About Meaningful OT
We support clients who are struggling with their mental health to achieve the life they should be living. Through an occupational therapy lens, we take the time to understand each person fully — assessing their environment, their
occupations, and them as an individual. We walk alongside our clients and guide them for however long it takes to reach the goals that are meaningful to them. Our work takes many forms: in clinic, in the community, in person, and through home visits. We support people in workplace settings, and we deliver talks that share our clinical knowledge with wider audiences. Above all, we use our clinical expertise and skill base to sit down with clients and collaboratively write goals, helping people build the life they have always wanted to live — but have somehow felt they couldn't reach.
