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

Comprehensive functional assessments identifying how mental health symptoms impact daily life, self-care, productivity, and social participation.
Individual therapy focused on emotional regulation, stress management, coping skills, and daily routine re-establishment.
Group interventions such as Stress & Emotion Regulation Training and Interpersonal, Social & Communication Skills Training.
Addressing psychosocial barriers to assist with a successful and sustainable return to work.
We focus on practical, measurable interventions that address functional barriers — moving beyond counselling to help clients regain confidence and independence.
