What Is Mental Health Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy in mental health conditions focuses on how emotional well-being, environment, and physical health affect daily life and participation. It recognises that mental illness can influence motivation, concentration, and relationships, impacting everyday activities like self-care, cooking, socialising, or returning to work.

A occupational therapist specialising in mental health helps you develop practical strategies to manage, improve emotional wellbeing and create supportive routines. This may include deep breathing exercises, coping strategies, sensory regulation, and building a structured daily routine that supports balance and stability.

Our occupational therapists aim to improve occupational performance, strengthen communication skills, and foster participation in meaningful activities that contribute to overall well-being. Through a holistic approach, we help individuals with their mental health and wellbeing by building confidence, independence, and resilience.

Our Occupational Therapy services translate therapy into practical, real-world change. We support individuals across a wide range of mental health conditions by helping them:

  • Develop strategies to manage emotions, energy, and stress in everyday situations.
  • Build coping skills and self-esteem through mindfulness, commitment therapy, and stress management tools.
  • Establish a structured daily routine that balances productivity, rest, and leisure activities.
  • Identify triggers and implement techniques designed to reduce triggers and improve overall wellbeing
  • Strengthen social engagement, maintain friendships, relationships and participate confidently in community activities.
  • Learn new skills for self-care, organisation, and motivation.
  • Reconnect with meaningful activities that promote personal growth and improved well-being.

Our occupational therapy specialising in mental health services can assist with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, and other mental health issues. Every plan is built around your personal goals, with the support of qualified occupational therapists who understand the realities of mental health when supporting people accessing the NDIS.

How We Help

Benefits of At-home Care

Receiving OT support within the home allows therapy to take place in a comfortable, familiar space – helping you integrate new habits more easily into everyday life.

  • Reduced physical and mental strain – therapy happens in your own environment.
  • Real-world practice – sessions focus on everyday activities that matter to you.
  • Family inclusion – where appropriate, carers and family can provide valuable support and accountability.
  • Improved mental health – consistent, personalised care leads to sustainable progress.
  • Holistic approach – our therapists address emotional, social, and physical factors for balanced recovery.

This flexible model is ideal for NDIS participants who benefit from regular, community-based therapy that promotes lasting independence.

Our Process: From Understanding to Empowerment

We Go From There

With your plan in place, we provide therapy in the setting that works best for you – through home visits, community sessions, or even telehealth services when appropriate. We’ll monitor your progress, update your plan regularly, and adjust strategies as your needs evolve.

Our occupational therapists work collaboratively with psychologists, GPs, and other healthcare professionals to ensure your therapy remains person-centred and focused on meaningful outcomes. This process is the foundation of our occupational therapy in mental health, helping clients achieve balance, independence, and overall well-being.

Occupational Therapist vs Psychologist

Both health professionals play an important role in recovery, but their focus differs:

  • A occupational therapist sepcialising in mental health helps you develop practical skills to manage daily life – routines, self-care, and community participation. They focus on function, participation, and quality of life.
  • A psychologist focuses on talk-based therapies like cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy, exploring emotions, thought patterns, and trauma.

When combined, they provide a powerful team: the psychologist helps you understand why you feel the way you do, while the occupational therapist helps you practise how to live well with those feelings.

Do I Need a Referral?

You can access our occupational therapy services without a referral.

  • NDIS participants – self-managed and plan-managed clients can contact our OT Brisbane team directly.
  • Aged care clients – we accept Home Care Packages (HCP)?? and Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) funding.
  • Private clients – some private health funds cover occupational therapy in mental health.

Our team can guide you through eligibility, referrals, and funding options to make accessing mental health OT NDIS services simple and stress-free.
