We provide services to adults over the age of 18 and older people. Occupational therapy helps people to live their lives in their own way. 

Many factors influence what we do in our lives and how satisfied we are with it. These include what we are motivated to do and our roles and responsibilities, which provide stability and structure to our everyday lives. An occupational therapist gets to know service users and carers/families to find out about and support them with:

• Volition: motivation to do things that are interesting and valuable to them. Their confidence in their own abilities, experiences and their hopes for the future.
• Roles: the day-to-day roles and responsibilities the service user has and their relationships with the people around them.
• Routines: what service users do on a daily or weekly basis. How their time is organised and whether they have a balance between self-care, productivity and leisure.
• Performance capacity: the abilities and skills that the service user needs every day to concentrate and organise tasks; physically manage what they need to do and also to interact with others. 
• Physical and social environments: the place where the service user lives and the places they go to, as well as who they spend time with and the resources they have to support them. 

These areas are important as they are linked to self-care, productivity, working towards your goals, leisure and having having a satisfying routine.
