Sessions with the OT will be aligned with the participant's NDIS plan goals and objectives to ensure that the services provided are in line with their approved funding and support needs.

Tailor treatment plans to the unique needs, goals, and abilities of each NDIS participant. Recognising that what works for one person may not work for another, and adapt accordingly.

Hi, I’m Tim, an Occupational Therapist and Service Manager at Conscious Healthcare SA.

With a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy and a Certificate IV in Leadership and Management, I’ve been working in the field since 2017. Over the past decade, I’ve gained valuable experience across various settings, including Return to Work SA, the Department of Veteran Affairs, lifetime support schemes, private practice, and the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). My career has evolved from being an occupational therapist to a team leader, and now a service manager, while I continue to provide hands-on therapy and supervision to support my clients and team.

I believe in a holistic, client-centred approach to care. My goal is to create a supportive and empowering environment where you feel comfortable expressing your needs and actively participating in your journey towards improved health and well-being. I specialise in working with neurodiverse individuals, including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), as well as clients managing a range of mental health challenges such as anxiety, mood disorders, behavioural difficulties, psychosis, and sleep-related issues.

In addition to my mental health expertise, I have extensive experience providing cognitive and physical therapy for individuals with spinal injuries, brain injuries, and amputations. I focus on pain management, including phantom limb treatment, and work closely with clients to develop strategies that enhance their ability to navigate daily life, improve social and communication skills, and manage mental and physical challenges.

In our sessions, you can expect a collaborative and compassionate approach. From the first session, I aim to build trust and rapport, ensuring that your goals are always at the forefront of our work together. Whether we’re developing coping strategies, enhancing your social skills, or addressing specific behaviours, my focus is on providing practical, evidence-based interventions that make a meaningful difference in your life.

Alongside my clinical work, I’ve had the privilege of training and supervising a range of allied health professionals, including psychologists, social workers, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists, helping them develop their skills and grow in their careers. I also support university students in their occupational therapy degrees, ensuring they gain the hands-on experience they need for future success.

Hi, I’m Anthea, an Occupational Therapist at Conscious Healthcare SA.

I’m passionate about helping people with a wide range of abilities lead more independent and fulfilling lives. With 7 years of experience as an Occupational Therapist, I’ve worked across residential aged care, community home care, and most recently, the NDIS setting. I completed my Bachelor of Applied Science (Occupational Therapy) at the University of South Australia in 2017, and since then, I’ve dedicated myself to providing compassionate, person-centred care.

I believe in truly getting to know you—your interests, your challenges, and where you’d like to go. My goal is to support you in achieving your goals, using a collaborative approach that ensures your needs and wishes are respected. I specialise in working with individuals who have Acquired Brain Injuries, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Intellectual Disabilities, Physical and Cognitive Disabilities, Neurological conditions, Sensory issues, and Mental Health concerns.

Some of my key strengths include functional capacity assessments, assistive technology, home modifications, and sensory processing. I also focus on helping you develop daily life skills that can enhance your functional independence and overall quality of life. Whether it’s through evidence-based interventions or tailored strategies like assistive technology, I’m here to offer the support you need to live a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

For participants who may have difficulty communicating or have reduced cognitive capacity, I work closely with their support team—whether it’s family, carers, advocates, or plan nominees—to ensure we’re all working together to improve quality of life and day-to-day participation.

I also have a special interest in using nature, gardening, and cooking therapy to improve well-being. Just a few minutes outdoors each day, taking in the sights, smells, and textures, can have a positive impact on mental health, and I love incorporating these simple joys into my therapy sessions.

I’m looking forward to supporting you on your Occupational Therapy journey!

In our sessions, I’ll ensure you understand the rationale behind each approach, so you can make decisions that are right for you.

I specialise in working with adults with diverse needs, particularly in areas such as neurological rehabilitation, pain management, and assistive technology. I’m dedicated to tailoring my approach to each individual, using evidence-based practices that address your unique challenges and goals.

Whether we’re exploring ways to manage pain, enhance mobility, or adapt daily tasks, I’m here to support you every step of the way, fostering independence and enhancing quality of life.

I look forward to working with you on your journey toward greater well-being and independence.

Hi, I’m Sona, an Occupational Therapist at Conscious Healthcare SA.

I’m passionate about supporting neurodivergent adults, including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), as well as individuals managing mental health conditions, neurological conditions, intellectual disabilities, and physical disabilities. My approach to therapy is built on empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices, with a commitment to creating a welcoming, supportive environment that empowers clients to achieve their personal goals.

In our sessions, I prioritise building strong relationships with both clients and their support networks to deeply understand each individual’s unique needs and aspirations. By tailoring person-centred interventions, I aim to help clients enhance their quality of life, build independence, and engage meaningfully in their daily activities.

While I am a junior occupational therapist, my diverse background includes a Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor of English Literature, equipping me with a broad range of skills that contribute to my holistic approach to care. I am dedicated to lifelong learning and staying up-to-date with the latest research in occupational therapy to ensure high standards of care for each client.

Hi, I’m Emily, an Occupational Therapist at Conscious Healthcare SA.

With over 5 years of experience and a Bachelor’s in Occupational Therapy from the University of South Australia, I’m passionate about helping individuals achieve their goals and live happy, meaningful lives. I offer my services exclusively via telehealth, allowing you to access care from the comfort of your own space. My experience extends beyond Australia—during a volunteer trip to Cambodia, I had the privilege of working with children with disabilities and their families, which deepened my understanding of cross-cultural care and holistic approaches.

As a certified yoga and mindfulness coach, I incorporate mind-body awareness into my practice to support both psychosocial well-being and functional improvements. My client-centered, neurodiverse-affirming approach empowers you to use your strengths and interests to guide our work together. In our relaxed and supportive virtual sessions, we’ll collaborate to make progress toward your goals in a way that feels comfortable and fun.

I specialise in mental health, developmental disabilities, neurological disorders, physical disabilities, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and more. My goal is to ensure you feel understood, comfortable, and empowered throughout our telehealth journey together.
