Reach whats possible
Ready to Rise
I founded Ready To Rise to empower women living with mental health concerns, to achieve long term independence, whilst building a trusted community around them for ongoing support.
My hope is to create a safe space where women are heard, understood, supported and resourced to navigate life challenges without relying on long term therapy.
My work is underpinned by trauma informed and recovery oriented frameworks. In my practice I draw on a range of structured therapeutic tools and interventions to improve the health and wellbeing of my clients. The focus is on reducing the impact of clinical symptoms, improving their ability to pursue goals and promote recovery.

What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy (OT) is a client-centred health profession concerned with promoting health and wellbeing through occupation. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life. Occupational therapists achieve this outcome by working with people and communities to enhance their ability to engage in the occupations they want to, need to, or are expected to do (WFOT, 2012).
Assessments
I utilise a range of informal and standardised assessments and a foundation to plan support and therapeutic interventions.
Specific assessments which include a report with reccommendations are:
- Functional capacity assessments
- Sensory assessments
- Cognitive assessments
- Risk and personal safety planning
Therapy
My work is underpinned by trauma informed and recovery orientated frameworks. The focus is on reducing the impact of clinical symptoms, improving clients ability to pursue meaningful goals and promote recovery.
In clinic appointments, home visits and tele-health are offered.
Education and coaching
I use psychoeducation and coaching techniques to help clients, families and carers improve their skills in relation to the management of mental illness and its symptoms.
Coaching and psychoeducation are often build into therapeutic plans however can be provided as a stand alone service.
