Insomnia and Poor Sleep
Sleep is a refreshing tonic that is a completely natural and free way of improving your productivity, emotional and cognitive functioning, and physical and mental health. However, if your sleep is poor you have difficulty learning, focussing and you react more slowly. You might feel frustrated, cranky and worried, or unable to cope with difficult emotions. We are trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapeutic approaches for sleep-wake difficulties and disorders . If you can't get to sleep, can't stay asleep, or wake up too early and can't get back to sleep, we have a programme that can help.

Occupational Therapy for Better Mental Health
At Life Balance Therapy, we understand how your mental health can make you feel unable to do things in your daily life you used to do, but there is no judgement or pressure from us when you can't function well. Our occupational therapy services for depression, stress and anxiety and other mental health conditions help you manage your symptoms and develop effective coping strategies so you can regain control of your life, rebuild your confidence, and do what matters to you. We can help you get further along the road to wellbeing. Occupational Therapy compliments medicinal treatment, for example if your GP has given you antidepressants, or other medications, we can support that, and help you live a life where you feel better. We will help you develop routines and habits and social connections that help you more settled and happier. You will get stronger, and we help you rebuild your confidence, and find your identity.
Support for Carers and families
Sometimes circumstances and physical and mental health conditions are complex and difficult and we provide an important source of professional support for carers and their families. We understand the time and commitment you devote, but also the impact that has on you and the things you need and want to do in your own life. We are supportive and professional, and support you in taking care of your own needs, leaving you stronger to help and support those you are working with. We can also help when your role changes and you are making that difficult transition into a different routine, so you are less alone and more supported.

Occupational Therapy for Physical Health
At Life Balance Therapy, we understand that health issues can impact your ability to perform everyday activities. We can help by providing ways to manage the tasks during Long Term Health challenges, or when you are recovering from an illness or disease, or after a hospital stay. Some activities are more important than others to you, and our therapeutic toolbox supports the life you want to live. Sometimes circumstances and health conditions are complex and we maximise independence as far as possible, and with compassion and respect, help you explore options for ways around the difficulties.

Professionals: Multidisciplinary Teamworking
Not sure if Occupational Therapy is right for you?
If you are not sure if we are right for you there is no pressure from us. Why not do some research into Occupational Therapy? Look at our Royal College (click here) and explore the work we do, and the broad settings we work in, and the wide range of people of people we work with and consider if it might suit you too. Always speak to your GP if you have a medical matter or as your first point of call for access to most health care professionals and statutory services - including getting access to the NHS occupational therapy services. But, also bookmark this page and then you can come back here feeling more confident and informed.

The work that we do complements rather than conflicts with the work of other professionals. Life Balance Therapy can supplement established approaches to health and wellbeing with additional biopsychosocial assessment of functioning and/or rehabilitative therapy. For example, if you need an assessment of how someone functions in an everyday task, or if you recognise someone's needs are complex or have changed, and you are not sure how to meet them, we can help with that. In the NHS we work effortlessly on shared goals in multidisciplinary teams of doctors, nurses, psychologists, physiotherapists, speech therapists, and/or dieticians, who are our allied health professional colleagues. In the community our work complements that of the social worker; homecare, domiciliary, and nursing care agencies; voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations offering social prescriptions, and and independent practitioners. Not every organisation wants a full time OT, but everyone needs one sometimes. At Life Balance Therapy we work on a casework/project/ad-hoc basis - Send us a contact if you'd like to discuss, or book our Assessment of functioning with report package.​​
