A Different Way of Doing Occupational Therapy

The world can feel overwhelming. For many people, everyday demands, expectations, and routines can create stress, dysregulation, and a sense of being disconnected from yourself.

I am an Occupational Therapist who specialises in nature-based practice, working with people who feel out of sync with daily life. My work supports neurodivergent individuals, people recovering and healing from life changing surgery, and those experiencing anxiety, burnout, executive dysfunction, or difficulty with routines. 

Rather than asking you to fit into systems that don’t work for you, I work alongside you to discover what does.

Who I Work With

I support people who:

  • Experience anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, or nervous system dysregulation 
  • Are neurodivergent (including autism, ADHD, and sensory differences)
  • Are recovering from life changing surgery/conditions and the mental challenges of this
  • Struggle with daily routines, motivation, or executive functioning 
  • Feel disconnected from their bodies, confidence, or sense of self

You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from this work — you just need to feel that something isn’t quite working the way you want it to.

How I Work

I begin by meeting you exactly where you are. 

Through gentle assessment and conversation, we explore your current capacities, challenges, environment, and nervous system needs. 

From there, we move at your pace. Nature is used as a supportive and regulating space, not as a performance or therapy you have to “do right”, but as a grounding presence that helps the body and mind settle. 

Together, we: 

  • Build awareness of what helps you feel regulated and safe
  • Explore your strengths, needs, and values
  • Rebuild confidence and trust in your abilities
  • Develop routines and ways of living that are realistic, flexible, and meaningful 

This is not about fixing you. It’s about supporting you to live in a way that works for your nervous system and your life.

Why Nature?

Nature offers space, rhythm, and sensory input that many people find deeply regulating. It can reduce pressure, soften overwhelm, and create room for reflection and growth. 

Nature therapy centres on the belief that people are connected to and impacted by the natural environment.  Used intentionally, nature supports nervous system regulation, self‑connection, and confidence - especially for people who feel overstimulated or misunderstood in traditional settings. 

You don’t need to be outdoorsy or adventurous. Nature meets you gently, wherever you are.

What You Can Expect  

  • Practical support that translates into everyday life
  • Care that honours identity, autonomy, and lived experience
  • Collaboration, not judgement or pressure
  • A calm, steady process of discovery and growth

About Roots OT

Roots OT is a nature based Occupational Therapy service that ​works with people who struggle to function in ways that are expected of them — often because they’re neurodivergent, anxious, burnt out, or healing from life changing surgery/conditions. We assess where someone is at, then gently support them to regulate their nervous system, rebuild confidence, and create daily routines that actually fit their life, rather than forcing themselves into systems that don’t!
