Mental Health Support for Adults

Anchor Therapy OTs can support adults who are experiencing low mood and depression, worry and anxiety, developmental trauma, ADHD, trichotillomania, schizophrenia, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and stress.

OT can help you to:

• Build skills and confidence to prepare you for working again if you've had some time off due to ill-health

• Negotiate work accommodations with your workplace by providing you with a thorough OT assessment of what supports might need to put in place at work. You can get a grant to access free OT suupport for work accomodations! Read here.
