Frequently Asked Questions
Who is find yourself happy aimed at?
Find Yourself Happy is designed for adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or uncertain about their next steps in life.
I support adults experiencing stress or life transitions move from feeling lost and overwhelmed to living a meaningful balanced life. I also support ex-military personnel transitioning from military to civilian life. Many of my clients are navigating significant life changes and find themselves questioning who they are, where they belong, or what they want their future to look like.
You don't need to be experiencing a mental health crisis to benefit from occupational therapy. Many people seek support because they want greater clarity, balance, confidence, and fulfilment in their daily lives.
Whether you're recovering from burnout, managing a major life transition, adjusting to life after service or simply feeling that something is missing, I can help you identify what matters most to you and create practical, meaningful changes that support your wellbeing..
What is occupational therapy?
Occupational therapist work with people to promote good health and wellbeing by supporting them to identify and create a schedule that supports meaningful activity, reduces stress and increases confidence.
What does a session involve?
Every session is tailored to your individual needs and guided by evidence-based occupational therapy approaches that support wellbeing, resilience, and meaningful change.
We'll begin by exploring what is currently happening in your life, including the challenges you're facing, what's important to you, and the areas where you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled. Together, we'll identify any barriers that may be affecting your wellbeing and preventing you from living the life you want.
Sessions provide a safe, supportive space for reflection, but they are also practical and action-focused. We will explore strategies to help you manage stress, build confidence, establish healthy routines, and reconnect with activities, roles, and relationships that bring meaning and purpose to your life.
As we work together, we'll set realistic and achievable goals and develop a personalised plan to help you move forward. The pace and level of support will always be guided by your individual preferences, needs, and circumstances.
For those living in County Durham, face-to-face sessions can be arranged in a location where you feel comfortable. For clients further afield, support is also available via telephone or video call.
You don't need to have all the answers before coming to a session. Many clients begin simply knowing that something doesn't feel right and wanting support to gain clarity about what comes next.
