Mindspace OT

28/10/2025

Ever wondered what an OT actually does in mental health? 🧠 🌊 🧭
Well we don’t “fix” people or get bogged down on a diagnosis, instead we help people understand what they’re experiencing right now, find ways to change the environment and build strategies that actually work with their brain, to meet their needs.

This OT week I’ll be shining a light on mental health OT’s and the value we bring to all spaces ✨✨✨

🎉 Happy World OT Day! 🎉
At Mindspace OT, we’re all about meeting young people where they’re at and celebrating their strengths, differences and interests to build confidence and independence in the areas (occupations) that matter most to them.
For some, this might mean developing coping strategies to manage anxiety or sensory overload. For others, it’s finding new ways to connect whilst learning how to work with their brain, not against it.

If you’re a new grad OT or about to become one, then this one’s for you! ✨
Nobody tells you how overwhelming those first few months can feel. The never ending to-do lists, skipping breaks just to try and catch up and wondering if you’re doing enough.
But here’s the truth, you don’t need to finish everything on your list, lunch breaks are not optional, and you’re still a great OT even when you’re learning as you go.

Ever wake up already exhausted… before you even get out of bed? 😴
That’s the mental load you’re carrying at work.
Your brain is running through all the things:
• Kids’ routines
• What’s for dinner?
• The appointment you still need to book
• The email you forgot to reply to
• All the “don’t forgets” for everyone else

By the time your day actually starts, you’ve already burned through half your battery.

It’s not laziness. It’s most likely overload. And ADHD brains struggle even harder because executive functioning gets used up faster 🧠
