Flying Kite Occupational Therapy Providing client-centred, holistic occupational therapy services in Newcastle and the Central Coast

ABOUT FLYING KITE OT

Flying Kite OT provides mobile occupational therapy services to clients within Newcastle, the Hunter Valley and Central Coast NSW. Services are primarily catered towards neurodivergent adolescents and adults and those living with mental health disorders, though due to the complex interrelationship between psychosocial health, physical disability and neurodivergence, a range of services are offered in order to provide individualised and holistic therapy. Flying Kite OT additionally implements ecotherapy (outdoor and nature-based therapy) where feasible and appropriate to optimise mental health outcomes while improving physical health and capacity-building in a range of functional activities. Flying Kite OT is owned and operated by Greta Kite-Gilmour, a fully qualified Occupational Therapist with a background in human physiology, sensory processing and psychology. She holds a Master of Occupational Therapy, a Bachelor Degree in Science, a Graduate Certificate in Human Movement Science and a Certificate in Ecotherapy. Greta has 6+ years of disability, NDIS and mental health experience and has a passion for providing neuroaffirmative, holistic and individualised therapy services to each of her valued clients.

Hello lovely friends and clients of Flying Kite OT!

I'm super excited to share that I have opened up a separate holistic mental health occupational therapy service, Alchemise Holistic Therapy, specifically catered to women and girls (trans and non-binary welcome) living with mental health concerns and/or trauma.

I will be operating Alchemise Holistic Therapy one day per week on Wednesdays out of the serene Urth Studio in Redhead.

In line with the latest research in trauma-informed therapy, I will be providing a mix of cognitive and somatic (body-based) therapy for the most effective outcomes for my beautiful clients and NDIS participants. All therapy is gently paced and client-led, creating a safe space for self-discovery and growth.

If this sounds like something from which you, a family member, clients or NDIS participants may benefit, please share or jump online to my bookings page at:

www.achemise.com.au/b-o-o-k-i-n-g

I will still be providing functional capacity assessments (FCAs) through Alchemise Holistic Therapy, with a mental health and trauma focus.

I will, of course, continue to be operating Flying Kite OT as a mobile therapist as usual on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Alchemise Holistic Therapy, like Flying Kite OT, is a neuroaffirmative practice that welcomes individuals of diverse backgrounds, sexual preferences and cultures.

Thank you as always for your continued support πŸ™πŸŒ»πŸ’›

The intention is to reflect a few changes to my therapy services. In order to provide more targeted therapy to all of my valued clients, services will now be primarily catered towards neurodivergent adolescents and adults, and those living with mental health issues. πŸ’œ

Of course, due to the complex relationships between mental health, social wellbeing, physical disability and neurodivergence, I will continue to offer functional, housing and assistive technology assessments in order to provide individualised, yet holistic therapy. ✨

​I will additionally be implementing ecotherapy (outdoor and nature-based therapy) where feasible and appropriate to optimise mental health outcomes while improving physical health and capacity-building in a range of functional (and fun!) activities. 🌿

I'd love you to come visit the website and learn more about what I do and how I might be able to support you and your loved ones πŸ₯°
