Ultra Health Therapies™ - Mental Health Occupational Therapy

Occupation is EVERTHING we do and want to do in everyday life. Sometimes we can become occupationally deprived through addiction, depression, anxiety or other forms of illness. Sometimes we can become occupationally unwell and unsafe through risky behaviours and unhealthy relationships. Sometimes we can become occupationally confused due to lack of purpose and direction.

Mental health occupational therapy is also about purpose and meaning in life.

Occupational Therapy (OT) is a 4 year degree where occupational therapists study subjects such as anatomy, physiology, psychology, psychiatry subjects and life span development. Occupational therapists work in areas such as mental health, disability, neurological rehabilitation (such as stroke), vocational rehabilitation, aged care, brain injury and paediatrics. The overall goal of OTs is to enable function, maximize participation, and empower their clients to be equal partners in their recovery and to work 'whole-istically' in a client centered manner.

Ultra Health Therapies™ - Holistic Counselling

Holistic counselling acknowledges that true wellness occurs on all levels - physical, mental, and emotional. It is an integrated approach to supporting personal health and wellbeing, which can result in a range of important outcomes, including:

  • A deeper understanding of self
  • Greater self-esteem
  • Emotional healing
  • Recovery from grief and trauma
  • A deeper understanding of your emotions, behaviours and experiences in life and how they contribute to your health and wellbeing
  • Greater awareness and a higher level of consciousness
  • Development of interpersonal skills
  • New ways of relating to yourself and others
  • Reduced stress and anxiety
  • Improved ability to feel empowered and succeed in life.

By working to improve these aspects of self, there is an inevitable improvement in general health and wellbeing, and ability to make good choices in life.

A good example of the power of holistic counselling is in the issue of weight loss. Obesity is a multi faceted issue which needs to be addressed on all levels, including - and often most importantly - the mental/emotional drivers behind persistent weight gain. When these are identified and addressed through a safe and supported therapeutic process, a healthy relationship with food is much more effortlessly achieved and maintained.
