Occupational therapy that changes lives — since 2014
Founded by Andrea Matthews, Creative OT has grown from a single practice into a specialist team spanning the Midlands and North West, supporting children, adults, and organisations to achieve what matters most to them.
Built on a belief that everyone deserves the right support
Andrea Matthews founded Creative OT in 2014 with a clear purpose — to provide occupational therapy that is genuinely high quality, genuinely person-centred, and genuinely makes a difference to the people who need it most.
Since then, the team has grown to include Sensory Integration Practitioners, Advanced Practitioners, and specialists in acquired brain injury, manual handling, and housing adaptations. Every OT is matched to clients based on specialism and location, so you always get the most relevant clinical expertise for your situation.
A new therapy clinic near Birmingham is opening soon — adding even more ways for families and individuals to access the support they need.

Working alongside Creative Physiotherapy
Creative OT is the trading name for Creative Occupational Therapy Solutions Ltd — the sister company of Creative Physiotherapy Ltd. Together, our teams offer a joined-up approach to physical and functional rehabilitation, with shared values and closely coordinated care when needed.
This relationship means that where physical rehab is part of the picture, our clients can access physiotherapy through a team that already understands their OT history and goals.
