After completing my Psychology degree I didn’t know what I wanted to do for a career. I looked into different jobs and found Occupational Therapy. The diversity of the job really appealed to me. The theory behind OT really made sense — that we need to have meaningful occupations in our life to have purpose and optimise our wellbeing. I love working with different clients to help them achieve their goals and grow in confidence with everyday life skills. Every day is different and although that’s challenging at times, it’s also really rewarding.
