Occupational Therapists & Services in London

Occupational therapists can support people of all ages when physical and mental illness, disability, long-term condition, or the effects of ageing deter them from completing the actions they need or aspire to do.

Help to find an occupational therapist in London

Your first point of call should be to speak to your GP about reaching an occupational therapist nearby. If you routinely see a social worker, nurse or different healthcare professionals, they can also assist you in reaching an occupational therapist through health or social services.

Be prepared to explain all the difficulties that you have and how they are influencing your daily life or the lives of those that care for you.

You may need to understand how long it will be before you gain an appointment, so don't forget to ask if there is a waiting list.

An independent occupational therapist operates outside the national health and social care services, so there should be less waiting time, although these practitioners will require payment for their services.
