Ellie
Occupational Therapist
I am a motivated and compassionate Occupational Therapist. I value working collaboratively with clients and their families to support meaningful and sustainable outcomes.
Areas of Expertise
Functional Skills retraining: includes therapy, assistive technology and home modifications to help individuals to regain or improve their participation in meaningful and everyday activities necessary for independent living (i.e., dressing, cooking, use of public transport)
Assistive technology: including assessment and prescription of assistive technology to improve participation, independence, and quality of life.
Pressure Care: Education and management strategies to maintain skin integrity and prevent/improve existing pressure injuries through prescription of pressure redistribution equipment and review of functional abilities, transfers, posture and other assistive technology.
Approach to Therapy
My approach is client-centred by supporting people to build independence and confidence to complete their daily tasks and activities. I approach therapy by focusing on the individuals’ strengths and goals to achieve meaningful outcomes.
Outside the Clinic
I enjoy staying active through exercise as well as spending time at the beach with my friends and family.
