Recovery Focus

Mental Health Occupational Therapy, Community-based, Central Coast.

Recovery Focus has a core belief that positive life change is possible for those living with a mental illness. With purposeful skill-building therapy our clients make meaningful steps towards achieving their life goals.

Many clients come to us because they are struggling with unwanted symptoms of mental illness. This struggle is causing them to feel stuck and is preventing them from engaging in the life that they have long imagined for themselves.

Their attempts to solve their problems may have led to some short-term gains, but too often have also resulted in further pain, dependence on others, developing unhelpful life patterns, and addictions. Clients often feel frustrated at their performance in daily life tasks and the level of dependence on others. They frequently feel isolated and fearful of change.

Recovery Focus aims to deeply understand the unique life circumstances of each client. Our team of Occupational Therapists are trained to assess level of functional capacity. They facilitate the learning and application of skills to improve performance and build independence in daily life activities. Clients will be supported to explore personal core values to provide the means to motivation and drive for fulfilling meaningful life goals.

Simply, we love partnering with people to achieve the goals that are important to them!
