My name is Sharon, and I am an AHPRA-registered Occupational Therapist with a deep passion for mental health and wellbeing. I bring extensive experience from diverse settings within the mental health sector, supporting individuals with a wide range of conditions. Guided by the holistic philosophy of occupational therapy, I view each person as a whole—considering their physical, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions. My practice is rooted in a recovery-oriented and client-centred approach, empowering you to achieve your goals and enhance your quality of life.
