How we can help

Increasing Independence:

We can work together to establish what daily activities are meaningful to you and identify what is stopping you from performing these activities in the way that you would like.

We used a mixture of restorative and compensatory approaches to help you overcome any difficulties.

We will work with you to set realistic short-term and long-term goals and ensure that your goals are reviewed regularly.

Here are a few examples of the areas of daily living activities that we can work on together:

  • Getting washed and dressed

  • Medication management

  • Transferring safely in and out of bed, on and off your armchair or toilet

  • Feeding

  • Accessing public transport

  • Shopping

  • Hobbies and interests

  • Work-related roles

This list is not exhaustive and is intended to give you a flavour of what we can offer.

If the activity that you want to gain your independence in is not listed here, then please contact us and we can discuss how we can help you.

Cognitive Rehabilitation:

We can help assess and identify cognitive impairments caused by your brain injury. We can help devise an intervention plan to help address the cognitive impairment and offer education to your family/friends/carers about your cognitive impairment and strategies that would work best.

Below is a list of typical cognitive impairments:

  • Difficulty concentrating

  • Difficulty with multi-tasking

  • Short-term or long-term memory problems

  • Planning, organising and sequencing tasks effectively

  • Difficulties with problem-solving

  • To able to think and respond in a flexible manner

  • Lacking Insight and awareness into impairments

Fatigue Management:

Fatigue is a common issue after a brain injury. This is a result of the brain working harder to compensate for the impairments caused by the brain injury, therefore using up more energy quicker.

We can offer the following services:

  • Identifying factors that contribute to fatigue

  • Help you learn how to anticipate and manage fatigue.

  • Develop a personalised fatigue management programme to allow you to participate in your daily activities.

  • Education for you, family, friends, carers, or your workplace etc…
