when did you establish Kent Occupational Therapy?

November 2011.

what do you like about being an OT?

I love the positivity of the profession; occupational therapy is all about finding out about the person you are working with and their strengths and enabling them to be as independent as they can. Occupational therapists make this the focus of treatment rather than a person’s illness or disability.
Creating a supportive, enthusiastic and happy team has been extremely important to Sarah and I as we feel this projects onto the people we work with, and we believe this makes Kent Occupational Therapy special.

Outside of work

I love my garden and the thought that it’s an ever-changing space that can always give us something new to enjoy! My best times are spent with my family and partner enjoying a home-cooked meal together or having a drink with the girls!
