I use a mind body, trauma informed approach to support others in their recovery journey with conditions such as Long Covid and chronic pain. I embed traditional elements including pacing and activity tracking alongside more innovative approaches such as the use of neuroplasticity and regulation of the nervous system, to optimise recovery and lessen the impact of symptoms. I work with clients looking at all areas including work and home life, sleep and mental wellbeing to ensure a holistic approach to recovery.
Having spent many years working in mental health I am confident in dealing with both the physical and mental health aspects of chronic conditions, and understand on a profound level the connection between the two.
The techniques I use can also greatly benefit people suffering from chronic stress and anxiety.
I continue to work as a Clinical Specialist OT within a multidisciplinary team in the NHS alongside my independent work, which allows me to keep up to date with research and the wider networks involved in Long Covid service development. I'm also skilled in providing training and supervision.
Testimonial: “Alison is an experienced OT who has been pivotal to my healing from Long Covid. She has a deep understanding of a range of powerful healing modalities and has been extremely intuitive in combining these to provide me with a tailored program for recovery. She is a brilliant listener and thoughtful with her feedback and advice. Her unique personal experience of healing from Long Covid helps her to relate on a deeper level” (Sophie, client)
