We also offer a professional service to individuals, families, case managers, solicitors and statutory organisations.

Our therapists work out how best to give the help that people need. For some, it can be group or 1:1 support as part of our Day Service in Haggerston. For other individuals, couples or families it might be private sessions at home or from other venues in the community.
Each individual’s pathway is unique and we work with our professional teams to determine the best package of support.
Our occupational therapists help people live a full life as independently as they can. From brushing your teeth to grocery shopping. From sorting out a weekly routine to studying. From succeeding in work to maintaining a healthy social life.
Our specialist team provide the support people need in the way that works for them.
A great example of this is “How I want to be treated by health professionals”, a document created by our members to improve communications with health professional after a brain injury. Find out more.
Our interdisciplinary team of therapists help people engage in activities that improve their mobility and boost their feelings of wellbeing. Covering yoga, dance, tai chi and more, exercises and advice are developed to suit individuals’ needs and interests, from improving strength and balance to managing pain, fatigue and dizziness.
Brain injury can have a big impact on a person’s identity, role, behaviour, personality and relationships. Our counsellors, psychologists and psychotherapists help survivors – and those around them – understand and manage these changes. Our team shares its expertise with other professionals and students on placement. Find out more about our Psychological therapy services here.
