Hi!

I’m Justin, it’s so great to meet you! I’m the Occupational Therapist behind Encourage Therapy, I know how much I value being able to get to know someone a little and put a face to a name before I meet someone, so continue reading to find out more about me.

I have a Bachelors Degree in Occupational Therapy and I’ve decided to provide private occupational therapy services to Brisbane participants out in the community where they engage in their everyday lives. The good news is that I’ll be the sole therapist who journeys with you wherever you are in your life, ensuring you always have the same point of contact.

My experience ranges from working in the hospital setting as an undergraduate where I provided intensive rehabilitation support to people experiencing stroke, cancer treatment, paediatric vascular conditions and palliative care. I’ve also worked alongside people out in the community living with a vast variety of conditions. I have worked in the past as a support worker where I increased my experience in working alongside people living with autism spectrum disorder.

My experience in the sector has helped me notice some downfalls such as the long waitlist times, gaps between therapies, frequent turnover/changes of your therapists and therefore poor outcomes for you as the participant. I aim to overcome these downfalls by providing a personalised and individualistic approach to therapy that ensures you get seen as soon as possible by an evidence based therapist.

Throughout my career as an Occupational Therapist I have empowered people of all ages by inspiring them with new interventions that have assisted them with achieving their individual goals. I enjoy how my everyday isn’t the same and one day I may be providing therapy interventions to paediatric participants and then the next be providing equipment prescription for hospital discharge!

I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully meeting you soon!
