How We Can Help
At Minerva Allied Health Services, we provide services to all ages, in a space where you feel most comfortable whether that be in your home, our office, in the community or online.
Our occupational therapists aim to understand the barriers to doing things and identify ways to find better mental health. This could be through re-engaging in things that we used to enjoy, or through identifying new ways of doing things that could help us feel stronger in ourselves. It could also be to work through the barriers in our thoughts, feelings or motivation that stops us having good mental health.
