Hi, I’m
Fi Mitchell.
I’m a Children’s Occupational Therapist working with families in Castlemaine (and surrounds), Victoria.
What I do.
Individualised, goal based therapy for children and their families
Promote a growth mindset, skill development, independence and self-esteem
Celebrate the uniqueness and strengths of each child and work with families to further understand how each child experiences the world, assisting them to function at their best and flourish
Work with parents and carers as they develop supportive relationships
Support families where their needs are at each point in time
My values.
Where to start?
Get in touch to discuss how OT may look for you and your child.
I offer an initial session with the parent / carer as a 60-minute community based visit or telehealth consultation to gain a better understanding of your child’s needs.
Following this, we will book in a follow up session to meet you and your child in person to discuss goals and develop an individualised treatment plan.
Where therapy happens:
Sessions and consultations take place in your community spaces. Home, school, parks, playgrounds, in the shops, at a local pool, depending on what best suits you and your family.
Assessment, education, and therapy for:
Emotional development and Self-regulation
Daily living skills, sleeping, toileting, dressing, eating, organisation
Play skills
friendships and social skill development
School readiness, concentration
Sensory Processing
Handwriting
Fine and gross motor skills, strength, and coordination
Funding
Referrals can be made by parents, carers, teachers or other health professionals involved with the child.
I accept:
NDIS for self and plan managed children
(sorry, I can’t support NDIS managed clients)
