Hi, I’m
Fi Mitchell.
I’m a Children’s Occupational Therapist working with families on Dja Dja Wurrung country, in Castlemaine, Victoria.
What I do.
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
Individualised, neuro affirming & goal based therapy for children and their families
Promote a growth mindset, skill development, independence and self-esteem
Work with parents and carers as they develop supportive relationships
Support families & children 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 my clinic space in Castlemaine and in your community spaces. Home, school, parks, playgrounds, in the shops, at the ‘res’, out in nature, depending on what best suits you and your family.

Daily living skills, sleeping, toileting, dressing, eating, organisation
