What is OT

Occupational Therapy (OT) enables people to make the changes they desire in their behaviour or lifestyles. Applying OT knowledge and evidence based practice into how we work, Greta Intentions provides holistic support to motivate and facilitate the changes in a person’s day-to-day life in which they experience difficulties shifting.  

OT is most commonly known for providing services in hospitals, aged care, disability and early childhood services; supporting people through rehabilitation, home modifications and equipment prescriptions, and skill building programs. 

More broadly, OT looks to enable people to participate in tasks and activities that they need to, have to and want to do. Needs are required for survival, haves are tasks for health and wellbeing, and wants are activities and actions for desire and satisfaction. 

Greta Intentions has been created to take OT services out of hospitals and clinics, providing services in homes or local communities. We provide the opportunity to all people to address these need-to, have-to, and want-to tasks and activities, so that they can live a high quality of life. With a strong focus on motivational interviewing, behaviour analysis, building capable environments and values-driven support, Greta looks to establish systems and supports that allow for sustainable behavioural changes. 

We invite all people to join our inclusive community, sharing the values of authenticity, supportiveness, curiosity and personal growth.
