Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a structured, evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, impulsive behaviour and develop healthier coping strategies.
It combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to improve emotional regulation, interpersonal skills, and distress tolerance
Somatic Therapy focuses on the connection between mind and body, addressing the physical manifestations of trauma. By using body-centred techniques, this approach helps individuals release stored trauma and restore a sense of safety in their bodies.
It’s especially beneficial for those who have experienced complex trauma, providing a holistic path to healing and emotional recovery.
Interpersonal Psychodynamic Therapy explores the influence of past relationships and experiences on present behaviour and emotions.
This therapy helps individuals gain deeper self-awareness by uncovering unconscious patterns that may contribute to emotional distress. Through this process, clients can improve their interpersonal relationships and enhance their emotional well-being.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a widely used therapeutic approach that identifies and changes negative thought patterns and behaviours.
By helping individuals understand the link between their thoughts, feelings, and actions, CBT is effective in treating anxiety, depression, and various other mental health conditions. It empowers clients to develop practical skills for managing everyday challenges.
A Functional Capacity Assessment (FCA) is a valuable tool for understanding how a psychosocial disability resulting from a mental health condition, neurodevelopmental, or neurodivergent diagnosis—such as autism, ADHD, or PTSD—affects daily life. It examines aspects like communication, self-care, and how someone manages at home or within the community. For individuals applying for or reviewing NDIS funding, an FCA can provide the clarity and evidence necessary for aligning health support effectively. Most importantly, it ensures that support plans are genuinely aligned with each person’s unique strengths, challenges, and goals, allowing them to live with greater ease, confidence, and connection, supported by a wellbeing occupational therapist (OT).
A sensory assessment is essential for aligning health and understanding how someone experiences the world around them—elements such as noise, light, touch, and movement. For neurodivergent individuals, these everyday sensations can be overwhelming or draining, significantly impacting mood, focus, and daily routines. This sensory assessment delves into what helps someone feel calm, safe, and regulated, offering practical strategies that support wellbeing, whether at home, school, or work. It serves as a valuable starting point for creating environments and routines that truly work for the person, enhancing their overall comfort and wellbeing.
An executive functioning assessment examines the mental skills we use to plan, organize, focus, manage time, and accomplish tasks. For neurodivergent individuals or those facing mental health challenges, accessing these skills can be more difficult—particularly during periods of stress or overwhelm. This type of assessment is crucial for aligning health and wellbeing, as it identifies areas where support is needed and provides practical strategies to build confidence, reduce frustration, and make daily activities more manageable. It’s all about discovering the right tools and approaches through wellbeing OT to promote independence in a way that feels achievable and sustainable.
Our NDIS Access Assessments focus on understanding your lived experience and aligning health with your daily activities. We examine how your disability impacts daily life—not just what’s visible to others. Together, we create a strengths-based, evidence-informed report with the assistance of a wellbeing OT to support your Access Request and help you move toward meaningful, tailored supports.
Lifestyle coaching that incorporates holistic practices offers a powerful, compassionate approach to creating lasting change by aligning health with your overall wellbeing. By looking at the whole person—not just isolated symptoms or goals—this style of coaching helps you build healthy habits that actually stick. Whether you're navigating a major life transition or simply seeking more balance, mindfulness and other integrative tools can deepen your self-awareness, reduce stress, and reconnect you with what truly matters. It’s about creating the space to slow down, tune in, and make choices that align with your values and the life you want to live.


Looking for adult ADHD support that goes beyond focus tips and productivity hacks?
Many adults with ADHD struggle not because they lack motivation or intelligence, but because their nervous system is constantly overloaded. Emotional overwhelm, burnout, reactivity, shutdown, and chronic exhaustion are common — especially for late-diagnosed adults who have spent years masking and pushing through.
Align Wellness OT provides neuro-affirming adult ADHD support focused on emotional regulation, daily functioning, and sustainable ways of living, grounded in occupational therapy and real-world support, not behaviour suppression.

Because life after service shouldn’t just be survived — it should be lived fully. The Align Wellness OT Veteran Wellbeing Service focuses on aligning health through trauma-aware, neuro-affirming, whole-person occupational therapy for former ADF personnel who are dealing with the emotional, physical, and functional impacts of their service.
