We did it!

💚

Great CPD today with Acorra on bed equipment for children and small-stature adults. Amazing to see how the right equipment can really support safety and independence. Feeling ready for my rotation across adult and paediatric services! 💚

Huge congratulations 🎉💚

I am very proud of my child 🥰
He really enjoys drawing, so he has made us our very own masks.
Princess, Penguin and a Baboon.

Absolutely adore that he enjoys drawing as much as I always did and still do ♥️

Four weeks as a registered Occupational Therapist — it still doesn’t feel real. Grateful for how far I’ve come and excited for the growth ahead. Here’s to learning, purpose, and making a difference 💚 #OccupationalTherapy #Growth

Having a membership really supported my time at uni. Being able to access articles etc. was a huge help as well as feeling part of the OT community 💚💚

Wow!
Today I received my degree classification - a first!
I have also been awarded the course prize 'Endeavour' by my course team.

Next step: HCPC registration 💚💚

Wow! How stunning is this. Such a great visual for the many OT models learnt in uni.

Absolutely stunning @ohteasuz.bsky.social 😍😍

I had the best time celebrating finishing and passing my course with my girls.

A meal for two ended up being a surprise lovely evening with some of my faves.

❤️

Four challenging years, one big piece of empirical research, and… I passed! 🎉

Next stop: becoming a qualified Occupational Therapist 💚

Fingers crossed for a pass 🤞🏼

As someone who has had a family member have OT input re: work, I am glad to see this 💚

The strengths and limitations of CBT across mental health conditions CBT is a cornerstone of mental health care, but how well does it work across disorders? New meta-analysis offers some answers and raises new questions.

Diving into how #CBT tackles a wide range of mental health conditions in my new blog, reviewing @pimcuijpers.bsky.social and co new meta-analysis. If you care about evidence-based therapy and when to explore options beyond the basics, check it out on @thementalelf.bsky.social ➡️ buff.ly/DbNCq8k ☀️

Last night I went to a dance class at the gym. An hour of dancing went so quickly as it's something I enjoy.

Getting back to participating in my own meaningful occupations to get me through this dissertation 💚

Look at these stats!!

Today marks my final teaching
day at Coventry University. 3 more weeks until submission 💚
Couldn't have done it without these three amazing humans #FutureOT #OTapprentice #OccupationalTherapy

I recently spoke at a local school about my journey as an occupational therapy apprentice. Only one student had heard of OT, but I hope they all left with a better understanding-and maybe some curiosity to learn more.

Grateful for the chance to share my story and inspire the next generation 💚

Occupational Therapy Adaptation Conference at the Molineux Stadium today. The sun is shining ☀️ #OccupationalTherapy #OTapprentice #OTstudent

I forgot how calming I found drawing.

Since being a mum and starting my apprenticeship, I have realised I have left little time for meaningful occupations.

The emotions I experience when writing my most recent assignment, "Emerging Issues in Practice". A mixture of abundant creativity and an impending sense of overwhelm 🫠 #OTstudent #OTapprentice #OccupationalTherapy
