Home visits and housing assessments in London
A lot of occupational therapy happens where you live. Therapists visit London homes to assess how you manage day to day, recommend equipment or adaptations, and write reports you can use with your landlord or local council, including applications for housing adaptations. London housing brings its own challenges, from stairs in converted flats to shared entrances, and an occupational therapist can suggest practical changes that make everyday life easier and safer.
Support for children and families
Occupational therapists help London children with sensory processing differences, handwriting, school routines and independence skills, working with families at home and alongside nurseries and schools. Independent assessments and reports are often used to support Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) applications to London boroughs. If you need a report, tell the therapist at the start so they can plan the assessment properly.
Returning to work and managing fatigue
Occupational therapists also support working Londoners: getting back to work after illness, injury or surgery, workstation and routine changes that make office or home working sustainable, and pacing strategies for fatigue linked to long-term conditions such as multiple sclerosis or long COVID. Sessions for this kind of support often work well online, so you can fit them around your working day.
What private sessions cost
Every occupational therapist on Therapyway sets their own price, shown upfront on their profile before you book. A 50-minute session typically costs £60 to £120, and you pay per session with no subscription and no sign-up fee. Many therapists also offer a free introductory consultation, so you can check they're the right fit before committing.
