About Julia Moore

I am an accredited Occupational Therapist specialising in the mental health field for over 20 years.  I completed my Bachelor of Applied Science in Occupational Therapy in 1992 at Curtin University and have worked both in the public and private health sectors since this time.  Most recently I have worked in the youth sector of the health department providing therapy and support to the 16-25 year old population – often a particularly challenging time in a person’s life in establishing independence, role identity, value systems and future goals. 

Mental health issues can significantly impact on a person’s sense of who they are, what they do, what they love and the relationships they have – a challenge in so many ways.  I offer a practical and supportive approach to therapy that is focused on working alongside the client to assist them in developing healthy coping strategies and skills, in order to minimise the impact of their mental health difficulties and enhance their functioning and overall wellbeing.  In my work I draw on a range of psychological and occupational therapy strategies in order to promote positive mental and physical health, enhance function, meaning and purpose in life.
