Get in Touch

You might be here because...

Sometimes you know exactly what support is needed. Other times, you simply know that something is becoming harder than it should be.

You, your child or young person may be:

Finding handwriting, study or written tasks difficult

Becoming overwhelmed or dysregulated easily

Finding it hard to focus, organise, plan or get started

Struggling to manage time, routines or everyday responsibilities

Avoiding particular sounds, textures, clothing or busy environments

Seeking lots of movement or sensory input

Finding changes, transitions or unexpected situations difficult

Needing more support with everyday independence

Finding school, further study, work or community participation challenging

Finding friendships, communication or social situations difficult

Wanting to build confidence and independence as they move towards adulthood

A teacher, school, GP or another professional may have suggested occupational therapy, or you may simply be looking for support yourself.

Go Beyond Therapy was founded on a passion to support families holistically. Our range of services are designed to offer a variety of options to best support our families.

By offering a range of services that can be accessed outside the clinic session, we provide our families with flexible options to work towards achieving their goals.

We are committed to providing you and your family with support in a compassionate and meaningful way. Located in Heathmont & Croydon, we offer services to the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne.

How can we help

Occupational Therapy

Our occupational therapists work with children, teenagers and young adults to understand what may be making everyday activities more difficult and identify practical ways to support participation, confidence and independence.

Assessments

We provide occupational therapy assessments across areas such as handwriting, fine and gross motor skills, sensory processing, executive functioning, everyday functional skills and participation at school, study, work and in the community.

School, Study and Transition Support

We can support participation at school and further education, including handwriting, attention, organisation, regulation, sensory needs, transitions and independence.

Parent, Family and Individual Support

Support does not stop at the therapy room. We work alongside families, teenagers and young adults to develop practical strategies that can be used in everyday life.

Has a teacher, school or other professional suggested occupational therapy?

Occupational therapy is often first raised by a teacher, school, GP or another professional.

They may have noticed difficulties with things such as handwriting, attention, organisation, emotional regulation, sensory processing, independence, participation or coping with the demands of school and everyday life.

For teenagers and young adults, occupational therapy may also be suggested when there are challenges with study, routines, executive functioning, community access, work preparation or developing greater independence.

A recommendation to see an occupational therapist does not necessarily mean there is something wrong or that a diagnosis is needed.

It may simply mean that some extra support, understanding or practical strategies could make everyday life easier.

We work collaboratively with children, young people, families, schools and other supports to understand what is happening and identify practical next steps.
