Private occupational therapy in Glasgow

At the Autism and ADHD Diagnostic Centre in Glasgow, our occupational therapists help individuals of all ages manage the physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges that affect everyday life.

We focus on what matters most to you, helping you gain independence, improve daily functioning, and build confidence through meaningful activities. Whether at home, school, work, or in the community, our goal is to make life more manageable and fulfilling.

What is Occupational Therapy?

Occupational therapy helps you do the things you need, want, or are expected to do, whether that is getting dressed, focusing at work, preparing meals, or managing relationships. It is a science-based, regulated health profession that supports people to overcome barriers and live well.

Therapists look beyond medical conditions or diagnoses. We focus on your goals, your environment, and your ability to engage with everyday life.

Occupational Therapy for children

Children receive playful, supportive therapy to build confidence and develop core skills. We work on motor development, sensory processing, daily routines, and school participation in a way that feels safe and manageable.

Our Approach

We take a person-centred, strengths-based approach. Every person is different—even those with the same diagnosis. That is why we work with you (and where needed, your family, school, or workplace) to create practical strategies that fit your needs. Our therapists understand:

The impact of sensory differences

The role of executive function in daily life

How trauma and co-occurring conditions affect participation

How to support self-identity, disclosure, and confidence

Our occupational therapy services in Glasgow offer a clear understanding of your daily challenges, creating a pathway for practical support and meaningful improvements in everyday life.
