Who we are
Hi, I'm Angelique, an Occupational Therapist based in Johannesburg.
I graduated with a BSc in Occupational Therapy from the University of the Witwatersrand in 2019 and am registered with the HPCSA.
My experience spans mental health, paediatrics, neurological rehabilitation, physical rehabilitation and vocational rehabilitation. I have developed a particular interest in helping individuals navigate the impact of illness, injury and psychological difficulties on their everyday functioning.
I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to identify practical strategies, build skills and restore participation in the activities and roles that matter to them.
My therapeutic approach is individualised, functional and grounded in the belief that meaningful progress extends beyond the therapy room and into everyday life.
I have additional training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), WorkWell vocational rehabilitation and hippotherapy, alongside experience in cognitive rehabilitation and conducting functional assessments.
We are here to help you reconnect with the things that matter.
Occupational therapy is about more than what we do. It is about how we live, function, connect and participate in the activities that give our lives meaning.
I provide individualised occupational therapy to support children, adolescents and adults experiencing physical, cognitive, emotional or functional challenges.
Whether you are navigating a mental health difficulty, recovering from an injury or neurological condition, experiencing changes in your ability to work or manage everyday activities, occupational therapy can help you develop practical skills and strategies to move forward.
Areas of practice include:
-
Mental health and emotional regulation
-
Child and adolescent occupational therapy
-
Cognitive rehabilitation
-
Neurological and physical rehabilitation
-
Vocational rehabilitation and return-to-work support
-
Functional and cognitive assessments
My approach is collaborative, compassionate and focused on helping each individual achieve meaningful improvements in their everyday life.
Let's work towards getting you back to living.
