Hello! Welcome to Liz Wylde Occupational Therapy!

Welcome

I am an Occupational Therapist with over 17 years of experience supporting neurodivergent adults and adults with learning disabilities. My services are designed for people aged 18 and over, delivered on a one-to-one basis, with the option of training and guidance for families, carers, educators, and professionals.

Support Tailored to You

If you have a diagnosis of autism, ADHD, or both, I can help you understand and process what that means for your life. Many people feel a mixture of relief and uncertainty after diagnosis, and my role is to help you make sense of your experiences and to acknowledge your strengths. You do not need to have a diagnosis to benefit from my support — together we can explore your needs, set meaningful goals, and create strategies that allow you to grow and move forward.

The Benefits of Occupational Therapy

Working with me offers a range of benefits:

Clarity and understanding — make sense of your diagnosis and your experiences prior to diagnosis without judgement.

Goal setting — identify what matters most to you and create achievable, step-by-step plans.

Improved daily living — develop strategies for routines, organisation, and sensory regulation.

Better wellbeing — reduce stress, increase confidence, and improve participation in everyday activities.

Family and professional support — access guidance and training so the people around you can better understand and meet your needs.

Empowerment — learn how to advocate for yourself, communicate your needs, and make informed choices about your future.

My Approach

I am passionate about helping people to improve their health, wellbeing, and independence. I will always work with you in a way that respects your preferred communication style and personal goals. This approach ensures the support is meaningful, practical, and sustainable for your everyday life.

Assessments and Signposting

If you are considering a diagnostic assessment, I understand how valuable and validating that can be. I am able to carry out autism assessments, and where ADHD is concerned, I can connect you with trusted clinicians for reliable evaluations.

Support for Fatigue and Burnout

As someone with lived experience of ME/CFS, I am particularly committed to supporting adults with fatigue or burnout. Together we can explore pacing strategies, energy management, and ways to maintain balance in your daily life; helping you reduce overwhelm and improve resilience.

Professional Standards You Can Trust

I hold Enhanced DBS Certification and Professional Indemnity Insurance, and I am registered with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC), the Royal College of Occupational Therapy (RCOT), and the Information Commissioner’s Office. You can feel confident knowing that your support is delivered safely, ethically, and professionally.

Moving Forward Together

If you are looking for an Occupational Therapist specialising in autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, or fatigue, I would be delighted to work with you. My aim is to help you feel understood, empowered, and supported so that you can live a healthier, balanced, and fulfilling life.
