Meet Georgia: Supporting Independence Through Practical Solutions and Positive Energy

A Passion for Problem Solving and Supporting Others

Georgia was drawn to Occupational Therapy through a natural passion for problem solving and supporting others to overcome challenges. She was inspired by the opportunity to work in a role where practical solutions can create meaningful change in everyday life.

For Georgia, Occupational Therapy is about helping people move closer to their goals, whether that’s building independence at school, navigating daily routines at home, or accessing the right supports to participate fully in their community.

She finds great satisfaction in seeing progress over time and reflecting on the small but powerful steps that lead to greater independence.

Supporting Children and Adults Across Environments

Georgia has developed clinical interests across paediatrics, adults, assistive technology (AT), and home modifications, allowing her to support clients at different life stages and across a wide range of needs.

She has a particular strength in sensory integration within paediatric settings, helping children build the skills they need to participate confidently in both school and home environments. Her approach focuses on practical, achievable strategies that support independence across daily routines.

Working in a community-based role allows Georgia to see the full picture of each client’s environment and tailor therapy to what matters most in real life—not just within the therapy session.

A Person-Centred and Strengths-Based Approach

Georgia describes her clinical approach as person-centred and strengths-based, grounded in the belief that every individual has unique capabilities that can be built upon.

She integrates several evidence-informed approaches into her work, including:

• Neuro-affirming practice
• Strengths-based therapy
• Sensory integration strategies
• Collaborative, goal-focused planning

Georgia is known for bringing positive energy into her sessions while maintaining a calm and thoughtful presence. She focuses on creating an environment where clients feel supported, understood, and motivated to work toward meaningful goals.

Building Strong Connections With Clients and Families

A key part of Georgia’s therapy style is collaboration. She actively involves parents, caregivers, teachers, and other stakeholders to ensure that strategies are consistent across all environments.

This collaborative approach helps create sustainable change—supporting progress not just during therapy sessions, but throughout everyday life.

Georgia takes the time to understand each client’s interests, strengths, and motivations so therapy feels relevant, personalised, and meaningful.

Growing Within a Supportive Team

Georgia was motivated to join Forbes Care because of the opportunity to work in a community-based role that supports clients across their natural environments. She also values being part of a team that prioritises collaboration, professional growth, and shared learning.

Looking ahead, Georgia is excited to continue developing her clinical skills while contributing to a supportive and encouraging team culture.

Her focus remains on helping clients build independence, confidence, and participation in the activities that matter most to them.
