Sarah Meharg - Neurodivergent Occupational Therapist

I’m Sarah. I’m a neurodivergent occupational therapist with over 25 years of experience supporting people in mental health and neurodivergent services. I have my own occupational therapy practice, MoodLifter.

I provide OT either online, in a clinic in Coventry or at your home in Solihull.

You won’t have to guess what I’m thinking: I am honest and transparent in my thinking, and I will always work with you, not at you. We’ll make decisions together and go at your pace.

Occupational therapy helps you understand the link between your routines (or lack of routines), motivation, energy levels, environment, sensory needs, and the activities you want or need to do. It can support you to build strategies around self-care, work, rest, social connections, and managing demands.

I aim to create a space where you feel safe enough to explore what it’s like not to mask in a therapy setting. I understand that some things that seem simple to others can be very hard. That’s okay — and you don’t have to explain or justify it. We’ll use your values and strengths to support the things that matter to you.

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), the Interoception Curriculum (to support emotional and body awareness), and a neuroaffirmative approach. I am also a personal trainer so can incorporate advice on using exercise to regulate or explore barriers to being active.
Sessions are bespoke to you so can be adapted to suit your communication and processing needs.

I can provide DSA funded none Medical Helper Mental health mentoring or access to work strategy coaching.
I also am a director of a not for profit organisation, Neuroflect CIC which can provide consultation, training or advice to your workplace or education setting.
