Miss Bridget M Waterhouse is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Belmont, VIC. She works from 79 to 83 High Street, Belmont VIC 3216.
Occupational therapy is about helping people do the things they need and want to do each day. That can be things like dressing, showering, cooking, using tools at home, or getting back into work routines. Bridget focuses on how daily living activities fit into real life, not just on the diagnosis.
In many cases, people come in when everyday tasks feel harder than they used to. This might happen after an injury, an illness, or when someone is finding it tough to manage physical changes. Over time, she helps work out what is getting in the way and what can be adjusted to make life more manageable again.
A big part of her work is assessment of daily living activities. She looks at how hands, arms, and movement affect the things people do most days. If strength or control is an issue, she can include therapeutic exercises aimed at hand and arm strength and better use of the body for daily tasks.
Bridget also helps with adaptive equipment. At times, small changes can make a big difference. She can recommend and guide training for practical devices, so people can build safer routines and keep more independence at home.
Cognitive retraining activities are another key area. Some people need help when attention, memory, or problem-solving feels a bit out of reach. She supports people with simple, structured approaches that fit into their day, so skills can carry over into real situations.
Her approach is calm and practical. She pays attention to what matters to each person, and she keeps the plan realistic. Sometimes progress is quick, and sometimes it takes longer. Either way, Bridget helps people understand the next steps and stay on track.

Miss Waterhouse is an OT for adults and children, depending on the needs of the referral, and she works with people who want support to get back to everyday living. If you’re unsure whether occupational therapy is the right fit, it’s still worth asking for an assessment to see what can be changed.
