Ms Catriona D Anderson is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Box Hill, VIC. She works from Suite 7 28 Arnold Street, Box Hill VIC 3128, helping people build the skills and confidence they need for everyday life.
Occupational therapy is about real-life things. That might mean getting back to daily routines at home, finding ways to manage tasks when the body feels different, or learning smarter ways to do activities without using up all your energy. In many cases, Ms Anderson supports clients as they adjust to change after an injury or when living with ongoing health challenges.
Her work often includes assessment of daily living skills. This can cover how someone goes about things like getting ready, cooking, washing, moving around safely, and handling small everyday tasks. She looks at what’s working, what feels hard, and what might be improved to make the day easier and safer.
Ms Anderson also gives clear recommendations for adaptive equipment. That could mean simple tools to support hands and wrists, ideas for setup at home, or practical changes that reduce strain. The goal is usually not to “fix everything” at once, but to make daily tasks more manageable and reduce frustration.
For clients with hand and arm weakness or stiffness, she provides therapeutic exercises for hand and arm strength. These exercises are focused and practical. They’re meant to help build up the ability to grip, reach, and use the hands for everyday work, hobbies, and comfort.
Energy conservation training is another part of her approach. Some days can feel tiring even when you’re doing simple tasks. At times, Ms Anderson helps clients learn pacing, planning, and ways to break activities into smaller steps. It’s about doing things at a realistic pace so you can get through the day without feeling wiped out.
Ms Anderson’s focus stays on what matters day to day. She helps people practise strategies, understand why they work, and set small goals that fit into their routine. Over time, this can make daily life feel less stressful and more under control.
