Tamara Bushell is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Bunbury, in WA. She works from Unit 17, 103 Victoria Street, Bunbury WA 6230. Her focus is on helping people manage everyday life more smoothly, at home and in the community.
In occupational therapy, the big goal is simple: make daily tasks feel more doable. Tamara looks at how someone completes everyday activities like getting dressed, using the bathroom, cooking, and doing usual self-care and home routines. She pays attention to the small things that can make life harder, like hand control, grip strength, and fine motor skills.
If you’ve noticed challenges with daily living activities, Tamara can help you sort out what’s going on and what might help next. At times that can include advice and practical recommendations for adaptive equipment. The right tool can make a real difference, especially when tasks feel frustrating or take too long.
Tamara also supports people who want to improve hand and finger skills. This may involve guidance on fine motor skill work and ways to build confidence with daily actions. The aim is usually not just to “do exercises”, but to turn those skills into real-life progress.
Another part of her work is helping people set up personalised exercise programs. These are designed around what you can manage now, and what you’re aiming for in day-to-day life. Over time, the plan can be adjusted as things change, so it stays realistic and useful.
Tamara’s experience comes from everyday clinical work in occupational therapy. She understands that everyone’s situation is different, and the same problem can look very different from one person to the next. She takes a steady, practical approach, focusing on the things that matter most to daily living.
Tamara has training in occupational therapy, and she uses that knowledge to guide assessments and recommendations. She also keeps things grounded and easy to follow, so you know what to try and why.
If you’re dealing with challenges around daily activities, fine motor skills, or getting through routines more comfortably, Tamara can help you work out next steps. You can book an appointment in Bunbury and talk through what’s been difficult, and what a more workable plan could look like.
