Katie Chown is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in North Perth, WA. You can find her at 1 Mabel Street, North Perth WA 6006. Katie’s work is all about helping people get back to daily life in a way that feels doable and safe.
In many cases, she helps clients when everyday tasks start to feel harder than they used to. That can include things like getting dressed, cooking, managing personal care, and moving around the home. Katie looks at how daily living skills are going and where the pinch points are, so the plan isn’t guesswork.
Her sessions often involve an assessment of daily living skills. From there, she works on customised home exercise programs. These aren’t just generic plans. They’re designed around what you’re actually trying to manage day to day, and what your body feels ready for right now.
At times, small changes make a big difference. Katie also helps with recommendations for adaptive equipment. This might be items that make tasks easier, reduce strain, or help you move with more confidence at home. The goal is to support independence without pushing too hard.
Katie also provides hand therapy for injury or conditions. Hand and wrist issues can affect everything, from opening jars to using tools and typing. She focuses on practical rehab steps that fit into real life, not just clinic time.
Because OT is about the whole person and their routine, Katie pays attention to the everyday details. Over time, that can help clients build back strength, better movement, and a clearer plan for what to do when things flare up.
Training-wise, Katie is qualified as an Occupational Therapist. She keeps her approach grounded in day-to-day clinical practice, with a focus on things that help you in the home, not just in the moment.
If you’re looking for support with daily living skills, home exercises, adaptive equipment, or hand therapy, Katie can help you sort out what matters most and take the next step in a steady way.
