Kristine Beacham is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Perth, WA. You can find her at G1, 379 Hay Street, Perth WA 6000.
Kristine’s work centres on helping people manage everyday life in a way that feels more doable. That might mean looking at daily living activities like getting dressed, washing, cooking, moving around at home, or getting through the day with less stress and less pain.
She also helps when movement and comfort are getting in the way. In many cases, OT can support people who are dealing with pain, stiffness, or reduced function. The aim is not just to “fix” one moment, but to find practical ways to keep doing what matters, even when things are harder than they used to be.
A big part of her approach is assessment. Kristine checks how someone is going now, what’s getting in the way, and what helps. From there, she works on a plan that fits the person and their routine. Treatment ideas can include therapeutic exercises and activities, plus pain management techniques that suit the situation.
Adaptive equipment can make a real difference too. At times, small changes—like the right kind of tools or home adjustments—can help someone move more safely and use less energy. Kristine focuses on recommendations for adaptive equipment that support independence, not dependence.
People often come in with goals that are simple in wording but important in real life, like being able to get ready for work, keep up with family tasks, or feel more confident with day-to-day tasks. Over time, the plan can be adjusted as needs change. That way, progress is steady and based on what’s working at the moment.
Kristine’s sessions are built around clear steps: understand the situation, set goals, try strategies, and then review how things go. The work stays grounded in everyday life, so it’s easier to follow through at home.
