Andrea Moncur Mental Health Occupational Therapist

Andrea Moncur Mental Health Occupational Therapist I offer emotional, sensory and mental health support to young people ages 10-25 both in person and online. Who will I work with.

My name is Andrea and I am a Specialist Occupational Therapist. I have worked as an Occupational Therapist for the last 22 years in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) both in Edinburgh and Sydney. I am now starting my own private business in supporting children and young people who are experiencing low mood, anxiety, and low self esteem due to a variety of reasons. My core belief in working with young people is the “doing” and how I can best support the young person to problem solve through their own routines, motivations, environment and skills to be who they want to be. I believe that building strong relationships underpins all the therapeutic work I do and allows the young person to make changes at their own pace. Many young people especially since lock down have become increasingly anxious and have struggled with a lack of routine and structure. Other young people have found attending school more difficult especially those who have underlying neurodevelopmental challenges. I can assess and recommend strategies to assist with sensory challenges and emotional regulation. I can carry out sensory assesments which can provide personalised strategies to manage self-care and sensory challenges at school, home and in the community. I can also help the young person link in with community activities and sign post to longer-term community supports. I can receive referrals for young people from age 12-21. Areas that I can support with include developing a routine and structure, help increase independent living skills, linking in with community activities, managing emotions, organisational skills, and transitions especially within education. I am also able to advocate on the young persons behalf and attend meetings with education if needed. I prefer to meet the young person face to face either at home, at school or in a community building, but can also offer on line sessions via zoom. I am happy to discuss any questions so please feel free to contact me at Motivateandrea@gmail.com

Do you need support following an adult autism diagnosis in Scotland?

We are delighted that our National Late Diagnosis Group (LDG) programme has been awarded funding through The Scottish Government’s Adult Autism Support Fund.

The sessions take place online across the whole of Scotland, and there are in-person options available for people living in Edinburgh & Lothian, Scottish Borders, Perth & Kinross and Highland.
Development of the programme has been led by autistic staff and shaped by its participants.

Our neuro-affirming programme covers a range of topics across seven sessions, and provides opportunities for participants to connect with others who share similar experiences.

If you would like more information on the late diagnosis group programme in Scotland, complete our online form, or us at email ldg@aiscotland.org.uk
