Therapist Profile
Hello, my name is Sarah Hatton. I returned to Scotland in 2004 after practicing as an Occupational Therapist for 10 years as well as leading a Mental Health Assertive Outreach Team. I set up my company Thriving Minds Ltd for two reasons. Firstly living in rural Scotland, I noticed that mental health services were limited and lacked continuity, finding an Occupational Therapist proved very difficult. Secondly with the emphasis on rehabilitation in Scotland and the current climate of increased insurance and private health claims, I felt my company could make a difference.
I have worked mainly in adult mental health services in hospital, forensic and community settings. I have specialist knowledge in assessment and rehabilitation of clients and families with short term and chronic illness such as psychosis, schizophrenia, anxiety and depression. Many clients also experience physical and addictive issues that reflect the holistic approach offered. I have a particular interest in practicing cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques. I am skilled in case management, report writing and training.
Sarah is also a qualified life coach and mentor.
Sarah is currently Scottish representative for COTSS-IP 'Occupational Therapists in Independent Practice'. www.otip.co.uk
Thriving Minds Ltd is based in central Scotland, but undertakes work throughout the UK.
