Just because some challenges are not visible,
does not mean you are invisible.
Welcome.
Hidden Connections was founded by Amy Gowland, an experienced Occupational Therapist, passionate about supporting people with complex and often invisible conditions. We are an Occupational Therapy practice, highlighting the importance of biopsychosocial care.
The focus is on respecting everybody’s unique experience in their own journey, recognising that in the presence of difficulties, there is a cultivation of resilience, strength and capabilities that are often uncovered along the way. Fostering safe, inclusive and empowering spaces with clients, Hidden Connections works to support clients to engage in a life that is meaningful and important to them, despite the challenges that they may be encountering along the way.
We offer both in-clinic and telehealth consultations.
