Morven McLelland

Occupational Therapist | DipCOT SROT / PG Cert / HCPC Registered**

About Me

I'm an Occupational Therapist with over thirty years of experience, and a deeply personal reason for doing this work. At 13, I was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis, and the small, everyday tasks most people never think twice about — getting dressed, holding a pen, getting on and off the school bus — became genuinely difficult for me. Nobody around me really understood what that meant, and I had no idea occupational therapists even existed until a chance hospital visit at 16 changed the course of my life entirely.

That experience shaped how I practise today: I always start by asking what's actually important to the person in front of me — not what I assume should matter.

Services I Offer

Occupational Therapy
Practical, person-centred OT support focused on activities of daily living, independence, and confidence — both in clinical settings and through my online Functional Independence library.

Equine Facilitated Therapy & Learning
Combining OT and coaching principles in the presence of horses to support emotional regulation, confidence-building, and personal growth — particularly valuable for clients who haven't responded to more traditional approaches.

Hippotherapy
Trained in Ulster, practising since 2022, using purposeful movement of the horse to support physical, sensory, and emotional goals.

Yin Yoga, Movement & Meditation
Gentle, restorative practices supporting body awareness, regulation, and calm — often complementing the OT and equine work I do.

Reiki
Supporting holistic wellbeing alongside physical and occupational therapy goals.

Functional Independence

My online library of downloadable worksheets and video demonstrations, designed to help people build strength, balance, and confidence in everyday activities — from safe bath transfers to dressing and personal care at their own pace, at home.
