Firstly, we look at your overall health, not just the symptoms. After assessing your needs, we develop a unique plan with you to help you achieve your goals.
We communicate with you via skype, email or in-person at a time that suits you. Appointments are with a registered occupational therapist, or clinical psychologist.
Sleep: Getting a good sleep is a dream for most shiftworkers. This is due to sleeping when you would normally be awake and sleeping disorders. We can help you design a sleep schedule to fit around your work and personal life. We specialise in sleeping disorders including insomnia, light or unrefreshing sleep and body clock challenges. Adequate sleep is vital for your physical health, emotional wellbeing and everyday function.
Positive mood and clear thinking: Shiftwork can be challenging when working long and irregular hours; especially night shift that can lead to fatigue, irritability, impatience and the inability to think clearly. We can train you to effectively use the nine switches of human alertness, manage mood, and harness your cognitive process to improve your attention, memory, learning and higher reasoning.
Keep physically active: Regular exercise is often a low priority when working shifts due to fatigue and lack of time. Joining a local sports team may be out of the question due to training and game commitments that may conflict with your roster. If you are looking to increase and improve your physical fitness; we will assess what sport or activity is possible given your current shift pattern and personal preferences.
