Mental health occupational therapy for women.

Discovering you’re autistic and/or have ADHD can coincide with perimenopause. You may be trying to make sense of both while feeling anxious, overwhelmed and unsure why things you previously managed have become so difficult. Work, parenting, relationships and caring for yourself can demand more than you have to give. Kimmy supports women to understand their changing needs, respond to themselves with compassion and make practical changes that ease daily demands and support their mental health.

Find support that meets your needs

  • Occupational therapy for neurodivergent women

    OT that is neuroaffirming, trauma-informed and anti-oppressive, facilitating a safe therapeutic space for autistic women and women with ADHD to understand themselves, recover from autistic burnout and create a way of life that honours the unique way their brain works.

  • Occupational therapy for women in perimenopause

    A holistic, lifestyle-based approach to supporting women during perimenopause. Therapeutic support to help you understand how hormonal changes are affecting you and how to cultivate a lifestyle that meets your changing needs.

  • Professional supervision for OTs

    Benefit from a therapeutic approach to supervision, where your wellbeing is prioritised alongside your clinical practice. Kimmy helps you stay aligned with the Australian OT competency standards while supporting your growth as a clinician.

Benefit from a highly skilled practitioner

Kimmy Lane founded Be You OT in early 2020 to provide evidence-informed approaches that are kind, gentle and transformative. Kimmy has been a practitioner for over 20 years and has prioritised extensive ongoing learning during this time.

As an AuDHD woman, Kimmy brings lived experience to her clinical work — understanding firsthand what it means to cultivate a nourishing and fulfilling life as a late-identified neurodivergent person.

Kimmy is particularly passionate about clinically supporting the mental health of neurodivergent women and women who are experiencing perimenopause.

Be You OT is an LGBTQIA+ aware and affirming practice.

 

This is the right space for you if:

You've recently been identified (or self-identified) as autistic and/or with ADHD, and you're looking for support to understand yourself with the new awareness of your neurotype. You’re in autistic burnout and you’re looking for support to recover. You want to work with your brain, rather than against it.

You’ve experienced trauma and want support with how it affects your daily life, relationships and mental health.

Anxiety or chronic stress make it difficult to switch off, sleep, make decisions or do the things you want to do.

You’re experiencing changes during perimenopause — in your mood, sleep, concentration, relationships or capacity to cope — and you want help managing the impacts of these changes.
