Lachlan Jenkins
Occupational Therapist
Lachlan is an Occupational Therapist focused on helping people build independence, confidence, and practical skills that make a meaningful difference in everyday life.
His approach is person-centred and collaborative, with a strong emphasis on building rapport, understanding what matters to each participant, and developing practical solutions around their individual goals, strengths, and circumstances.
Why I Chose Occupational Therapy
Lachlan became an Occupational Therapist because he wanted to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
He is particularly motivated by helping people overcome barriers, recognise their strengths, build confidence, and achieve goals that previously may have felt out of reach.
For Lachlan, good occupational therapy should ultimately help people have greater independence, choice, and control in their everyday lives while supporting them to participate in the activities that are meaningful to them.
A Practical and Person-Centred Approach
-
Lachlan takes time to understand the person beyond their diagnosis or functional difficulties.
Their goals, interests, priorities, strengths, and everyday circumstances help shape what therapy should look like.
-
Lachlan believes strong therapeutic relationships are an important foundation for meaningful intervention.
He aims to create an environment where participants feel comfortable, heard, respected, and confident expressing what they want from therapy.
-
Therapy should translate into changes that make everyday life easier, safer, or more independent.
Lachlan particularly enjoys identifying environmental barriers and developing practical solutions through capacity building, Assistive Technology, and home modifications.
-
Lachlan does not view successful occupational therapy as simply completing sessions or reports.
The goal is meaningful and lasting improvement in functional capacity, independence, participation, and quality of life.
Clinical Practice
Lachlan works across a broad range of NDIS occupational therapy needs, combining functional assessment with practical intervention and capacity building.
He has a particular interest in Assistive Technology and home modifications, where changes to equipment or the environment can produce tangible improvements in a participant’s safety, independence, and everyday functioning.
His areas of practice include:
Functional Capacity Assessments
Capacity-building occupational therapy
Assistive Technology Assessments
Home and Living Assessments
Home modifications
Functional skill development
Psychosocial and cognitive support needs
Assessment and clinical report writing
Participant, family, and stakeholder collaboration
Lachlan also has a particular interest in working with people to develop greater independence and participation, including younger people building the skills required for adult life.
What You Can Expect When Working With Lachlan
Lachlan wants participants and families to feel comfortable, supported, and confident throughout the therapy process.
He values open communication, honesty, and collaboration, and wants participants to feel heard and actively involved in decisions about their therapy.
Participants can expect practical, individualised intervention focused on building skills, independence, and meaningful improvements in everyday life.
Build confidence. Develop practical skills. Create meaningful change in everyday life.
