30+ Years of Experience
NDIS & Medicare Available
Registered Psychologists & Occupational Therapists
Multidisciplinary team
Our occupational therapists work alongside psychologists and speech pathologists, so support for ADHD reflects the full picture of daily life.
Neuro-affirming approach
We focus on what actually works for you, not what should work in theory. Every session honours your attention profile and lived experience.
Real-world, practical insights
Therapy at Moi Clinic is built around real routines. You leave with strategies for home, school, work, and everyday life that hold up outside the clinic room.
Occupational Therapy for ADHD
Occupational therapy focused on function, not just symptoms
ADHD affects far more than attention. Organisation, time management, emotional regulation, and follow-through can all be genuinely difficult, even for people who are motivated and capable.
Our occupational therapists focus on function rather than labels, building practical systems and strategies that work with your attention profile, not against it. Where support needs cross into other areas, our team works alongside psychologists and speech pathologists to make sure nothing is missed.
What we help
Support for ADHD across daily routines, school, and work
ADHD can affect almost every part of a routine. If any of the following are getting in the way, our team can help.
Time management and planning
Underestimating how long tasks take, missing deadlines, and losing track of time. We build planning systems that fit real routines, not idealised ones.
Task initiation and follow-through
Knowing what needs doing but struggling to start, or losing momentum halfway through. We help break tasks down into steps that are genuinely easy to begin.
Organisation at home and school
Cluttered spaces, lost belongings, and paperwork that piles up. We build simple systems and storage solutions that are realistic to maintain.
Emotional regulation
Frustration or overwhelm that escalates quickly and takes longer than expected to settle. We build tools for managing big feelings in the moment.
Sensory regulation
Sensitivity to noise, clutter, or busy environments, or a strong need for movement and stimulation. We help identify triggers and build regulation into daily routines.
Fine motor skills and handwriting
Handwriting, coordination, and other fine motor tasks that take more effort than they should. We build dexterity and ease through targeted, practical activities.
Who we assess
ADHD occupational therapy support tailored to every stage of life
Children
We help children with ADHD develop the organisation, motor, and regulation skills that support daily life, working closely with families and schools every step of the way.
Adolescents
Secondary school assumes a level of independent organisation many teenagers with ADHD haven’t yet built. Our therapists help close that gap with practical, sustainable systems.
Adults
Our therapists support adults with ADHD to manage time, tasks, and routines in ways that hold up under real work and life demands, not just in theory.
Our Approach
Systems that work with your brain, not against it
At Moi Clinic, we don’t ask clients to try harder at things that were never going to stick. We build external systems, routines, and environmental adjustments that reduce reliance on memory and willpower.
Support is collaborative and genuinely adaptable. As routines and demands change, we revisit strategies together, so what we build keeps working rather than falling apart after a few weeks.

Why Moi Clinic?
A safe space for mental health support
At Moi Clinic, our ADHD occupational therapists bring a thorough, practical, and genuinely understanding approach to every client with ADHD we work with. We know that willpower alone was never going to solve organisation, time management, or follow-through.
Our multidisciplinary model means clients benefit from the combined expertise of occupational therapists, psychologists, and speech pathologists working together, so support reflects the full picture of daily life, not just one part of it.
How it works
What to expect from ADHD occupational therapy at Moi Clinic
Our process is designed to feel safe, unrushed, and deeply personal. We walk beside you from your first enquiry to ongoing support, every step of the way.
01
Assessment & Relationship Building
We start by understanding your routines, environments, and where things tend to break down, whether that’s at home, school, or work.
02
Ongoing Therapy Sessions
We design and trial strategies together, from planning tools to environmental changes, adjusting as we learn what fits your life.
03
Continued Support & Growth
As routines and demands shift, we revisit and refine strategies together, so support stays genuinely useful rather than becoming another thing to maintain.
