This is a great video there is so much stigma around working in mental health as an occupational therapist. did any of your lecturers try to talk you out of mental health. When I started occupational therapy I wanted to do mental health. I had lecturers talk me out of working in mental health. Now as a new speech pathology student I can still work in mental health.

you sound so caring. You have a wonderful bedside manner never lose it.

interesting some members of the health care team underestimate how broad and complex speech pathology is. So I can relate to that.

this is good to know. As a nurse I did not know a great lot about occupational therapy. Not great. Started the course was not suited to it. But I am going to be a speech pathologist. I did however have one really brilliant lecturer. Her name is KP. She is fantastic. Three of us nurses loved her and wanted to be like her. My friend joked that I latched on to her because she was caring like a nurse. She is every nurses dream OT to work for and with. Can you do a video shadowing a nurse that would be brilliant. That way you can see why nurses get so protective of their patients.

Thanks for this video, it’s so helpful to hear from Aussie OTs! What would you say is the ratio of non-paper work to paper work on a typical day? Thank you so much, I’m looking to become an OT but there’s not a lot of this kind of info out there :)

Hello friends. hope you well. I wonder if you will share OT model to practice later? Like OPMA model to apply😊

as a queensland highschool student who wants to do OT, is UQ a good university for it? I heard the placements are really far away and I wouldn't be able to do that so I'm debating if I should just choose Griffith

thanks for the content really helps. keep going

I love your dream catcher

Thank you for your videos that reli allow me to prepare overseas placement to Aus!

Hi ! What is the difference between the job scope within OT mental health and Psychologists/Counsellor?? Does OT covers further into client's daily activities? Like you guys will run through these activities with them besides giving talk therapy??

Good chunk of information

thank you for this video!

I've missed your videos, I hope you are doing OK

As an OT student these videos are so lovely to watch!!

that's a relief to hear that you don't personally use the dynamic tripod grasp - I don't either! I'm a lateral tripod kinda gal, but also keen to get into paediatric OT so it will be interesting I'm sure 😊

AH! I have a phone interview tomorrow morning, this was super helpful! Though I won't lie... I really hope they won't ask a lot of clinical simulation-type questions.

Hi, I have recently been given offers to study as an OT at university. I was wondering if you could give me any advice as to how to find accommodation near my placement, will I have to pay for my my halls accommodation alongside my work placement accommodations and also, what is the average Prince for a student to pay on travel and accommodation whilst on placement? x

So insightful:) Thanks for sharing!

Hi i was just wondering if you're an OTA or an actual OT (competed masters)?

I am a trained primary school teacher and I have experienced many of the same emotions as you in my profession, including burnout. I am now in my fifties and have realised that I could never handle a full time teaching position. The most I can handle is relief teaching, so that is what I do.

Loooove your videos!!!!!

Hi Talia i really love your content .. Am an ot student in Kenya .. can i get intouch with you personally

This is so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make this video :)

Appreciate your honesty. About to start in paed OT and concerned already as children deserve the best and frankly as a new grad i don't see how i can offer that. I guess session plan with more senior ot's, if they have the time... Any thoughts?

I did notice Kmart recently brought out a sensory toy range recommended by occupational therapists which is awesome 😊 I just wanted to ask if you could make a video about the negative sides (if any) of OT/being an OT. I have recently completed a bachelors degree in psychology and I am currently trying to decide if I should complete a masters of OT or do something different. Thanks :)

Hi Thalia, hope you enjoy the new job and congrats :)

Can’t believe I was watching you before starting OT and now close to finishing 2nd year!!!!

This is a great video! My question is how does OT overlap with psychology? Especially when it comes to emotional regulation, motivation and organisation skills, self care, etc

This is so fascinating! Thank you for going so in-depth with everything

I'm considering studying OT next year at UQ so I'm so happy I found your channel!!

Hey thr. This is akash Im a 4th year Bachelors of occupational therapy student , i wanted to do post graduation in mental health can u recommend me any college in UK , and i have another question can someone after completing undergraduate degree of occupational therapy can apply for job in a health care setup ?? as an Ot , or masters is mandatory for applying for job ???

Hello, I am an Occupational Therapist. Your channel looks really good. Greetings from Istanbul, Turkey. 😊🌸

I’m currently in my 3rd year of studying OT at the University of Sydney and due to covid my face to face placements got cancelled which makes me so worried that I will struggle finding employment without experience but this video helped me realise that even after graduating you’re still seeing where you can go with your career. I want to say a big thanks for spreading more awareness on OT as it isn’t as well known <3 I hope I can do that with on my own channel as well :)

Congrats on your new journey!!! 🥳 you are such an inspiration to all especially aspiring OTs (me)! Sending love! 💓

Thank you, very helpful and interesting :)

Hi, after grad school, can l go straight to working with pediatrics OT?

Hey Thalia! Are you currently still working from home?? I am based in Canberra and the CYMHS has restarted slowly

Love that you're still doing your vlogs!

Hi Thalia, Your videos have been very helpful and in a way, eye opening to me with regards to what an OT actually does in different settings as my teachers have been very vague about this and never managed to get to the point. Their explanations have been a bit all over the place and haven't been as precise as yours haha (I'm an OT student from Germany so the way of teaching might differ). Aaaanyway, I really enjoy watching your videos and getting an insight into the Australian OT world :) Greetings from Germany:)
