Season 2 Episode 9: Finding Your Clinical Voice: Boundaries, Confidence, and Doing Things Differently with J
Update: 2025-04-20
Description
Summary:
In this episode of OT Coaching Confidential, I sit down with J, an early-career paediatric occupational therapist who is working hard to bridge the gap between clinical training and real-world therapy. J shares what it’s like to feel well-trained but still unsure — navigating multiple models, complex family dynamics, and unclear expectations in NDIS-funded therapy.
Together, we explore:
- The challenge of integrating approaches like DIR/Floortime, CO-OP, and SOS Therapy contracting and how to explain your “why” to families
- Setting boundaries early in your career
- How supervision can help build clarity and confidence
- Developing your clinical voice when things feel uncertain
- This episode is an honest reflection for any OT working in paediatrics who’s still piecing it all together — especially in those early years where growth often happens outside the textbooks.
We have various workshops coming up that address some of the practice areas discussed
