Our Clients Have Said About Jo Mount & Associates...
“I was a young man in a thriving industry as a marine engineer when I had my accident which changed my life… I am now back on my boat, living in my own home … [my OT] has helped me with planning and organisation and to build the confidence to live independently…
I now volunteer and help others.”
"You taught us approaches and attitudes to rehab/OT which we have tried to consider and implement across all aspects of life, promoting [our daughter's] independence. You have sought activities e.g. the DJing course, which have subsequently led to great opportunities.
Jo has supported us in helping our daughter to reach her potential and she continues to amaze us."

Client's mother
“My occupational therapist was very gentle and calming, listening to me, understanding me, recognising my horses were the route to my recovery … I couldn’t make it to the kitchen, now I am driving
and looking after myself.”
