Hi, I am Kavitha Arivirkarasan, a passionate occupational therapist and . I’ve spent the last 20 years empowering individuals living with disabilities to lead fulfilling lives. My caring, inclusive approach is based on my path of accepting my neuro-differences as a neurodiverse person. Through research, self-development courses, and self-discovery, I’ve accepted my individuality and turned it into a strength. I’ve created a welcoming environment for my clients to feel appreciated, understood, and equipped to realise their full potential.
My educational expertise has helped me to make lives better for individuals. With a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (2005), India, and a Master of Science in Psychotherapy and Counseling, India, I have honed my therapeutic approach to be inclusive, compassionate, and tailored to each individual’s needs. I specialise in designing evidence-based, individualised therapy programs. My professional journey spans across different regions of thr world and age groups, equipping me with diverse expertise.
My Indian heritage and rootedness have enabled me to empathise with individuals and accept their differences and identify their strengths. I combine my traditional values with contemporary practices. I enjoy exploring diverse cultures, which inspires me to create inclusive spaces for individuals. I also practice mindfulness, yoga and love to indulge in expressive arts for personal growth, which eventually helps me take better care of my participants.
I attribute my success and journey to my family’s everlasting support, believing in me, and driving me to succeed. It is a blessing to be neurodiverse, and it has motivated me to support others and recognise their potentials.
I’m excited to work with families and individuals to bring about significant change and develop more resilient, welcoming communities.
