Tanami Mueller

Occupational Therapist

Hi!

I’m an Occupational Therapist with a Bachelor and Honours degree in Occupational Therapy. I bring a unique perspective to my work, shaped by both my background and experience in the community sector.

I’ve seen firsthand the everyday challenges individuals and families face, and I’m passionate about finding practical, meaningful ways to help. I take a client and family-centred approach, knowing no two people are the same. I love getting to know each client, understanding what has and hasn’t worked, and working together to explore new possibilities. Thinking outside the box is a big part of what I do, and I enjoy finding creative, evidence-based strategies that fit into real life.

Most of my experience has been with children and adolescents, supporting those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (verbal and nonverbal), ADHD, Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), Down Syndrome, Functional Neurological Disorder, and psychosocial disabilities. My goal is to help clients build confidence and independence in daily life and I truly believe small wins can lead to big changes.

Collaboration is key and I value the input of everyone involved in a client’s care whether it's family, teachers, or other professionals because each person brings something valuable to the table. I understand that life can be unpredictable and challenging, which is why I approach my work with empathy, patience, and a deep commitment to supporting clients in a way that works for them.

Outside of work, I’m all about balance and living a full life. I spend as much time as I can outdoors camping, exploring the beach, or hanging out with my dog. Mornings are my favourite, I love starting the day with exercise and a dip in the ocean (or even a surf!) to set a positive tone.

Above all, I’m here to support, listen, and help my clients thrive in their everyday lives. If you're looking for an OT who truly cares and is ready to walk alongside you on this journey, I’d love to connect.

My approach is rooted in empathy, patience, and a strong dedication to helping my clients reach their full potential. I believe in the power of collaboration, valuing input from families, educators, and other professionals to ensure well-rounded support. Recognising that every individual has their own unique strengths and challenges, I am committed to thinking outside the box to develop tailored, practical solutions. Life can be unpredictable, and I aim to provide flexible, empowering support that truly makes a difference.
