Private occupational therapy in Sheffield
Independent assessment and practical rehabilitation for adults, families and professional referrers.
LifePath provides private occupational therapy in people’s homes and communities across Sheffield and the wider Yorkshire region. Support begins by understanding the everyday activities that matter, what is making them difficult, and the person’s goals.
Who LifePath supports
Adults and families can enquire directly. LifePath also accepts referrals from case managers, solicitors and other professionals where the requested work is within scope. Assessment and rehabilitation may be appropriate following injury, illness, neurological change or when everyday tasks, safety and independence have become more difficult.
What private occupational therapy can include
- Functional assessment of daily activities, physical and cognitive abilities, routines, risks and goals.
- Neurological and acquired brain injury rehabilitation in real-life settings.
- Practical cognitive strategies for attention, memory, planning and problem-solving.
- Upper limb rehabilitation, fatigue management and graded activity planning.
- Home equipment, minor adaptation recommendations and basic wheelchair advice.
- Clear reports, recommendations and agreed progress updates.

Home and community appointments
Visits may take place at home or in a relevant community setting so that abilities and barriers can be understood in context. Coverage includes Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, Leeds, Bradford and surrounding areas, subject to availability. Selected remote work is available across the UK where clinically appropriate.
How a referral works
Scope
LifePath clarifies the request, availability and expected output.
Quotation
Fees, travel, documents and timescales are set out before work begins.
Assessment
Once consent and any required authority are confirmed, the agreed work starts.
What affects the quotation?
Fees depend on the location, travel, documents to review, assessment or rehabilitation time, and the detail of reporting required. You will receive a quotation before detailed referral information is requested or chargeable work begins.
Frequently asked questions
Can I refer myself or a family member?
Yes. Individuals and families can contact LifePath directly. Consent and who should receive information will be agreed before assessment.
Do appointments have to be at home?
No. The most appropriate setting depends on the questions being explored and may include the home or community. Some advisory and review work can be remote.
How quickly can an appointment happen?
Availability varies. Enquiries are acknowledged within one working day where possible, then timing is discussed before you accept the quotation.
Is LifePath an emergency service?
No. If someone needs urgent medical help, use the appropriate NHS or emergency service.
Scope of service
LifePath is an independent occupational therapy practice, not a multidisciplinary team. It does not provide major adaptations, architectural or accommodation assessments, specialist wheelchair seating, or independent expert-witness services. Needs outside scope will be explained and onward referral or signposting recommended.
