One simple way to refer.
Email Debbie Langston, our Practice Manager, and she'll arrange a call with one of our senior clinicians.
Clinical rigour held by a team, not an individual.
Most private mental health OT in the UK is delivered by sole practitioners. Purpose People is built differently — a team of HCPC-registered Occupational Therapists supported by RCOT-registered OTAs, with weekly clinical supervision, peer case review and a shared clinical model. When you refer to us, you refer to that whole infrastructure.
Every case discussed
Senior-clinician-led peer supervision so complex presentations are held by the team, not the individual OT.
HCPC & RCOT registration
Every OT is HCPC registered. Every OTA is RCOT registered. ICO registered as a practice. Insurance, DBS and DPO in place.
Collaborators, not silos
Strong working relationships with psychiatry, psychology, GPs, schools and case managers. We frequently take a lead coordination role on complex cases.
Held by the values we’ve built the practice around: Compassion. Collaboration. Integrity.
Email Debbie.
Email referrals@purposepeopleltd.com with your name, your patient's first name, and a sentence on what you're hoping for. Debbie will reply with the referral pack and book a short call with one of our senior clinicians so we can plan the right pathway together.

Why we don't take insurance.
Whilst occupational therapy is registered by the HCPC, there are very few companies offering mental health occupational therapy in the private sector and therefore we have found it is rarely recognised by insurance companies.
In some circumstances with certain insurance companies, you can pay Purpose People Ltd and claim back, however we are unable to be involved in this process and as such offer no guarantee of any repayment from an insurance company.
If you'd like a copy of this position to send to a patient or to your own admin team, just ask and we'll send it over.
