Nicabeth Paul

HPCSA registered Occupational Therapist

My journey with Occupational Therapy started in 2017 when I started my community service year at the rural Jan Kempdorp Community Healthcare Centre. I was offered the opportunity to continue working in the community and took this up till 2019. I was offered the chance to gain insight into the Medico-legal field and found an active role as a Functional Capacity Evaluator with certification in ErgoScience. This was later furthered by also gaining certification in the WorkWell standardised tests.

I started my journey with Sensory Integration in 2020 and joined a busy Paediatric Practice specializing in Sensory Integration in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town in 2021. I continued doing Medico-legal work and functional capacity evaluations during this time. I had found my calling and decided to focus on paediatrics full time by joining the Bishops Community in a part-time capacity in 2023. This has led me to start an independent practice in 2024 in both the Northern and Southern Suburbs.

My Approach

Within the Pediatric Community: To support the Pediatric community in all areas of occupational functioning to ultimately ensure the best therapeutic outcomes and the highest possible quality of life for the children and their caregivers.

Within the Adult Community: To assess and determine their highest level of functioning to ensure the best vocational and health outcomes within their daily lives.

What drives us

Our core belief is that all persons will inherently follow normal developmental epochs. Should this be disrupted, and normal development cannot take place, Occupational Therapy can support functioning and facilitate normal functioning.
