Ashlyn Barclay

Hi, I’m Ashlyn and I’m currently in my fourth and final year of studying a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy at Australian Catholic University. I am absolutely loving it!

I started at Lifespan Therapies in June 2023 as an Allied Health Assistant where I have had the opportunity to empower and support many children in sessions of Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Speech Pathology and more recently Exercise Physiology.

Working across various disciplines has not only expanded my knowledge that I gained at university but also equipped me for my future through the ability to apply my skills on a day-to-day basis.

Occupational Therapy encompasses a wide range of practice areas, and while I have been exposed to several, I have developed a particular interest in working with children with physical disabilities.

When I am not in the clinic, you’ll find me studying, enjoying my weekends with family and friends, going on walks, going to the beach, or trying a new café. When I’m not out and about exploring, you will find me watching drama series while completing a paint-by-numbers or being the taste tester while my family bakes.
