OT Coaching Confidential – Real conversations. Real growth. Real therapists. Real world.
OT Coaching Confidential is a mentoring podcast for occupational therapists and allied health professionals who want honest insight, genuine reflection, and the reassurance that they are not navigating this work alone. Each episode is a real, unscripted one-on-one mentoring session between host Alyce Svensk and an anonymous guest. An honest conversation about where they are right now, what they are working through, and what it looks and feels like to grow as a therapist and professional.
Topics span the full breadth of practice life: clinical complexity, building confidence, managing a caseload, stepping into leadership, navigating private practice, career transitions, and everything in between.
You will find:
Real mentoring conversations grounded in everyday practice
Thoughtful questions and gentle reframes that shift perspective
Practical strategies you can take straight back into your week
Space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with why you do this work
Whether you are just starting out, deep in the complexity of clinical work, or building something of your own – there is something here for you.
Hosted by Alyce Svensk, paediatric occupational therapist, coach, and founder of The OT Coach Australia.
