Isabella Favotto-Ji

About

Hi, I’m Isabella, an Australian Occupational Therapist and the Founder of Benefact Occupational Therapy. I work with adults navigating psychosocial, neurodevelopmental, and other invisible disabilities. This may include ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, chronic pain, fatigue, FND, Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), hypermobility, POTS, and other complex or overlapping conditions. My approach is warm, collaborative, neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, and LGBTQIA+ inclusive. As a lived-experience practitioner, I understand that disability is not always visible, easily explained, or neatly captured by a single diagnosis. I am particularly interested in supporting people whose needs sit across multiple areas, or who may have felt misunderstood, overlooked, or expected to fit into standard approaches that did not work for them. I take time to understand the whole picture: what matters to you, what is getting in the way, how your health and environment interact, and what might make daily life more manageable. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I look at how you are managing everyday activities, relationships, work or study, sensory demands, energy, routines, decision-making, and access to support. Together, we can develop practical and individualised strategies, supports, routines, environmental changes, and assistive technology that work with your goals, strengths, preferences, capacity, and lived experience. I also place a strong emphasis on clear communication, collaborative decision-making, and helping clients understand and navigate complex systems such as the NDIS. I provide occupational therapy via telehealth across Australia, with limited in-person appointments available in Greater Sydney where clinically appropriate. Services include functional capacity assessments, NDIS access and review assessments, sensory processing assessments, assistive technology support, and ongoing occupational therapy.
