Our perspective

About Future You®

A different way of thinking about the person behind the paperwork.

Future You®: Your Life, Your Way is an independent practice created by an Occupational Therapist, alongside specialist NHS Continuing Healthcare guidance from an experienced Mental Health Nurse.

Why Future You® exists

We know the people we love. But do we really know what matters most to them? We can know someone's stories and still never have asked what makes them feel safe, which routines matter most or what they would want someone unfamiliar to understand.

The problem isn't that people don't care. It's that we rarely take the time to capture the person behind the paperwork. Records are often very good at documenting needs, risks and care requirements — but the person behind that information can still be difficult to see.

What happens when someone else has to speak for you? Future You® creates space to explore that question today. You don't need to be unwell to want to be understood.

Do it before you need it.

Why an Occupational Therapist?

Occupational Therapy looks beyond diagnosis — to the person, their daily occupations, routines, relationships, environment, identity and what gives their life meaning. Future You® brings that perspective to a conversation often missing from traditional documentation: what makes this person's life their own?

When care decisions arrive

For families already facing NHS Continuing Healthcare in England or Wales, our CHC & Complex Care Support offers clear, independent guidance through assessments, reviews and appeals.

Independent by design

We are not commissioned by any NHS body, local authority or care provider. Our only duty is to the person and family in front of us, which means our guidance is honest about what is likely, not just what is possible.

Experienced practitioners. Complementary perspectives.

Namrata · Occupational Therapist

A whole-life perspective.

Qualified for eight years as of October 2026, Namrata has worked across mental and physical health services in city and rural settings. Her experience spans statutory, private and third-sector organisations, and includes establishing Occupational Therapy services.

She brings experience of everyday participation, meaningful activity, routines and the environments that shape how people live.

Dean · Mental Health Nurse

Wellbeing and care experience.

Dean has been qualified for approximately the same length of time and has worked within NHS services throughout his qualified career, across city and rural settings.

His Mental Health Nurse experience adds understanding of emotional wellbeing, communication and health services, alongside specialist Continuing Healthcare guidance.

Together, we bring Occupational Therapy and Mental Health Nurse perspectives to understanding the person and their care. We agree each practitioner's involvement with you, work within our professional scope and explain what we can — and cannot — provide. Trust is built through listening, thoughtful professional reasoning and a clear, reviewed account of your wishes.
