My Experience as a Highly Specialist Neuro OT
Hi, I'm Zeba — an HCPC Registered Highly Specialist Stroke and Neurological Occupational Therapist with 10+ years of experience in the NHS. I've worked across hospitals, community rehabilitation and specialist centres, including the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, UCLH — the UK's leading teaching hospital specialising in neurology and neurosurgery.
What I Saw in the NHS
Too often, recovery ended at discharge. People were sent home managing symptoms, fatigue and the mental load — with no clear follow-up or ongoing support. High-functioning adults in demanding careers — banking, journalism, education, law — were particularly overlooked. Their silent symptoms ignored simply because they appeared to be coping.
My Personal Experience
I recognised that gap because I lived it too. My experience with Long COVID left me fighting to maintain my career whilst navigating invisible symptoms without adequate support. That experience deepened my passion to create therapy that is personal, practical and empowering.
Why I Founded NexGen
That's why I started NexGen Neuro Therapy. I work holistically — mind, body, cognition and emotion — bringing together my training in neurological rehabilitation, cognitive rehab, mental health, vocational rehabilitation and disability support. Combined with coaching, advocacy and mentoring, this approach helps you manage complexity, rebuild clarity, restore energy and keep pursuing your goals in both work and life.
Who I Support
I work with high-performing adults living with stroke, brain injury, MS, Parkinson's, FND, spinal injury, Long COVID and other neurological conditions — as well as those navigating symptoms without a formal diagnosis. My goal is simple: to help you not just recover, but thrive beyond diagnosis — confident, active and living the life you want.
Professional Advocacy & Mentoring
Alongside clinical practice, Zeba provides mentoring for qualified OTs and AHP professionals, and acts as a professional advocate — drawing on Masters level study in Professional Advocacy at the University of East Anglia.
The Identity Reset Coaching
For high-performing professionals living with a neurological condition who want to do more than just cope. Combining clinical OT expertise with powerful coaching to help you reclaim your energy, confidence and identity.
