Occupational therapists help people regain independence in the activities that matter most to them, combining clinical insight with creativity and genuine empathy. Your LinkedIn profile should reflect that thoughtful, person-centred approach, and your banner is where the impression starts. Choose imagery that feels warm and human yet professional — soft tones, an open composition, a sense of care and possibility — rather than a clinical or generic placeholder. Reviewers, employers, and clients look for skill paired with compassion, and a thoughtful header conveys both before they read your experience. Whether you work in rehabilitation, paediatrics, mental health, or community practice, a polished banner frames your approach. Every image on this page is sized to LinkedIn’s exact 1584×396px banner area, so it uploads cleanly and presents you as the caring, capable therapist clients rely on.

Choose warm, human imagery with a professional edge — soft tones and an open composition that suggest care and possibility. The balance you want is clinical skill with empathy, so avoid cold clinical stock or anything cluttered that flattens that warmth.
A warm banner sets the tone; your headline naming your specialty and setting, plus an About section describing your person-centred philosophy, shows employers and clients the thoughtful, creative care that defines good occupational therapy.
LinkedIn displays the banner at 1584×396 pixels with a 4:1 aspect ratio. Each image here is exported at that exact size as a quality 92 JPEG under 8MB, so it fills the header without cropping and uploads on the first attempt.
