Regular reviews and feedback are incorporated to monitor progress and adapt support plans, ensuring continuous improvement and effectiveness. We help you navigate the NDIS system, ensure access to necessary services and support, and work collaboratively with other healthcare providers and support networks.

What to Expect from a Psychologist?

Your NDIS psychologist will focus on your individual journey and goals. They will recognise that it is you who is taking centre stage and will follow your lead. When working with a psychologist at Positive Wellbeing Psychology, we usually start by exploring what it is that you would like to achieve. Together we can create a plan that contains your goals and this will be the basis of our work together. These goals are a great way to measure progress but can always be adjusted along the way to suit your needs and circumstances should they change during our time together.

How Our NDIS Psychologists Support You

#2. Emotional Relief:

Our support aims to alleviate negative feelings commonly associated with disabilities or mental health conditions. ‘Sophie’, managing anxiety, found relief through mindfulness techniques and cognitive-behavioral strategies.
