NDIS Therapy: A Guide to What You Can Expect with Our Psychologists

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) stands as a crucial pillar of support for individuals navigating disabilities or mental health conditions.

At Positive Wellbeing Psychology, our team of experienced psychologists specializes in crafting meticulously tailored NDIS counselling services aimed at restoring balance, uplifting mood, enhancing self-esteem, boosting confidence in daily living skills, and empowering individuals.

The Essence of NDIS Mental Health Support

• Functional Assistance: NDIS mental health care offers personalised functional support designed for individuals managing disabilities or mental health concerns.
• Enhancing Daily Life: Our NDIS psychology services focus on improving daily living and community engagement through specialized counselling and personalized support.
• Personalized Care: NDIS support is carefully customised to suit the individual and their unique plan, ensuring the most suitable care options.

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

Our team of NDIS psychologists is dedicated to guiding individuals towards improved well-being and personal growth. To illustrate the type of support our psychologists provide, here are examples of hypothetical clients and the strategies employed:

• Goal Setting: We aid in identifying and working towards new goals, offering guidance and purpose. For instance, ‘Adam’, a young adult with ADHD, worked on time management and organizational skills to enhance his daily routines.
• 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.
• Fostering Independence: We focus on empowering individuals to navigate life independently with confidence. ‘Chris’, with an intellectual disability, gained independence skills through structured coaching and skill-building exercises.
• Managing Anxiety and Depression: Strategies to mitigate the impact of anxiety and depression, fostering mental wellness. ‘Olivia’, dealing with depression, benefitted from mood regulation techniques and tailored cognitive restructuring.
• Coping Techniques: Equipping individuals with tools to effectively cope with arising challenges. ‘Tom’, managing OCD tendencies, learned coping mechanisms and exposure-response prevention techniques to manage intrusive thoughts.
• Mental Health Planning: Meticulous planning and support to manage mental health issues alongside skilled psychologists. ‘Ella’, managing PTSD, worked on personalized trauma-focused therapy and stress management strategies.

At Positive Wellbeing Psychology, we use these examples to showcase the range of support strategies available. Your journey with us is characterised by individualised care tailored to your unique needs and goals. Our commitment is to support you in achieving improved functioning, personal growth, and a better quality of life.

What Support is Available for Family and Careers?

Our psychologists recognise the impact a disability can have on family members, partners, and support workers. That’s why we offer assistance, aiding you in providing the best possible support for your loved one during challenging times. Our goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can openly discuss concerns and find ways to make situations more manageable.

Support for carers/family members is available privately or through a GP referral under a Mental Health Care Plan for Medicare rebates.
