Let’s work together

For referrals for NDIS funded Specialist Behaviour Support, Counselling or Therapy Assessment - we rely simply on your contacting us directly to let us know your request for service.

We take NDIS referrals from NDIS Support Coordinators, parents, other health professionals, and direct from NDIS participants and families. If you are a NDIS participant you can contact us directly - no need to refer through anyone else.

We answer all inquires quickly usually within a day or two and we respond with a return email, call or text as you wish.

The process is to

  1. Assess if we can help, and if we have space on our books,

  2. Look at what funding you have,

  3. When we both feel we are the best service to assist your needs - we create a Service Agreement draft for you to sign,

  4. We start the service.

Generally we have no waiting lists. We consult Tues-Thurs 10 to 3, and are usually with clients or working for our clients. Chats and meetings are by appointment only.

Simply fill in the details below and we will be in touch.

Telehealth Therapy Services

  • Imagine having your Senior Counselling Psychotherapist and Behaviour Specialist at the ready, in your hands on your mobile or tablet or laptop computer, and with the convenience of therapy-from-home?

  • Our clients highly value this immediacy and they love to use their phones or devices to communicate with us. Telehealth can be video chats, phone calls, emails, sharing documents and resources.

  • Clients with complex disabilities or underage may not communicate directly - we work closely with parents to build skills and abilities to empower parents to be part of therapy, and with learned skills to sustain growth over many years.

  • Our clients gain so much from their personal work with us that many solve their problems and we work ourselves out of a job fairly quickly. Others stay with us for longer times and sometimes over years to learn skills and gain capacities.

  • We work with NDIS funded clients at this time. Clients access funding for Specialist Behaviour Support, Counselling Therapies, or Therapy Assessment - Other.

  • Our books are often open to new referrals. We understand that many waiting lists are longer than 6 months. We have provided support to people in rural and remote Australia, and to others in major cities who cannot access local therapists.

  • Are you seeking a compassionate, person-centred, and highly trained and experienced therapist or behaviour specialist?

  • Check in via the form on the home page to see about our availability and tell us a bit about your why you need our help. We are happy to return the message with a call or email.

Assessment

Your assessments help with funding reviews, access issues, setting up services and supports, and for many other needs.

NDIS Therapy Assessment - Other is the line item our clients use to access a range of functional capacity and clinical assessments.
