Our team works with you, your family, and support network to understand your experiences and develop practical, personalised approaches that align with your goals and values. We will:

• Get to know you: We’ll start by learning all about you – what you enjoy, what you find challenging, and how you respond in different situations. This involves chatting with you, observing behaviours, and gathering insights from those who know you well.
• Set clear goals together: Next, we’ll sit down with you, your family, and support team to decide on some clear, meaningful goals. These goals will guide us and help track progress along the way.
• Create a personalised support plan: We’ll develop positive and practical strategies that are tailored just for you. Rather than focusing on “fixing” behaviours, we’ll work on building new skills and encouraging helpful habits that make life easier and more enjoyable.
• Plan your support: We’ll outline exactly how and when your support will happen—what strategies we’ll use, who will be involved, and how everyone can play a part. It’s all about working together and making sure your voice is heard.
• Equip your team: We’ll provide training and guidance to your family, carers, and professionals so they feel confident and supported in putting the plan into action.
• Check in and tweak things as needed: We’ll keep an eye on how things are going and make adjustments when needed. Life changes, and your plan should change with it to stay helpful and relevant.
• Create a positive environment: Finally, we’ll help build a supportive and encouraging space where you feel understood, respected, and included – because everyone deserves to thrive.

• Comprehensive assessment: Your psychologist will take the time to understand your concerns, mental health history, and personal goals.
