Counselling (Improved Daily Living)
Therapeutic supports under the NDIS are designed to help you navigate challenging times when you may struggle to establish coping strategies, build resilience, or manage distress. I am here to work alongside you to enhance your capacity and resilience, enabling you to engage in the activities you enjoy in your daily life.
This could include:
Community Participation: Finding ways to connect with your community and engage in social activities.
Identifying Hobbies: Exploring interests such as cooking, gardening, or other hobbies that bring you joy.
Spending Time with Friends: Fostering connections and enjoying meaningful time with loved ones.
The type of assessments I conduct will be tailored to your specific needs and requirements as outlined in your current NDIS plan. Together, we can develop strategies and supports that empower you to thrive. I look forward to supporting you through these challenging times and helping you build a fulfilling life!
Theraputic Support & Capacity building (Improved Daily Living)
How do Social Workers support participants?
Social Workers play an integral role in supporting participants through a variety of evidence-based therapies aimed at improving or maintaining social functioning. They employ disability-specific interventions to build essential skills in areas such as emotional resilience, relationships, and social and economic participation. Social Workers also assist participants in navigating services and systems, building individual capacity, and addressing practical barriers through problem-solving and goal-setting.
By improving the understanding and skills of a participant's carers and formal and informal support networks, Social Workers help to minimise barriers within the service system. They work within multidisciplinary teams to ensure that all services are integrated into a unified approach, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the support.
