Personal Counselling through NDIS: Self-Managed and Plan-Managed

Brad can provide capacity-building psychology if you have a self-managed or plan-managed NDIS plan.

We understand how challenging it can be to stay positive every day.  And, when there are additional barriers, that can be even more challenging.  That’s why you need the right support to keep you on track.

Brad has collaborated with people of all types of abilities for over 25 years.  He loves helping people increase their mental capacity and ability to cope.

Brad can help you to live a more fulfilled and independent life.  He does this by building your mental skills and working toward the goals you set together.

For example, you may struggle to make and keep social connections. In this instance, Brad might share things like:

  • small and subtle physical behaviours
  • thought processes to improve your self-esteem, or
  • ways to approach a conversation

The key thing is… Brad aims to work out the next step you need to move you towards your goal.

If this is the type of forward-thinking support you are looking for, you can contact us directly on 0458360666.

In the event that you have experienced a workplace injury, Brad understands the Insurance/Comcare/Workcover process very well.  Plus, Brad understands that it’s not just the injury itself, but all the things you can no longer do because of that injury.  Whatismore, we know the WorkCover and Comcare process can add stress to your already vulnerable state.
