My passion has always been in supporting people to achieve their goals and navigate life's challenges. As I embark on my journey as a Psychosocial Recovery Coach, I am excited to provide flexible, recovery-focused support to NDIS participants across Australia. With my online support, you can count on a reliable and proactive partner who adds real value to your team, helping you build your well-being and flourish on your own terms.

​

My Collaborative Approach

My approach is person-centred, goal-oriented, and always future-focused. For me, the most powerful progress comes from working together with openness and trust. Our collaboration helps you achieve your goals, discover new strengths and move confidently into positive daily changes. I'll be checking in on your progress, offering ongoing assistance within your plan - as we build towards independent living.
 

Here's how we can work together, integrating principles from Solution-Focused, Acceptance & Commitment (ACT), and Person-Centred practices:

• Clarify & Set Goals: Identify and define your personal NDIS aspirations, establishing clear, actionable targets with a detailed plan.

• Strategise for Change: Break down emotional obstacles and direct your energy into achievable daily activities that contribute to your long-term goals.

• Develop Daily Living Skills: Empower you with practical strategies for increased independence and positive outcomes, including organising your week, scheduling appointments, and managing your own roster.

• Team Leadership for Your Support Team: Beyond our one-on-one sessions, I can assist with the crucial administrative tasks that keep your life running smoothly. This includes helping you hire and train your support staff, managing your roster, and providing ongoing guidance to your team through debriefing and supervision to ensure consistent, high-quality care.

• Navigate NDIS & Barriers: Collaborate closely with you and your NDIS team to identify the right steps, specifically by working through self-created blocks and barriers. This also includes assisting you with writing reports that document your achievements and provide evidence for your next plan review.

• Build Resilience: Strengthen your ability to navigate challenges and maintain well-being.

• Collaborating with Your NDIS Team: I'll work directly with your other providers,or allied health professionals to ensure your support is cohesive and all working towards your NDIS goals. This ensures everyone on your team is on the same page, allowing you to focus on your recovery.

 

Accessible & Flexible

My sessions are also offered conveniently online via Google Meet, Zoom or phone if you prefer. I've found online sessions to be highly effective and more accessible for participants, allowing you to engage from the comfort of your own home, which can significantly reduce anxiety.
 

As an approved NDIS support, my fees for Psychosocial Recovery Coaching are charged through your NDIS funding under Capacity Building - Daily Living. Support workers are welcome to sit in on sessions if you feel this would be beneficial.

 

My Foundations & Experience  

My coaching style comes from my counselling and mental health background, teamed with my own years of hands-on field experience as a support worker. These experiences, along with my own lived experience growing up as a young carer for my Bipolar Mother, profoundly shaped my understanding of complex systems and the real challenges individuals and families face. This personal insight fueled a deep desire to learn more about wellness and mental health, ultimately leading me to a career rooted in strategic coaching and capacity building, driven by a passion to help others achieve their wellness goals and navigate their own journeys.
