How Counselling Can Support NDIS Participants with Psychosocial Disabilities.

If you're an NDIS participant seeking support, counselling can be a valuable resource to help you navigate these complexities.

Mollie Works With Self, Plan & Agency Managed NDIS participants aged 16 and over, particularly those navigating:

  • Psychosocial disability

  • Anxiety, depression, PTSD, complex trauma

  • ADHD and sensory sensitivities

  • Grief, loss & life transitions

  • Identity, burnout, emotional overwhelm

  • Chronic illness or functional neurological disorders

All sessions are strengths-based, person-centred, and evidence-informed. I integrate a neuro-friendly approach to mindfulness, yoga therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive & Behavioural Therapy, somatic practices, and more—tailored to your needs.

How Counselling Fits into Your NDIS Plan

Counselling is considered a capacity-building support under the NDIS. It focuses on enhancing your ability to manage daily challenges, develop coping strategies, and work towards personal goals. Through counselling, you can:

  • Develop Emotional Regulation Skills: Learn techniques to manage overwhelming emotions and reduce distress.

  • Improve Communication: Enhance your ability to express needs and set boundaries effectively.

  • Build Confidence: Work on self-esteem and self-worth to engage more fully in community life.

  • Navigate Life Transitions: Receive support during significant changes, such as starting a new job or moving homes.

Counselling sessions are tailored to your unique needs and can be adjusted over time as your goals evolve.

The Benefits of Trauma-Informed, Neuro-Affirming Counselling

A trauma-informed approach ensures that counselling sessions are conducted in a safe, respectful, and empowering environment. This means:

  • Safety First: Creating a space where you feel secure and respected.

  • Collaboration: Working together to set goals and determine the pace of sessions.

  • Empowerment: Focusing on your strengths and encouraging autonomy.

A neuro-affirming approach recognizes, values and celebrates neurodiversity, ensuring that counselling methods are strengths based, and adapted to suit your individual processing style and preferences.

What Does a Session Look Like?

Each session is tailored to your goals and needs. It may include:

  • Talk therapy

  • Mindfulness or meditation practices

  • Breathwork or grounding tools

  • Somatic exploration

  • Movement (yoga-based or seated)

Sessions are available in person at Medical on Robina or online across Australia.
