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.
