NDIS Counselling in Melbourne and Australia-Wide

Empowering You to Live Your Life Your Way

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides financial support for disabled individuals*, their families, and carers, aiming to enhance quality of life and increase independence. As an unregistered NDIS provider, I work with Self-Managed and Plan-Managed participants to offer counselling and coaching tailored to your unique goals and needs.

*You'll notice I use identity-first language (e.g., "disabled person") instead of person-first language. Here’s a quick explanation of why. If you prefer a different approach, just let me know!

Here’s what we’ll do together

“Can I Use My NDIS Funding for Counselling?”

Yes! If you have the item ‘Improved Daily Living’ in your NDIS plan, you can use your funding for counselling or coaching.

This category allows NDIS participants to access allied health services, including counselling, to improve emotional and practical capacity. Together, we’ll set goals, work toward them, and periodically review your progress to ensure you're getting the most out of your support.

Important Notes

  • I work with Self-Managed and Plan-Managed participants only.

  • Unfortunately, ADHD as a primary diagnosis is rarely accepted for NDIS funding at this time.

You’re not alone, and you’re not broken.

Let’s work together to design the life that you can thrive in.
