Working with NDIS

National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and My Aged Care clients are a specialty and I have a lot of experience working with clients presenting with various disability-related challenges that can cause their spaces to become dysfunctional or unhelpful. My counselling service, Illyarrie Counselling, aims to help them achieve their goals around their relationship with their belongings through counselling therapy, exploring the causes of their problems and finding ways to change behaviours and mindset to enact change in their environment.

I also work with clients who have counselling needs around living with a disability and the challenges that can present.

My counselling methods are primarily person-centred, solutions-focused therapy. I also utilise CBT, ACT and Motivational Interviewing depending on the situation, the client’s needs and their goals.

I have experience working with people who have autism, BPD, bi-polar disorder, anxiety, depression, ADHD, hoarding disorder, Tourette Syndrome, PTSD, complex trauma, dementia, brain injuries, vision impairment, hearing impairment, post-polio, physical disability and physical differences.

For children with NDIS plans, I work with both the child and/or the parent, depending on the family’s needs. 

I can work with self-managed or plan-managed participants of NDIS, and am always happy to cooperate with health professionals and support services to ensure the client has all of their needs met and their goals achieved.
