Positive Behaviour Support
Understanding behaviour. Building supports that work.
Person-centred PBS for neurodivergent children, families, and adults across the Murraylands.
Murraylands, SA · Telehealth by request
Welcome
Understanding, collaborative, and meaningful support
My personal and professional experiences have given me a unique understanding of the joys, challenges, and complexities that many neurodivergent people and families navigate every day.
As both a practitioner and parent, I understand that life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Families are often balancing appointments, school challenges, emotional regulation, advocacy, service systems, daily responsibilities, and the ongoing task of supporting a child or young person whose needs may not always be understood by others.
I work alongside children, teenagers, adults, and families to improve quality of life through understanding, collaboration, and meaningful support.
My role is not to judge, blame, or tell families what they are doing wrong. My role is to listen, understand, and work collaboratively with the person and the people around them to identify what is contributing to challenges and what can be changed to improve wellbeing and quality of life.
Who I work with
Children, families, and adults
Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, or a family member, PBS is about understanding the whole person and the environments they live, learn, work, and connect within.
Children & young people
Neurodivergent children and young people navigating school, routines, regulation, and growing independence.
Young adults
Young adults navigating transition, independence, and the shift into adult support systems.
Families
Families experiencing complex circumstances who need collaborative, non-judgemental support.
Adults with disability
People living with disability, particularly psychosocial disability, trauma, and significant life challenges.
Your PBS journey
A collaborative process
Positive Behaviour Support is a collaborative process. Below is an overview of what you can expect when working with me.
Getting to Know You
During our first few visits, I will spend time getting to know the person, their family, their support team and the people who are important in their life.
Understanding Your Needs
Over the following months, I will gather information about your daily life and experiences.
Developing Your Behaviour Support Plan
Within the first month or two, an Interim Behaviour Support Plan will be developed. This plan provides immediate strategies to support wellbeing and safety while further information is gathered.
Putting the Plan into Practice
A Behaviour Support Plan is only effective when it is used. My role extends beyond writing reports.
Ongoing Review and Support
People grow, circumstances change, and support needs evolve. Your Behaviour Support Plan will be reviewed regularly to ensure it continues to reflect your goals, strengths, and current needs.
My approach
Understanding people, not changing them
Three fundamental human needs that frequently emerge in my work
Connection
Feeling understood and safe
Feeling understood, valued, and safe in relationships is foundational to positive change.
Competence
Building capability
Supporting people to feel capable, successful, and able to navigate everyday life.
Control
Meaningful choice
Creating opportunities for meaningful choice, autonomy, and influence over one's own life.
Working together
Working Together
Together, we can build supports that work with you, not against you, while improving quality of life and creating opportunities for growth, connection, and wellbeing.
