NDIS PSYCHOLOGY · GOSFORD, CENTRAL COAST
NDIS support shaped around a person’s needs, strengths, goals and everyday life.
Therapy, psychological support, functional capacity assessments and reporting for children, teens and adults.
We support both self-managed and plan-managed NDIS participants.
NDIS support, tailored to you.
No two people experience disability, neurodivergence or mental health in quite the same way.
We take the time to understand the whole person — their strengths, needs, nervous system, relationships, environment and the things that matter to them most.
Support is tailored to the individual & their NDIS goals, with a focus on building capacity, wellbeing & participation in everyday life.
How we can support you
Therapy & Psychological Support
Individualised support for emotional wellbeing, mental health, relationships, regulation, confidence and navigating everyday challenges.
Neurodiversity-Affirming Support
Strengths-based support for autistic and ADHD children, teens and adults that respects individual communication, sensory, emotional and processing differences.
Functional Capacity Assessments
Comprehensive assessment to better understand a person's functioning, support needs and participation across everyday environments.
Assessment & Reporting
Psychological, cognitive and developmental assessment, alongside progress reports and other documentation where appropriate.
Support for real life
Therapy isn't just about what happens in the therapy room.
Depending on your needs and goals, support may focus on:
Understanding and managing emotions
Anxiety, mood and emotional wellbeing
Building confidence and self-understanding
Developing coping and regulation strategies
Navigating relationships and social connection
Adjusting to change and life transitions
Building independence and everyday capacity
Understanding neurodivergence and individual support needs
Working towards meaningful personal goals
Your support should make sense for your life — not simply fit into a standard program.

Where appropriate and with your consent, our clinicians can collaborate with the people and professionals already supporting you.

Our assessment team provides a range of psychological assessments, including cognitive and functional capacity assessment.
The appropriate assessment will depend on the person's circumstances and the purpose of the assessment.
-
In some circumstances, yes. NDIS funding may be used for assessments that help understand your functional capacity, support needs and the impact of your disability on everyday life, where the assessment is an appropriate NDIS support and aligns with your plan.
NDIS funding is generally not intended to pay for assessment solely to obtain a diagnosis or establish initial eligibility for the NDIS. However, an assessment undertaken for an appropriate disability-support purpose may identify or clarify a diagnosis as part of the broader assessment process.
If you're unsure whether a particular assessment can be funded through your plan, talk with us before booking and check with your Plan Manager or NDIS contact. We can help clarify the purpose of the assessment and what may be appropriate for your circumstances.
-
Yes. With your consent, your clinician may collaborate with other people involved in your support where this is clinically appropriate and helpful.
-
Yes. Alongside appointments at our North Gosford clinic, telehealth may be available depending on the service and individual circumstances.
-
You can choose how much of your available NDIS funding you'd like to allocate to your support with us.
We'll provide a Service Agreement outlining the agreed supports and funding.
Our team will guide you through the paperwork and answer any questions along the way.
-
Neurodiversity-affirming support is an inclusive, non-judgemental approach that embraces the uniqueness and strengths of neurodivergence. This approach supports the fact that there is no one "right" way of thinking, learning, and behaving.
Differences are not viewed as deficit and the approach does not focus on “fixing impairments”. Instead, it provides people with the skills, tools and strategies to allow for improved quality of life.
