NDIS Psychologist Geelong
"We currently have no in-person capacity in this area, however if you fill in our enquiry form you'll be added to our telehealth waiting list."
If you are covered by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), you can start creating a plan which will allow you to connect with registered NDIS providers in your area, all of whom can give you their professional mental health advice and support. As Geelong residents, you can now get in touch with your local NDIA office, so they can find NDIS providers near them and find qualified NDIS Geelong psychologists and mental health care workers that can address their needs.
Because every NDIS participant’s disabilities and needs differ, they will require an individual plan tailored to suit their needs and help them achieve their goals, ultimately leading to a fuller, richer life. Positive Moods’ NDIS-approved Geelong psychologists can help NDIS Participants create plans for better health care, as well as give them the treatment they need to improve their mental health and behaviour patterns.
Positive Moods’ NDIS Geelong psychologists also collaborate with participants’ stakeholders, carers, and other support service providers for a clearer look at what treatment and plan they will need. By consulting the client and other relevant parties, Positive Moods’ registered mental health care professionals ensure that NDIS participants have a holistic plan that fully supports positive behaviour and helps them handle challenging situations.
As our psychologists in Geelong are fully qualified to handle a range of concerns, we are available to offer mental health support to NDIS participants coping with impaired capacities, sustained brain injuries, medical challenges, mental illnesses, and intellectual disabilities.
Apart from having sessions in a calm and relaxing office, Positive Moods offers the option of visiting clients at their homes and conducting sessions there. This eliminates the difficulty of scheduling and transportation—pressing concerns for those who have disabilities.
What Are the Benefits of Seeing an NDIS Psychologist Geelong?
Seeing a psychologist is helpful to everyone whether or not they are dealing with a mental illness. Psychologists are health professionals trained to understand each client and help them come up with solutions to adjust their behaviour and mindset. However, their collaboration is crucial to improved mental health. With help from Positive Moods’ psychologists, anyone can learn more about their problems and learn the skills necessary to achieve their life goals.
Although each client requires a different treatment for their personal needs, they will all benefit greatly from one on one, face to face sessions where they can develop self-awareness. Self-awareness is typically considered a vital initial step which gives a person a new perspective for their situation. This can greatly improve the way clients handle problems and teach them to solve them in a productive and healthy way.
A session with our psychologists at Positive Moods will enable clients to express themselves and be more open about how they think or feel in a confidential environment, free of judgement. This openness is an important building block for learning more about one’s self—whether it is related to personal and/or professional goals, needs, or how to handle challenges.
Seeing a NDIS Geelong psychologist is also crucial to get a proper diagnosis for any suspected mental illness. Positive Moods’ psychologists can give an unbiased, professional opinion if a client requires support for their mental health well-being. Therapies and behaviour support are also available for clients to avail.
Positive Moods works with other medical professionals to ensure that clients have all possible methods of treatment for any mental illness.
When to See a Psychologist?
Regardless of one’s age, seeing a psychologist can be a massive source of support for the mental health. Sessions can help anyone get a better picture of the way they think, react, and change certain things in their life to make it easier to achieve their goals.
Those with disabilities meet certain daily challenges in their lives which may need additional mental health support, making it crucial for them to have access to the help of a psychologist. Positive Moods’ NDIS psychologists are equipped to address these unique difficulties, allowing individuals to lead a life closer to normalcy.
Here are some considerations to help you decide if you need to see a Geelong psychologist:
Developing dependencies
Experiencing stress
Engaging in destructive or negative behaviour
Feeling withdrawn
Feeling anxious or burdened
Struggling with social interactions
Ways Positive Moods Can Support Your Mental Health
There are two ways that Positive Moods can offer support to NDIS Participants: through behaviour support, and therapeutic support.
Behaviour support targets negative or destructive behavioural patterns, examining how clients deal with real-life situations past and present, then offering alternative plans that can help them develop positive behaviours. Behaviour support can be done through training in behaviour management, special intervention for harmful behaviour, and making behaviour management plans.
Therapeutic support improves mental health by focusing on counselling sessions which examine a client’s needs and goals. This form of support includes individual counselling, group counselling and group therapy sessions, and collaboration with community engagement assistance.
Positive Moods aims to improve the way clients perceive themselves and others, thus leading a happier, more fulfilling life. Positive Moods can also provide participants and their carers with any of these forms of support as required, depending on the plan they have created for improved support for their disabilities.
Through consultation with our psychologists, you will be able to create a strong personal mental health system that will increase your independence and self-confidence.
