Our Approach to Therapy

We take a collaborative therapy approach, where families play an active role in reaching therapy goals.

Collaborative

Our therapists will spend time connecting with other therapists working with the client and people in their everyday life – be they at school, kinder or social programs. Collaboration gives our therapists insight into the unique context of the client and their family so that we can plan solutions that suit your needs best.

Through collaboration, we can share strategies and resources with everyone who interacts with the client. If the people around them are upskilled to actively support their development, they are more likely to succeed and be able to integrate skills learnt in therapy into their everyday life.

People receiving care spend 37x as much time with family as they do with therapists.

Family-centred

We know that the most influential people in a person’s development are the ones they spend the most time with – their families! That’s why we work with families to upskill them with strategies and tools they can use within everyday environments and activities to support development, all throughout the week. Families are involved in all stages of therapy delivery, from goal-setting and planning through to sessions and reviews.

Your authentic self

We stand for the power of authenticity. 
This means enabling our clients to live their best lives by supporting them to be their authentic selves. Our aim is not to “fix” people or fit them into a norm or, but to help them achieve goals that are important to them and their families by addressing barriers. We seek to support clients and families to feel confident in their own unique set of strengths, abilities and areas for support.

Allied Health Assistants

We also work closely with Allied Health Assistants (AHAs), who can work alongside families and children to help address challenges. Our AHAs can spend longer with a family than a therapist, and can give the client extra support to embed new skills they are learning within their everyday environment.
