If you are an NDIS participant seeking specialised trauma counselling, you’ve come to the right place. At MEND Melbourne, I provide expert, trauma-informed therapy tailored to meet the unique needs of adults living with the long-term impacts of trauma, including sexual abuse, complex PTSD, and other forms of childhood or adult trauma. My goal is to help you build resilience, safety, and wellbeing through personalised counselling aligned with your NDIS plan.
Understanding Trauma and the NDIS
Many NDIS participants experience the lasting effects of trauma, which can affect mental health, emotional regulation, relationships, and daily functioning. Complex trauma often requires specialised, evidence-based counselling that addresses not just symptoms but the root causes of distress.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) recognises the importance of trauma counselling and funds therapeutic supports to improve quality of life, increase independence, and promote recovery.
How Trauma Counselling Supports NDIS Participants
My trauma counselling for NDIS participants is:
-
Individualised: Tailored to your specific trauma history, goals, and NDIS plan
-
Trauma-informed: Using safe, respectful approaches based on the Blue Knot Foundation’s guidelines and trauma recovery models
-
Collaborative: Working with you and your NDIS team to ensure therapy fits your needs and supports your broader goals
-
Accessible: Offering online and face-to-face sessions across Victoria to suit your preferences and circumstances
Therapy focuses on helping you:
-
Manage symptoms of PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, and depression
-
Develop emotional regulation and grounding skills
-
Build healthy relationships and self-compassion
-
Increase confidence and independence in daily life
