What is Behaviour Support?

Behaviour Support aims to help individuals understand the causes of any challenging behaviours. Challenging behaviours refer to complex, unpredictable, repeated actions that significantly impact an individual’s life, relationships, development and safety. These behaviours can be the result of neurological or developmental conditions.

Behaviour Support practitioners help regulate these behaviours through collaborative, in-depth discourse with the client and their support networks. Our behaviour support programs are delivered by accredited practising counsellors or social workers that are passionate about enabling individuals to experience optimal quality-of-life.

PsychPhys™ provides an evidence based Behaviour Support Program that complies with NDIS PBS frameworks and mandated ethical standards of our governing bodies (AHPRA, ESSA, AASW) and the Disability Act (2006).  

PsychPhys™ understands and promotes the importance of regulating and monitoring restricted practices; and offers a comprehensive and ethical process in the development and implementation of Behavior Support Plans.

Meet the Team!

Seeing a Behaviour Support practitioner can be useful for the following reasons:

  • Behaviour Support practitioners can help clients understand the causes and triggers of challenging behaviours.
  • Behaviour Support practitioners can recommend environmental changes to limit the triggers of challenging behaviours and improve overall living conditions.
  • Behaviour Support practitioners can help develop plans that assist in the prevention and management of challenging behaviours.
  • Behaviour Support practitioners can offer counselling for multiple concerns. This includes support after traumatic experiences such as natural disasters, accidents, stressful life events, ill health, emotional crises, or family/relationship problems.

Engaging with a Behaviour Support practitioner is very different from engaging with a Psychologist. Behaviour Support is a shorter term approach to therapeutic intervention designed to help clients recognise how they think and feel about a situation in order to establish their own solutions/desired outcomes.

Counselling with a Psychologist is typically a longer term, intensive intervention linked to an individual’s psychological history/onset experiences.
