🧡What makes us different?🧡

There are a lot of psychology and PBS services out there.
So what’s different about how we work?
We don’t focus on “fixing” people.
We focus on making things work better around them.

That means:
• working in homes, schools and community, not just clinics
• keeping things practical and relevant to real life
• being consistent (not constantly starting over with new staff)
• taking a person-centred, neuroaffirming approach
• having a team with lived experience who genuinely get it

We started in the Wheatbelt, but we also support people across Perth.

Country values, city support, that’s not just a tagline, it’s how we actually work.

We get asked this a lot.

“Is PBS basically the same as ABA?”

Short answer — no!

PBS draws from behavioural science, but what we do in practice looks very different to traditional ABA.
We’re not trying to make people compliant or “fix” behaviour.
We’re trying to understand what’s going on, and then make things work better for that person.

We also know that a lot of people have had really negative experiences with ABA.

Our approach is person-centred, respectful, and focused on helping people feel safe and understood and not controlled.

🧡Affordable support🧡

We’ve had a lot of enquiries about Dylan’s low cost sessions, so a quick update.
Dylan will be staying on with us once he’s finished placement, so these sessions will continue for the rest of the year.

He’s a Provisional Psychologist completing his Master’s, working under close supervision from a registered psychologist.

Sessions are $70 until July, which makes this a great option if cost has been a barrier to getting started.
This might suit you if:
• you don’t have a Mental Health Care Plan
• you’re looking for something more affordable

He’s based in Northam and appointments are filling quickly.
If you’ve been thinking about starting support, this is a good place to start.

🧡Why Behaviour Happens🧡

We talk a lot about behaviour, but not always about why it’s happening.

What often gets labelled as “challenging behaviour” is usually a sign that something isn’t working for that person, in that moment.
It might be:

• they can’t communicate what they need
• they’re overwhelmed
• something has changed unexpectedly
• the expectations are too much right now
• they don’t have enough control or choice

When you look at it this way, behaviour starts to make a lot more sense.

On 18 March, a few of our team packed their lunches and made the trip down to Fremantle to join Humdrum for their “Pancake Banter” session. Delicious pancakes. No regrets.

A big thank you to the Humdrum team for such a warm and welcoming space, we’ll admit, there was some office envy.

It was a great opportunity to put faces to names and strengthen relationships. That kind of connection really matters when we’re working together to support shared clients.

Humdrum provides a platform that connects families with support workers, offering greater choice and flexibility while still maintaining oversight and safeguards. It’s a great option for families who want more control over how their supports are structured, without losing that layer of accountability.

🧡For many people, the hardest part is simply arriving, and finding a new clinic can feel daunting, especially before a first appointment.

This short walk-through shows how you can find us and what arriving at our Northam clinic looks like, from parking to settling into the room, so you know exactly what to expect before you arrive.

Small details matter, and familiarity can make a big difference.

She values connection and community, believing that to be human is to connect. Her approach to therapy is reflexive and responsive, recognising that what someone needs can change from day to day. She works in a holistic and person-centred way, drawing on a range of therapeutic tools to ensure support is tailored, flexible, and meaningful.

Katie places strong emphasis on safety, trust, and collaboration in the therapy space, and incorporates approaches such as CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, psychoeducation, and motivational interviewing.

🧡
A Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) is one way people can access Medicare rebates for psychology sessions, but it’s often misunderstood.

A GP prepares the plan after discussing mental health concerns and determining whether it’s appropriate. With a MHCP, clients may be eligible for 10 rebated sessions each calendar year, often broken down into a 6 session and 4 session referral.

While a Mental Health Care Plan can help reduce out-of-pocket costs, it doesn’t determine the direction or pace of therapy. Sessions remain client-led, confidential, and focused on individual needs, goals, and circumstances.

It’s also important to know that a MHCP is not required to access psychology services. Some people choose to attend privately, depending on their preferences, funding, or situation.
Understanding your options can make starting support feel clearer and less overwhelming.
