NDIS Therapeutic Support
Working through the emotions that make us human
Therapy is a powerful way to work through what you’re experiencing. With a clinician, you can find a new perspective and take positive steps for the future. It can also be a good chance to chat about whatever is on your mind.
If your NDIS plan is funded for improved Daily Living, you may be able to work with one of our NDIS Therapeutic Supports Clinicians.
NDIS Therapeutic Support Clinicians can help you improve your mental and emotional wellbeing and to reach your NDIS goals. Working within a trauma-informed framework, our experienced clinicians use a range of different techniques to help you have a better day, today and tomorrow. Some of the things we can support you with are; learning techniques to help manage your emotions, developing your social and interpersonal skills and learning healthy coping strategies to manage anxiety and depression.
If you have an NDIS plan with Capacity Building included and would like mental health support email us at ndis@stride.com.au.

NDIS Therapeutic Support where you need it
Our clinicians are able to deliver therapy from our offices, out in the community in a safe and confidential location, or in your own home if suitable. We can also support you via Telehealth, where a clinician can work with you over the phone or via video conferencing.
How art can help in your recovery
Sometimes it can be hard to talk about and express how we’re feeling. Art Therapy uses different creative techniques to engage your body, senses, and subconscious to make it easier for you to share your thoughts and feelings. It places the focus on creating meaning, finding insight, gaining self-respect and problem solving, while reducing stress and anxiety. You don’t need any art experience to get started as our clinicians will support you through the process.
