Parenting Support

Understanding your child's neurology

When a child's behaviour makes no sense, or when traditional parenting approaches don't work, understanding their neurology shows you what the behaviour is communicating.

In practice: Working through a recent challenging behaviour together, looking at what happened before, during, and after, to understand what your child was communicating.

Behaviour strategies

Strategies built for your specific child and situation. We figure out what's driving the behaviour and respond to that.

In practice: Adjusting expectations to match your child's developmental and sensory profile, then creating strategies that work with their brain.

Parent mental health

Parenting wears on your mental health too. Sessions include time for you as a person in your own right.

In practice: Checking in on how you're doing and identifying one thing that would help you recharge this week.

Parenting disagreements

When co-parents have fundamentally different approaches, it creates confusion for kids and conflict for adults. We help couples find a consistent, agreed direction.

In practice: Mapping out where co-parenting friction happens and agreeing on one specific area to align on, with a clear plan for how to handle disagreements.

NDIS as a family

We support NDIS families to understand the system, advocate for their child and manage the emotional weight of it.

In practice: Going through your child's plan together and listing what to raise at the next plan review.

Managing challenging behaviours

Meltdowns, aggression, self-harm, school refusal, we work on understanding what's driving these behaviours and responding in ways that reduce them.

In practice: Writing a response plan for one recurring behaviour, such as a meltdown or school refusal, covering what to do before, during and after.

What it costs

Parenting support sessions follow the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, with the amount depending on session type and whether it's a weekday, evening, or weekend. You can also access this privately, or through other schemes, if NDIS funding doesn't apply. Cost is always confirmed in writing before anything starts.

Am I eligible?

Parenting support usually sits under NDIS Capacity Building, Improved Relationships and Improved Daily Living, if the child's plan includes that funding. A support coordinator or plan manager can help you check what's available. Parents can also see us privately, without any NDIS funding involved.

Where we work

We're based in Thomastown and support parents across Greater Melbourne, the northern, western, and eastern suburbs. Sessions are also available online via telehealth, with some support extending into regional Victoria.

How to start

Reach out by phone, our contact form, or email. The first conversation is about what's happening for you as a parent, and you share as much as you want to. We'll match you with a practitioner who suits you, and your first session is usually booked within a few business days.
