How It Works

1. Book a Free Online Chat

Easily schedule a time for a free video call with one of our senior practitioners. We'll confirm your counselling needs, review your NDIS plan, and ensure the technology works smoothly.

2. Meet Your Counsellor

In your first session, you’ll meet your dedicated NDIS counsellor who will truly listen and understand your story. We’ll discuss your situation, feelings, and identify any underlying issues.

3. Ongoing Support and Goal Setting

We will help you set personal goals and start planning ways to achieve them. With empathy and without judgment, your counsellor will provide ongoing support, opportunities, solutions, and new ways of thinking.

"One of the biggest wins for me was learning to set achievable goals for each task I wanted to do on a daily. At first it was just limiting my social media consumption and doing 15 minutes of meditation day to day. Then gradually those goals got bigger, like going to the supermarket, or going back to my online classes."

FAQ

NDIS counselling is a therapeutic service delivered by accredited professionals, offering a safe space to explore your emotions, develop strategies, and overcome barriers. Learn more from our guide: Understanding NDIS counselling.

Yes! Many people working with Goal Coach access both. Coaching and counselling are two different therapy services. In fact, the two services are complementary and can work well together advancing your goals and reducing barriers you may be facing. They just do this in different ways.

Goal Coach works collaboratively with your team to make sure everyone is on the same page, including a person’s clinical teams, supporters, family, and other people you’d like to bring into your circle. Goal Coach has counsellors, coaches, and coordinators, but we also work extensively with other providers to bring your goals to life.

Goal Coach’s counsellors are qualified individuals who are registered with the Australian Counselling Association – the peak national Association for Counsellors. Registered counsellors maintain their membership to the association by completing 25 points of professional development per year and have at least 10 hours of professional supervision per year. Learn more about our team.

NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) participants can access counselling services if their NDIS plan includes ‘Improved Daily Living,’ which provides funds for accessing allied health professionals. This budget can be used for counselling related to short-term goals. Book a free online chat with one of our senior practitioners to discuss your needs and confirm your NDIS plan details. With these supports in your plan, you can utilize part or all of your Improved Daily Living budget for counselling services.

  • Depression: Persistent sadness, irritability, and lack of interest in activities.

  • Anxiety and Stress: Ongoing worry, difficulty managing anxious thoughts and stress management.

  • Low Self-Esteem: Negative self-view and excessive self-blame.

  • Concentration and Organization: Struggles with daily tasks due to mental health conditions.
