NDIS Psychosocial Recovery Coaching Cairns
NDIS Psychosocial Recovery Coaching in Cairns
Living with a psychosocial disability can be tough. It can feel like you’re carrying everything on your own, and it’s easy to feel lost or disconnected. But you don’t have to do it alone.
I provide psychosocial recovery coaching in Cairns to give you real, down-to-earth support. I help you feel more independent, build stronger connections, and focus on the goals that actually matter to you not just what’s written on paper.
I don’t just give you a list of services and walk away. I walk alongside you, help you make sense of your NDIS plan, explore your options, and support you in a way that’s practical and feels right for your life.
What I Do as Your NDIS Psychosocial Recovery Coach
I help you:
Understand your NDIS plan and use it in ways that suit your life
Connect with mental health services and community supports
Build your capacity and resilience over time
Work through challenges and setbacks in a realistic way
Develop strategies that are grounded, not fluffy
Increase your social and economic participation if that’s your goal
Take more control of your life and decisions
I stay consistent. I show up. And I keep it practical.
Who I Work With
I work with people who:
Have a psychosocial disability
Are NDIS participants
Want someone who listens without judgment and helps them take the next step
Some people I work with are dealing with complex challenges—housing issues, trauma, dual diagnoses. Others just need support keeping things steady and moving forward.
Whatever your situation, I tailor the support around you.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is psychosocial recovery coaching?
A: Psychosocial recovery coaching is a type of NDIS support designed to help people with psychosocial disability (mental health-related disability) build independence, connect with their community, and work towards goals that matter to them. It’s not just about coordinating services it’s about real, ongoing support to help you grow confidence and skills in your own life.
Q: How is recovery coaching different from support coordination?
A: While both roles involve helping you understand and use your NDIS plan, recovery coaching goes further. As your recovery coach, I focus on your mental health and wellbeing, help you build capacity over time, and support you to create meaningful change. It’s more personal and relationship-focused, rather than just organising services.
Q: Who can access psychosocial recovery coaching?
A: If you have funding for psychosocial recovery coaching in your NDIS plan and a primary psychosocial disability, you can access this support. If you’re not sure whether you have this funding or how it works, I can help you check and understand your options.
Q: Can you help me prepare for plan reviews?
A: Yes. A big part of my role is helping you prepare for plan reviews so you feel confident and clear. We can go through what’s been working, what hasn’t, and make sure your goals and supports reflect what you really need going forward.
