Our Services
Psychological Therapy
-
Psychotherapy can improve an individual's well-being and mental health, to resolve or lessen troublesome behaviors, beliefs, compulsions, thoughts, or emotions, and improve relationships and social skills.
Experienced clinicians work with clients and their families using a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to suit the individual’s abilities and preferences.
Some examples may include Mindfulness and Stress Reduction Techniques, Psychoeducation, solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).The first phase of therapy will consist of initial assessment. This assessment will be tailored specifically to your needs and will include a semi-structured interview.
Assessment may also include, as appropriate, psychometric testing, behavioral observations, and contact with your other medical and therapy practitioners.
Following the assessment, the clinician will discuss and explain findings with you and/or your caregiver and collaboratively design an individualized therapy program.
Therapy is carried out to an agreed number of sessions and the program is evaluated continuously so that it may be modified as and if required.

Behaviour Support
-
The ultimate goal of the program is to manage, reduce and where possible, eliminate behaviours that are inhibiting optimal quality of life and creating distress for you, your family, and/or the community.
Aurora Allied Health maintains a Positive Behavioural Framework in the treatment of behaviours of concern.The program consists of a structured Functional Behavioural Analysis to determine the motivators and reasons for the existence of the behaviour/s.
This is then followed by the creation of an escalation profile and individualized behaviour support plan in consultation with you and your support network.The clinician will then support behavioural interventions over an agreed time period and evaluate and modify the program as and if required.
The central focus is to provide you and/or your caregivers with a framework and increased understanding of how to promote adaptive behaviours in the future which will provide positive enhancements to your life and well-being.
Ideally, this framework should be able to be applied with minimal adaptation to future behaviors that might inhibit your optimal well-being.The program accepts referrals for people who are six years and older with and without disability and who live independently, in the family home or in supported accommodation.
The program is time-limited, and the length of service provided to families depends on the complexity of your personal situation.
