Therapies
At Specialised Behavioural Support Services (SBS), our goal is to empower individuals to achieve their goals through tailored support and guidance. We work with individuals and their loved ones to create personalised plans and implement practical solutions in every part of the participant's life.
Psychosocial Recovery Coaching
We provide genuine support for individuals living with a diagnosed psychosocial disability brought on by a mental health condition. We work collaboratively with participants, their families, carers, and service providers to develop and implement an effective, personalised recovery plan.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a type of talk therapy that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful or damaging thought patterns. It is commonly used in instances of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem, and can be accessed if your funding is located under the Capacity Building supports category within the NDIS. CBT with SBS teaches coping skills, focusing on positive functional outcomes for participants.
Under the NDIS, CBT helps:
