Psychology for NDIS Particpants
At My Appletree, we provide psychology services for NDIS participants who want support to better understand themselves, build skills, and navigate daily life with more confidence.
We work closely with participants, support workers, and families to ensure therapy is practical, meaningful, and aligned with NDIS goals. Our focus is not just on talking - it’s on helping participants build capacity, improve independence, and feel more in control of their lives.
Our sessions are tailored to each participant’s unique needs and goals. We combine evidence-based psychological approaches with practical strategies, helping participants manage everyday challenges, develop new skills, and grow confidence in their abilities.

We support:
-
NDIS participants (adolescents and adults)
