The Support Coordinator’s Guide to Calder Psychology

Navigating the NDIS ecosystem can be complex, and as a Support Coordinator, your ultimate goal is to find allied health partners who genuinely care about your clients' wellbeing. At Calder Psychology, we partner with NDIS service providers and support coordinators across Perth to help individuals achieve meaningful, measurable growth.

We offer tailored NDIS therapy services that prioritise personal growth, independence, and long-term mental health.

Our Neurodiversity-Affirming Approach

We recognise that every individual is different, so no two therapy plans are the same. Our work is guided by a best-practice, client-centred approach that honours each person’s unique lived experience.

1. Supporting Neurodivergent Individuals to Thrive

   
   

Calder Psychology has particular expertise in supporting neurodivergent children, adolescents, and adults. Our approach to autism, ADHD, and co-occurring mental health challenges is neurodiversity-affirming, practical, and deeply personalised. Rather than focusing on deficits, we emphasise strengths, authentic self-understanding, and strategies that truly fit the person’s life.

2. Holistic Care Across the Lifespan

   
   

We understand the emotional toll that navigating daily challenges can take on families and individuals. We provide compassionate support for a wide range of needs, including:

• Emotional regulation and anxiety

• Executive functioning and organisational difficulties

• Social communication and relationships

• Confidence, identity, and daily independence

• Parenting and family support around neurodivergence

  
  

Capacity Building and Evidence-Based Interventions

Our clinicians provide psychological interventions tailored to each participant’s goals, strengths, and functional needs. Where appropriate, our services align with goals funded under Capacity Building: Improved Daily Living supports.

1. Individualised Therapy Plans

   
   

Every plan is designed to reflect the participant's specific preferences and challenges. We offer counselling and tailored strategies focused on improving everyday functioning, emotional wellbeing, and participation in the community.

2. Collaborative Family and Systemic Support

   
   

True progress rarely happens in isolation. We work closely with parents, carers, schools, and medical practitioners to ensure our psychological support is practical, coordinated, and aligned with the participant’s broader network.

Stress-Free NDIS Reports and Documentation

We understand that securing and maintaining funding can be an incredibly stressful process for NDIS participants and their support teams. Clear documentation is vital to keeping support in place.

Our team is highly experienced in preparing thoughtful, clinically informed documentation that accurately reflects an individual’s strengths and functional impact. We assist with:

• Functional and psychological reports

• Progress reports and review documentation

• Supporting evidence for funding reviews or reassessments

• Contributions to multidisciplinary reports and care planning

Funding Eligibility and FAQ Quick-Check

To make the referral process as smooth as possible for you and your clients, here is a quick overview of how our clinic operates.

• What funding types do you accept? We welcome NDIS participants who have self-managed or plan-managed funding. This provides maximum flexibility for families to choose the provider that best fits their needs.

• Is a GP referral required? No. A formal referral is not required for self-managed or plan-managed participants, which helps reduce waiting times and delays.

• Can family members be involved in sessions? Yes. Where appropriate, we actively encourage the involvement of family members and carers to ensure therapeutic strategies translate effectively into the home environment.
