NDIS Counselling & Psychosocial Recovery Coaching with LEXs
Trauma-Informed, Culturally Responsive, and Lived-Experience-Led Support Across Australia
Living with mental-health challenges while navigating the NDIS can feel complex. At Lived Experience Solutions (LEXs), I offer NDIS-funded online counselling and psychosocial recovery coaching that supports both your wellbeing and your capacity to thrive - at your own pace, in your own way.
Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, trauma, or navigating the complexities of recovery, our work together focuses on stability, confidence, and connection.
How NDIS Counselling & Recovery Coaching Can Help
You can choose counselling, recovery coaching, or a blend of both depending on your goals. Together, we work to:
Strengthen emotional regulation and daily coping
Build skills for independence, confidence, and community engagement
Explore your experiences safely and without judgment
Reconnect with hope, purpose, and identity
Develop strategies for managing stress, relationships, and change
Both counselling and recovery coaching are collaborative, flexible supports that help you move toward a life that feels balanced and self-directed.

I’ve supported hundreds of participants, families, and teams to navigate the NDIS and access support that genuinely meets their needs.
My approach to counselling and psychosocial recovery coaching is trauma-informed, person-centred, and practical. Whether you’re exploring your emotions, rebuilding confidence, or working toward your NDIS goals, you’ll find our sessions grounded in empathy, structure, and collaboration.
At LEXs, my goal is simple: to help people feel heard, capable, and connected - within themselves, their communities, and their plans.
