NDIS
Artfusion Counselling is a mobile service interested in helping you to Build Your Capacity, whether as a group or as an individual. I am based in Adelaide and I am happy to travel as far as Victor Harbor, Clare, Murray Bridge, Woodcroft etc and possibly a place near you.
If you have an idea for a group session let me know, as I am a VET trained educator and can put something in place for you.
Services:
Capacity Building – Innovation Community Participation
Our goal is to assist you to be included in your community, and we recognise this isn’t always easy. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures, and these challenges can make us more resilient, whether that’s getting into the workforce, paid or voluntary or engaging in the community.
We like to get to know you and to find out what the barriers are for you. We would work out the steps to take together to achieve your goal, and build on your strengths. Our top priority is caring for your mental health and well being. We want to help to put you in control of your life with our guidance. We want to build your self confidence, resilience and personal growth.
Therapeutic Supports
NDIS funds therapeutic supports for participants between the ages of 7-65 yrs. The goal is to assist participants to use their skills or build new skills to achieve daily activities in order to become more independent, learn to make achievable goals and enjoy the victory when you’re met your goals.
At Artfusion we do this through counselling, and art therapy, and as a mobile service provider, it means we can travel to most places within 50 kilometres from Adelaide. We encourage participants to get out into their local community, booking a room with the local community centre or library. We want you to be able to build your confidence whilst enjoying our interaction through art and or counselling, assessment or recommendations.
Your goals can be varied- we’ve had over 20+ yrs experience in the disability area- Intellectual, multiple disabilities, autism, injured workers, chronic pain, mental health issues, anxiety & depression, etc We are qualified Rehabilitation Counsellors who can also integrate Art Therapy to assist you. Or you can simply think of us as a coach.
Aimed at Adjustment, Adaption & building capacity for Community Participation.
