Seeking Minds provides Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) grounded in a human rights, capacity-building, and trauma-informed framework. Our practice is guided by the principle that all individuals have the right to autonomy, dignity, safety, meaningful participation, and access to supports that enhance quality of life.

We understand behaviours of concern as meaningful communication that may reflect unmet needs, environmental barriers, trauma experiences, sensory differences, communication challenges, or systemic exclusion. Our role is not to “reduce behaviour” in isolation, but to understand context, strengthen support environments, and build individual and system capacity to support wellbeing.

Our PBS approach focuses on:

• Upholding the rights, dignity, and autonomy of the individual

• Building functional, emotional, and social capacity

• Strengthening environments and support systems

• Reducing reliance on restrictive practices

• Increasing participation in meaningful life activities

• Supporting long-term skill development and independence

• Promoting safety through proactive, not reactive, strategies

We work collaboratively with participants, families, carers, schools, organisations, and multidisciplinary teams to develop practical and sustainable supports that align with the person’s goals, values, and lived experience.

Our Positive Behaviour Support services include:

• Functional Behaviour Assessments (FBA)

• Interim Behaviour Support Plans

• Comprehensive Behaviour Support Plans

• Behaviour support strategies focused on skill development

• Capacity building for support workers, families, and teams

• Environmental and contextual assessments

• Emotional regulation and communication support strategies

• Restrictive practice review and reduction planning (where applicable and authorised)

• Collaborative multidisciplinary planning and review

We support individuals across a range of presentations, including:

• Autism and ADHD

• Psychosocial disability

• Trauma and attachment-related experiences

• Emotional and behavioural dysregulation

• Intellectual and developmental disability

• Complex and high support needs

Our work is aligned with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission requirements and is grounded in contemporary Positive Behaviour Support principles, with a strong emphasis on human rights, participation, and capacity building rather than control or compliance.

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process and integrate traumatic memories that may be “stuck” or causing ongoing distress. At Seeking Minds, EMDR is used as part of a holistic, neuroscience-informed approach alongside psychotherapy.

Through structured sessions, our therapists guide participants to reprocess difficult memories, reduce the intensity of associated emotions, and build resilience. EMDR sessions are collaborative and tailored, ensuring participants feel supported and safe throughout the process.

If you’d like to explore whether EMDR is right for you, please contact us to discuss your needs and goals.

We partner with organisations to strengthen culture, improve team cohesion, and embed organisational values into everyday practice. Our services include:

• Tailored consultation to support organisational reflection, problem-solving, and strategy

• Customised training programs for staff, leaders, and teams

• Team reflective practice to build insight and collaborative problem-solving

• Individual case consultation to support complex situations and decision-making

By combining consultation, training, and reflective practice, we help organisations operate more effectively, creating better outcomes for the people they support.

Reflective practice is a structured form of group supervision and processing that helps teams, groups, and organisations engage with each other from a relational perspective. It provides a space to step back from individual processes, reconnect with the broader team, and focus on shared goals.

This approach is a powerful tool for managing the range of challenges that can arise in clinical and workplace settings. Sessions typically run for 1.5 hours and draw on a mix of methodologies, including group discussion, activities, debriefing, and collaborative problem-solving, to achieve meaningful outcomes.

Reflective practice supports teams to debrief, realign, and navigate complexity together. All our practitioners bring extensive experience to these sessions and are committed to tailoring the approach to meet your organisation’s needs and achieve the best outcomes.

Please contact Seeking Minds for a complimentary initial discussion to explore how reflective practice can support your team or organisation.
