A fresh approach to Positive Behaviour Support

At AkindaCo, Positive Behaviour Support is a thoughtful, relational process, shaped around the person and the systems they live within.

Our work is grounded in the belief that behaviour makes sense when it is understood in context. Rather than starting with strategies or targets, we begin by building a shared understanding of the person’s experiences, needs, and supports.

At AkindaCo, Positive Behaviour Support is a thoughtful, relational process, shaped around the person and the systems they live within.

Our work is grounded in the belief that behaviour makes sense when it is understood in context. Rather than starting with strategies or targets, we begin by building a shared understanding of the person’s experiences, needs, and supports.

A formulation-led way of working.

Our PBS work is guided by formulation. This means we take time to understand how behaviour is influenced by:

  • trauma and cumulative stress

  • sensory processing and environmental demands

  • communication, capacity, and context

  • nervous system regulation

  • attachment and relational experiences

This depth of understanding helps ensure that PBS plans feel relevant, respectful, and aligned with the person’s real life.

Positive Behaviour Support, a kinder way.

At its core, PBS at AkindaCo is about creating the conditions where people feel safer, better understood, and more supported in their everyday lives

Trauma-informed and relationship-aware

Many people accessing PBS have experienced long periods of distress, misunderstanding, or unmet needs. Our approach acknowledges and reflects this.

We place strong emphasis on safety, predictability, and relationship, and we pay close attention to how expectations, environments, and interactions impact behaviour.

Integrated, team-based support

PBS at AkindaCo is not done in isolation. We work as a team; our Specialist PBS Practitioners provide clinical oversight and our team works alongside integrated therapists and clinicians.

This allows PBS to sit naturally alongside therapeutic work and day-to-day supports, rather than operating as a separate or disconnected process.

Practical plans, written for real life

PBS plans at AkindaCo are designed to be used. They are clear, practical, and written with the people who will be implementing them in mind.

Strategies are strengths-based and realistic, and plans are shaped around what is actually possible within each setting.

Ethical and reflective practice

We take an ethical approach to behaviour support, including careful consideration of restrictive practices, with a focus on dignity, transparency, and reduction wherever possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We understand that therapy can be a daunting or scary process! Generally, our initial appointment with you, your child and family involves two practitioners. We will explain the process and get you settled in before we start to explore what you would like to see different. We’ll talk together about next steps so that you leave with an idea of what comes next.


  • Children LOVE our play spaces. We have toys, art material and sensory resources to suit all age groups. There will always be one therapist who can be with the child to make them feel comfortable, understand their play and get to know them. Kids often don’t want to leave since they’re having so much fun!

  • We provide psychotherapy informed by a number of principles including Expressive Therapy (i.e.  expressive arts for therapeutic use), neurobiology, trauma and attachment, systemic thinking and childhood and family development.

    We provide a holistic service that caters to you and your family, which can include any of the following: Play Therapy, Expressive Therapy, Art Psychotherapy, Systemic Family Therapy, Counselling and Psychotherapy.

  • Psychologists are Masters level trained clinicians who focus on assessment, diagnosis and intervention using predominantly CBT, ACT, DBT or mindfulness. Currently we do not have any psychologists on our team.

     

    Our Psychotherapists are Masters qualified clinicians who focus on the therapeutic relationship and rapport building, as well as developing nuanced and integrative interventions from a number of evidence-informed therapy modalities that suit the individual or family presenting. They focus on client-centred practice and feedback that consistently checks in about how we’re doing in the process of helping you.

  • We offer flexible pricing based on project type and complexity. After an initial conversation, we’ll provide a transparent quote with no hidden costs.

  • The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency currently does not accept Psychotherapists to register. Instead, Psychotherapists and Counsellors are registered with their our specialist registry bodies such as PACFA, AAFT and ANZACATA. This means that specialist Psychotherapists cannot obtain Medicare Provider Numbers. 

     

    However, as we highly value accessibility and want to make our services available to the community, we have Mental Health Care Plan (MHCP) Reduced Cost Pathway, whereby we honour your MHCP and reduce the rate of services to the suggested gap fee outlined by the Australian Psychological Society.
