NDIS Mental Health Support

Hi, I’m Laura, a qualified Mental Health Support Worker based on the Gold Coast.
I’m passionate about supporting people living with mental health challenges to feel calmer, more confident, and better connected to community.

My own lived experience with trauma, recovery and healing has shaped the way I hold space for others. I believe everyone deserves gentle, respectful support and practical care, no matter where they’re starting from.

How I Can Support You

I help NDIS participants build confidence, manage daily challenges, and feel more connected; in a way that feels safe, respectful, and uplifting.

Some of the ways I can support you:

• Emotional regulation and calming techniques
• Self-care planning and healthy routines
• Support with social skills and building friendships
• Gentle support to attend community activities or appointments
• Goal setting and motivation for everyday living
• Sensory-based relaxation for stress and overwhelm
• Gentle mindful strategies to stay grounded in daily life

Together, we decide what kind of support feels right for you…. step by step, at your pace.

I work with people of all ages who are Self-Managed or Plan-Managed under the NDIS.
This can include people with:

  • Anxiety or depression

  • Psychosocial disability

  • Social isolation

  • Trauma-related challenges

  • Everyday overwhelm

Where We Meet

  • In your home (Gold Coast region)

What Makes My Support Unique

My support is practical and person-centered, with the option for gentle sensory-based strategies when they align with your plan goals and comfort.
