Why People Centred Therapies Exists
We believe every person deserves the opportunity to live with dignity, pursue meaningful goals, develop practical skills, and participate in the activities that matter to them.
People Centred Therapies was founded on the belief that allied health should make a genuine difference in people’s everyday lives.
Our purpose is not simply to provide appointments, assessments, or reports. We want our services to help people build functional skills, increase participation, exercise greater choice and agency, improve their quality of life, and work towards greater independence.
We also believe allied health should continually evolve. We challenge ourselves to measure what is working, question approaches that are not producing meaningful outcomes, and continually raise the standard we expect of our own practice.
How We Create Meaningful Change
-
We consider each participant’s strengths, goals, functional needs, preferences, relationships, environment, and everyday experiences before making recommendations.
-
Every assessment, report, intervention, recommendation, and strategy is developed around the individual participant and their circumstances.
-
We combine research, clinical expertise, participant preferences, and the practical realities of everyday life to develop recommendations that are clear, realistic, and achievable.
-
We evaluate whether our assessments, interventions, and clinical systems are producing meaningful outcomes and refine our approach when the evidence indicates there is a better way.
-
Our services focus on changes that matter beyond the therapy session, including developing everyday skills, increasing participation, improving communication, and supporting progress that can be maintained in everyday life.
-
We work with participants, families, carers, support workers, coordinators, educators, and other professionals where appropriate to support consistent and practical implementation.
-
We provide our clinicians with manageable expectations, opportunities for collaboration, and the time needed to understand each participant and complete their work properly.
What We Provide
Occupational Therapy
Our occupational therapists support participants to develop the skills, confidence, and supports needed to participate in everyday activities.
Services may include Functional Capacity Assessments, daily living skills assessment and intervention, assistive technology assessments, home and living assessments, capacity-building intervention, and occupational therapy driving assessments.
Specialist Behaviour Support
Our behaviour support practitioners work to understand why behaviours occur and identify practical ways to improve quality of life, build skills, and reduce the need for behaviours of concern.
Services may include Functional Behaviour Assessments, interim and comprehensive Behaviour Support Plans, proactive and skill-building strategies, implementation support, training, restrictive practice review, and ongoing behaviour support intervention.
