Lisa is a part of our Positive Behavioural Support team and brings a wealth of knowledge.
Driven by the opportunity to create a meaningful impact in people’s lives, Lisa’s goal is to “Enhance quality of life and help each person reach their unique aspirations”.
I adopt a person-centred and culturally-responsive approach, grounded in evidence and trauma-awareness. I prioritise collaboration and a holistic view when working with participants, their families, and support networks. My goal is to enhance quality of life and help each person reach their unique aspirations. By customising support to meet the distinct needs and situations of each individual, I strive to create a lasting positive impact on their everyday lives.
My experience in psychosocial recovery and vocational rehabilitation has provided me with a profound insight into the challenges that individuals encounter when coping with mental health issues, psychological injuries, and other behaviours of concern. I was driven to pursue a career in behavioural support to create a meaningful impact in people’s lives. Witnessing the positive transformations and enhancements in the quality of life of those I assist is immensely fulfilling and inspires me to keep engaging in this vital work.
Collaboration is a cornerstone of my practice. Working closely with participants, their families, and other support systems ensures that the support provided is comprehensive and cohesive. By involving everyone in the planning and implementation process, we create strategies that are more effective and sustainable. This collaborative approach helps to build trust and ensures that all voices are heard and respected, leading to better outcomes for the participants.
Staying informed about the latest advancements in psychology and behavioural support is essential for delivering optimal care. I frequently attend professional development workshops, conferences, and training sessions. Currently, I am completing a Graduate Diploma in Psychology (Advanced), which helps me to stay connected with contemporary research and emerging best practices. I also engage in peer supervision and network with other medical and allied health professionals to exchange knowledge and insights.
