COUNSELLING Services
Our counselling Services
Every individual on NexGenCounselling has the right to be an active participant in the community and to make choices about things that matter to them. These values are demonstrated in the work that we do, and the way that we do it, particularly in our therapy services.
Our Approach to Counselling Services
When it comes to our child and adult autism counselling services, our mission is to develop person-centred, family-focused solutions which are flexible, responsive and evidence-informed.
We aim to support and empower individuals on the spectrum and their families to bring about meaningful change based on functional goals. To accomplish those goals, we work in partnership with the individual and their support network to identify strengths and needs, and develop support strategies that meet their interests, capabilities and cultural beliefs.
Our services include:
EEG Brain MappingCounsellingEducation and skills developmentPositive behavior supportTelehealth servicesParent trainingCoaching
Our counselling services utilize key elements from behavioural, developmental and social learning, therapy-based and family-based support. They are delivered in an environment that best suits the individual, family, and support network. This may be in the home, online via videoconferencing or in another environment, such as at child care, preschool, school, out in the community, day programs or in one of our group-based therapy programs.
We also offer clinic-based intervention, holiday assessment clinic and outreach programs.
