External supervision
Nourish Services offers external clinical supervision, structured case review, and practice-focused training for Behaviour Support Practitioners seeking high-quality, ethical, and evidence-based professional support.
Purpose of This Service
This service supports Behaviour Support Practitioners to deliver behaviour support that is safe, ethical, and effective. Through reflective supervision, practitioners strengthen their clinical reasoning, refine intervention planning, and review behaviour support plans to ensure strategies are tailored and effective. The service also provides targeted guidance and practical skills development, helping practitioners maintain compliance with NDIS legislative and practice requirements while fostering professional growth and sustainable practice.
All supervision, case review, and training is grounded in person-centred and rights-based practice, trauma-informed and neuro-affirming principles, least-restrictive approaches, and the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Framework.

Our COUNSELLORs
LUCY
Over the past several years, I’ve worked primarily with children, teens and young adults, supporting them, their families and care teams through complex behaviour, complex diagnostic profiles, emotional regulation challenges and significant life transitions. I have a multifaceted educational background, including a Bachelor of Psychological Science, a Master of Teaching (Primary), a Graduate Certificate in Behaviour Analysis, and a Master of Counselling. I am registered as a Level 2 ACA counsellor and hold additional therapist registrations as an NDIS advanced behaviour support practitioner and certified behaviour analyst in Australia.
My approach is warm, playful, and collaborative. I often use creative, hands-on strategies like games, art, storytelling, and somatic movement to help young people and adults explore feelings, build emotional skills, and communicate in ways that feel natural.
I work through a person-centred, neuro-affirming and trauma-informed lens. I aim to create a space where every person who walks into Nourish’s therapy room feels seen and respected, with choice and control throughout the process. Where it’s helpful, I also work alongside caregivers, partners, and support networks to support consistent change beyond the therapy room.
