NDIS Counselling
Axis provides counselling to individuals with a lived experience of mental health issues and psychosocial disability. This service fits into NDIS plans in the area of ‘Improved daily living’ under capacity building.
As counsellors, this means there is an opportunity to provide assistance to those who would not normally have access to counsellors. We support the delivery of high quality, person centred supports that are engaging, to help NDIS participants achieve their goals and aspirations.
