Individual sessions

For children this may involve time spent with parents to develop behavioural plans and review progress. For adults these are typically 1:1 although parent/partner support is often requested / required.

Group sessions

In the areas of communication, social and relationship skills, clients often benefit from participating in group programs.  As a part of intervention, group sessions would be recommended to enhance, practice and build confidence in skills learned through individual sessions.

Couple sessions

Diverse Minds offers a space for couples to explore difficulties in communicating, reciprocating emotions and navigating the complexity of intimate relationships. Sessions can support couples where one individual has been diagnosed on the spectrum, or where the couple has not had any specific assessment, but require generalised relationship support. Couple sessions provide guidance and support, along with strategies to aid in more effective connection with your partner.

Family sessions

Working with families and approaching individuals with a holistic perspective is a core component of therapy at Diverse Minds. We offer sessions for parents to assist in areas such as developing strategies for effective management of challenging relationships or behaviours at home, as well as support around processing a diagnosis, including the best ways to disclose information and managing feelings of grief and anger. Diverse Minds also provides the opportunity for whole families to attend sessions together, which can be useful to explore which specific relationships need support, as well as developing family goals.
