Psychosocial Recovery Coaching (NDIS)
Supporting Your Recovery, Your Way
At COPE Centre, we understand that recovery is not about “fixing” symptoms” it’s about building a life that feels meaningful, connected, and aligned with who you are.
Our Psychosocial Recovery Coaching service supports individuals living with psychosocial disability to develop capacity, navigate the NDIS, and move toward greater independence and wellbeing. As an NDIS registered provider, we offer recovery-oriented support that is grounded in both clinical understanding and human connection.
What is a Psychosocial Recovery Coach?
A Psychosocial Recovery Coach is an NDIS-funded mental health support who works alongside you to help you:
- Understand your needs, goals, and strengths
- Navigate the NDIS and access appropriate supports
- Build confidence, resilience, and independence
- Develop a recovery plan that reflects your life not just your diagnosis
- Build a safe, consistent relationship where you feel understood and supported
- Act as the bridge between clinical and non-clinical supports, ensuring your team is working together and aligned
Recovery is not just about managing symptoms. At COPE, we understand recovery as a process of growing into yourself developing greater self-awareness, autonomy, and a sense of meaning in your life. In this way, recovery coaching works toward integration, agency, and self-actualisation, even in the presence of ongoing challenges.
Stories from the People We Support
We Provide
A safe, consistent relationship where you feel understood
We prioritise building a space where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and not judged. Over time, this consistency helps foster trust, making it easier to explore challenges and engage in the recovery process.
A collaborative approach tailored to your pace
We work alongside you, recognising that change takes time and should not be rushed. Your goals, readiness, and preferences guide the process, ensuring support feels manageable and aligned with your needs.
Support that integrates both practical goals and emotional wellbeing
We balance practical support with an understanding of your emotional world, recognising that both are interconnected. This allows us to support not just what you do day-to-day, but how you experience yourself and your life more broadly.
How We Support You
Understand & Navigate the NDIS
Your Recovery Coach will help you make sense of your NDIS plan, connect you with appropriate services and supports, and coordinate with your wider support network. They act as a consistent point of contact, ensuring your supports feel coherent, connected, and containing, rather than fragmented.
Highly Experienced
Our recovery coaches are experienced counsellors and health professionals who are trained to help you feel understood and supported. We use a real, human relationship listening carefully, noticing what matters to you to turn insight into practical steps that fit your life.
Insight-Oriented Care & Relational Support
At COPE, our recovery coaches work from a relational and person-centred approach, recognising that meaningful change happens through a consistent and trusting connection. We take the time to understand you in the context of your life, building safety and trust while supporting you to make sense of patterns, challenges, and experiences. Rather than focusing only on practical tasks, we integrate insight with action helping you understand the “why” behind difficulties while working toward achievable, real-world goals.
Trauma-Informed Approach
At COPE, trauma-informed care isn’t a add-on it’s how we work. Our team receives ongoing training and supervision from experienced Perth-based psychologists with extensive expertise in complex trauma. We pay attention to the small things that help people feel safe, respected, and in control.
Strengthen Mental Health & Wellbeing
Your Recovery Coach will support you to build resilience and develop practical coping strategies, while also assisting with emotional regulation and maintaining engagement during periods of increased distress. Together, you will work toward developing greater awareness of your emotional patterns, triggers, and responses, supporting you to better understand and manage your internal world.
Supervision & Professional Development
We invest heavily in staff learning so support stays safe, ethical, and effective. All COPE clinicians, recovery coaches, and psychosocial support workers receive regular supervision, reflective practice, and ongoing training aligned with NDIS Practice Standards and best-practice mental health care.
Psychology & Counselling
Our Psychologists and Counsellors are trained in psychoanalytically informed therapy — a deeper, more personalised approach to talk therapy. Rather than just treating surface symptoms, we explore the root causes of difficulties and the unconscious patterns that may be holding you back. Research shows that psychoanalytic therapies have lasting benefits, continuing to support personal growth long after treatment ends. This approach is especially effective for individuals facing complex or long-standing mental health challenges.
