A different path after a life-changing event

A brain injury can change how a person thinks, feels, moves, and experiences the world. It might be the result of an accident, stroke, illness, or other medical event. Recovery is often not a straight line, some abilities may return over time, while others may need new ways of doing things. A brain injury doesn’t take away who a person is. With understanding, rehabilitation, and supportive environments, children and adults can rebuild skills, regain confidence, and live meaningful, fulfilling lives.

No two brain injuries are the same

The effects of brain injury are unique to each person. Some may experience changes in memory, concentration, or speech. Others might notice differences in movement, emotional regulation, or sensory processing. Recovery can vary greatly depending on the type and severity of the injury, the person’s age, and the support they receive. Each person’s journey requires patience, flexibility, and tailored strategies that respect their abilities and goals.

Support should focus on rebuilding, not limitation

Brain injury support isn’t about telling someone what they “can’t” do — it’s about finding new ways to do what’s meaningful to them. With the right therapies, assistive tools, and consistent encouragement, people can adapt and rediscover independence and confidence.

Championing People with a Brain Injury

Supporting someone after a brain injury means standing beside them as they navigate change, recovery, and adaptation. We work with individuals, families, and support teams to rebuild skills and confidence, while reducing stress and creating safe, supportive environments.

Creating safe, accessible spaces

We help adapt homes, schools, and community areas to make movement and daily life easier and safer.

Developing physical strength and coordination

We work alongside allied health professionals to support movement, balance, and physical rehabilitation plans.

Supporting emotional wellbeing and adjustment

We guide individuals and families through the emotional challenges that come with changes in abilities and independence.

Hear it from real families

“Before we understood what was really going on for J, every day felt like a struggle. Our support workers were doing their best, but nothing seemed to click. It often felt like we were all trying to push J into doing things, and the more we pushed, the more he shut down.

When Brooke and her team explained Autism & PDA to us, it was like someone finally turned the light on. We realised he wasn’t being difficult, he was doing everything he could to feel safe and in control.

With Brooke’s help, our whole approach changed. His support workers stopped trying to force things and started meeting him where he’s at by giving him time, space, and choices.

Now, J’s so much more relaxed. He actually wants to spend time with his workers because they see him for who he is. He laughs more, joins in on his own terms, and doesn’t feel like he has to mask or meet anyone else’s expectations.

It’s been incredible to watch him grow into himself, just by being accepted”
- J’s Mum

Real people. Real experience.
Here for you.

We’re not just professionals — we’re people who get it.

Our team is proudly autistic-led, trauma-informed, and shaped by lived experience. We’ve sat on both sides of the table — as clinicians, as family members, and many of us as neurodivergent individuals ourselves.

We understand that life isn’t always neat or easy, and behaviour support should never feel like a judgement or try to change who you are.

No matter what life looks like for you right now — we walk alongside you.
