Services We’re Offering

In Complex Case Consultation Clinic

In the intricate realm of mental health and behavioural challenges, the Complex Case Consultation Clinic emerges as a specialised hub, dedicated to providing a unique blend of services tailored to address multifaceted concerns. At the very heart of our offerings is an unwavering commitment to place the client at the centre of all interventions, ensuring personalized and empathetic care.  Here’s a concise breakdown of what we offer:

Client-Centric Approach

Every service, consultation, and recommendation we provide is rooted in understanding and addressing the unique needs, challenges, and aspirations of the client. By placing the client at the centre of our approach, we can offer the most effective and compassionate care.

Structured Group Consultations

Our two-hour group consultations are designed to provide an in-depth, theoretically informed analysis of a client’s challenges and behaviors. This structured approach ensures that the client’s concerns are thoroughly addressed, and actionable strategies are formulated.

Stakeholder Engagement

Recognizing the importance of collective understanding, our clinic involves not just the client but also their stakeholders. This includes carers, alternative decision-makers, support coordinators, and other professionals, ensuring a comprehensive grasp of the situation and the behaviours of concern.

Short and Long-term Strategy Development

Our team collaborates to devise both immediate and long-term strategies tailored to the client’s needs. This dual approach ensures that the foundation for sustained well-being is also laid while immediate concerns are addressed.

Specialized Case Management

Our clinic offers specialised case management for situations where traditional therapeutic or positive behaviour support approaches haven’t yielded desired results. This is particularly beneficial for clients with dual or triple diagnoses, such as those grappling with mental health concerns alongside drug and alcohol abuse issues or forensic involvement.

Clinically Informed Recommendations

After consultation, clients and stakeholders are provided with clinically informed recommendations. These can range from specific behavioural strategies to system changes like staff training requirements, further medical evaluations, or allied health triaging.

Future Service Recommendations

Our team also offers guidance on potential future therapeutic or positive behaviour services. This could include counselling, full positive behaviour support plans, or even follow-up case consultation clinics, ensuring continued support.

Case Formulation Framework

Utilising a systematic approach, our clinicians facilitate discussions based on various therapeutic models like Applied Behavioural Analysis, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and Trauma and Attachment models. This ensures a comprehensive understanding of the presenting concerns and aids in formulating effective recommendations.

Active Team Member Involvement

Our clinic promotes active participation from all team members attending the consultation. This collaborative approach ensures that diverse professional opinions are considered, leading to well-rounded solutions.

Our offerings

Client-Centric Approach:

While clients are encouraged to attend, they aren’t mandated to. In cases where they choose not to attend, they are provided with a person-centred thinking tool. This ensures that their goals and concerns remain at the forefront of the consultation.

In Summary: The Complex Case Consultation Clinic is a nexus of expertise, collaboration, and client-centric care. Our offerings are meticulously designed to ensure that everyone receives the comprehensive support they deserve, paving the way for enhanced well-being and quality of life.
Aggression is a behaviour characterised by strong feelings of hostility, which can manifest physically, verbally, or mentally. It can arise due to various factors, including frustration, threats, or learned behaviours from the environment.
Sexualized behaviors refer to actions that are overtly sexual in nature and might be inappropriate considering the individual's age or the setting. Such behaviors can arise from various factors, including past trauma, exposure to explicit content, or other underlying issues.

Collaboration:

At the heart of our clinic is the belief that complex cases require multifaceted solutions. Recognizing this, we've forged a collaboration that seamlessly integrates the knowledge of psychologists, neuropsychologists, mental health social workers, specialist positive behaviour support practitioners, and a myriad of other allied health consultants. This interdisciplinary approach ensures that every angle of a case is examined, every nuance understood, and every solution tailored to the individual's unique needs.

Expertise:

With over two decades of combined experience, our team is a tapestry of skills and insights. Our psychologists delve deep into the intricacies of the human mind, offering clarity and direction. Our neuropsychologists, with their specialised understanding of the brain-behaviour relationship, provide invaluable insights into the neurological aspects of behaviour. Our team’s mental health social workers play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between clinical interventions and real-world applications, ensuring that our clients and their families receive comprehensive support. Our specialist positive behaviour support practitioners bring to the fore evidence-based strategies that promote positive behaviour while addressing challenging behaviours in the most humane and effective ways. Furthermore, the diverse backgrounds of our allied health consultants mean that we can address a wide range of issues, from the physiological to the environmental. Whether it's a speech therapist offering communication strategies or an occupational therapist suggesting environmental modifications, every professional adds a unique layer to our comprehensive approach.
