🌿 Meet our Positive Behaviour Support Team!

Say hello to Chanel, Megan and Dominique, our wonderful Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) team here at Your Therapy Place!

Our team is passionate about helping people of all ages and abilities build skills, strengthen their independence and improve their quality of life.

What is Positive Behaviour Support? 💭

Positive Behaviour Support is a person-centred, evidence-based approach that focuses on understanding why behaviours occur and identifying ways to better support each individual's needs.

Our PBS practitioners work collaboratively with participants, families, carers and support networks to:

🌱 Understand behaviours of concern and the needs behind them.

🌱 Develop individualised, practical behaviour support strategies.

🌱 Build communication, emotional regulation and everyday living skills.

🌱 Support independence, choice and meaningful participation in everyday life.

🌱 Reduce the need for restrictive practices and promote positive, lasting outcomes.

At Your Therapy Place, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to live a full and meaningful life, whatever that looks like for them. Our approach is compassionate, respectful and tailored to each individual.

We are accepting new PBS referrals! ✨

Our friendly team would love to hear from you. Whether you're seeking support for yourself, a family member or someone you support, we're here to help.

Hi, I’m Dominique! 👋🏼

I’m a Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner, and I’m passionate about getting to know people as individuals, understanding their stories and recognising their strengths.

I believe there’s always more to behaviour than what we see on the surface. My role is to look beyond the challenges, understand the why behind behaviour, and work alongside individuals, their families and support teams to find positive, practical ways to make everyday life a little easier.

My goal is to help people feel heard, valued and understood, while collaboratively creating strategies that build on their strengths, support their goals and improve their quality of life.

I believe in focusing on what’s possible, shifting the perspective from seeing the cup as half empty to recognising that it’s half full.

And most importantly, we go at your pace. You set the tone. No judgement, no pressure, just genuine connection, understanding and working together to find what works best for you.

If you think Dominique can support you or someone you know, we'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch to discuss referrals and availability on 1800 987 522 or [email protected] 😊

🚨 New Speechie Alert 🚨

Pete is a Speech Pathologist originally from Canada with 3.5 years of experience across the NDIS, aged care, and hospital sectors, and also works part-time at the Mater Hospital Rockhampton.

For Peter connection comes first. Building strong relationships with participants and families, understanding what is important to them, and working towards meaningful goals is at the centre of his practice. He believes therapy is most effective when it is functional, person-centred, and focused on helping people participate in the activities that matter most to them.

Peter has experience working with a wide range of disabilities and support needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), intellectual disability, Down syndrome, psychosocial disorders, genetic conditions, and complex communication needs. He is particularly passionate about supporting non-verbal and minimally speaking individuals through AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) and enjoys working closely with families, schools, and support teams to build communication skills across home, school, and community environments. Outside of AAC, Pete enjoys supporting children with reading, spelling, grammar, and literacy development.

Pete also supports adults. If you have experienced a stroke or TBI (traumatic brain injury), or are living with a progressive neurological condition such as Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Huntington's disease, Motor Neurone Disease (MND), or dementia, he would love to help. He has experience supporting individuals with swallowing and mealtime management, speech clarity, voice, language and word-finding difficulty, cognition-communication, and memory, with a focus on maintaining independence, social connection, and quality of life.

If you think Peter may be a good fit for you or someone you know, we'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch to discuss referrals and availability on 1800 987 522 or [email protected] 🙂

Beach Day Out 2026 🌴🐚⛱☀

Today is R U OK? day 💛

It is an important reminder to check in with the people around us, not just today, but any day.

Your mate's stopped texting back.
You haven't seen your neighbour in a while.
Your colleague is quieter in meetings.
Your teammate skipped practice again.
Your child is staying in their room more.
Your partner seems flat.

You don’t need to be an expert or have all the answers. Sometimes simply asking “R U OK?” and taking the time to genuinely listen can make a real difference 💛
