I am passionate about working in the NDIS space because I am committed to supporting individuals with diverse needs to achieve greater independence, inclusion, and quality of life. I have a strong interest in working with participants with psychological disabilities, developmental disorders, and progressive neurological conditions. I am drawn to this field because it allows me to apply my counselling skills in a way that empowers people to build on their strengths and reach their personal goals. I am particularly motivated by the opportunity to make a tangible, positive difference in the lives of individuals and their families, providing tailored support that respects each person’s unique journey.

BPsych (Honours)

Derek has worked in the NDIS space for over two years, both as a Behaviour Support Practitioner and as a Psychologist. Previously, he also worked as an ABA therapist and research assistant.

During his studies, Derek gravitated towards developmental psychology and psychopathology. As a result, he has developed an interest with assisting and managing children’s mental health and behaviours. He believes working with the young population is where we can see the most growth, change and potential. His interests extend to young adults who belong to the same generation as him due to the various shared interests and upbringings.

Currently, Derek would like to develop his competency with diagnostic assessments. In the future, he hopes to learn niche therapeutic models such as interpersonal therapy, schema therapy and eye movement desensitisation and reprogramming (EMDR).
