Proficient Behaviour Support Practitioner

📍Service Area: Sunshine Coast, Caloundra

Hi, my name is Darren Singh.

I am a Psychotherapist and Counsellor, based in Caloundra, who also provides BSP’s throughout the Sunshine Coast.

One of the parts I love about the BSP framework, is that it acknowledges, the village or community around the participant, must derive their care and support from ‘the same book’; once we are informed and aligned in our approach, the participant receives greater care and there are greater outcomes. This approach aligns with my personal and professional ethos, that is derived from ancient cultural wisdoms that inform us, we are stronger together.

I have been providing therapeutic intervention via psychotherapy and family counselling for just under a decade; working with an array of behavioural issues, addiction, self-harm, intimate partner violence, trauma, depression, anxiety, and personality concerns.

The people who come to work with Kate have often become stuck in problems of living. Sometimes a problem feels as big as a mountain. How can they begin to climb it? Kate believes we need a map, tools and people to support us along the way.

Kate is committed to making good maps, finding the right tools and providing encouragement. She does this through person-centred relationships that emphasize listening and collaboration; creatively applying a range of evidence-based strategies that suit the individual; and working to keep up the momentum until people are celebrating their outcomes. With her skills, knowledge of theories, systems and health and disability legislation, Kate is well positioned to assist people who want to achieve their goals.

Kate thinks that when we have the resources that are right for us, we can get through life's valleys and be dancing on those far away peaks. Though the climbing is hard work sometimes, the view from the top can be beautiful.
