Psychosocial recovery coaching

Psychosocial recovery coaching

Living with a psychosocial disability is exhausting. It feels isolating and incredibly overwhelming at times. But you don't have to face it by yourself. Our recovery coaches are here to stand right beside you, exactly where you are in your journey.

Supporting you to live a full and meaningful life

Navigating mental health challenges in everyday life is rarely simple. It's draining. And knowing where to even start is half the battle. Because of this, our psychosocial recovery coaching Geelong is built entirely around your specific strengths and what you want your life to look like.

This is a NDIS funded support specifically for folks whose disability stems from a mental health condition. We aren't here to boss you around or tell you what to do. Our job is to listen. We figure out your goals and help you build the routines and confidence to move forward.

Our coaches bring genuine empathy to every conversation. We take the time to learn who you are—not just what your NDIS plan says—because generic care is useless.

What your recovery coaching can include

Your recovery isn't going to look like anyone else's. So, your coaching adapts to whatever matters most right now.

  • Mentoring that focuses heavily on recovery. We want to build your belief that you can move forward.
  • Building a recovery plan that is realistic and entirely yours.
  • Figuring out daily routines so getting through the week feels manageable.
  • Sorting out practical coping strategies for when your emotional regulation slips.
  • Getting you out into the community so you feel less alone.
  • Building your independence so you can start making the big calls in your own life.
  • Connecting you directly with clinical mental health services so nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Setting goals that you care about.
  • Making sure your family and carers are supported and moving in the same direction.
  • Teaming up with your Support Coordinator so everyone is on the same page.

Not sure what kind of help you need yet? That's fine. We are here to answer questions and figure out a path forward at a pace that doesn't overwhelm you.

Who can join our recovery coaching programs?

We offer these programs across Geelong and Melbourne for NDIS participants dealing with a psychosocial disability—meaning it comes from a mental health condition that massively impacts how you live day-to-day.

This kind of coaching might be exactly what you need if you are:

  • An NDIS participant managing a psychosocial disability.
  • Trying to grab the reins and take more control over your independence.
  • Someone who needs a dedicated coach to build a genuine, recovery-enabling relationship with.
  • Juggling complex trauma or massive life transitions because of your mental health.
  • Working toward goals like getting a job, moving out, or just connecting with people locally.
  • A family member or carer trying to support someone under the NDIS.

No matter where you are starting from, you deserve support that actually fits.

Why choose OdysseyCare

This business didn't start in a boardroom. Leah Kolega, our founder, is a mum to four kids—one of whom is a NDIS participant. She spent over 15 years working in mental health, disability, and the justice system. She built OdysseyCare because she got tired of generic services and wanted a place that treated people with compassion and reliability.

That exact mindset drives our psychosocial recovery coaching Melbourne:

  • We match you with a coach based on personality and interests, not just whoever is on the roster. Connection matters.
  • Trauma-informed practice isn't a buzzword. It's how we keep the environment safe and empowering for folks with complex needs.
  • We don't operate in a vacuum. We actively collaborate with your family, your doctors, and your Support Coordinator.
  • Recovery doesn't clock out at 5 PM. We offer ongoing support outside standard hours if we agree on it beforehand.
  • We have deep roots across Geelong and Melbourne, so we know exactly who to call when you need to be linked into local clinical services.
  • We aren't just ticking off a service agreement. We build lasting relationships because that is how real recovery starts.
