Expert Behaviour Therapy in Canterbury

Compassionate, evidence-based support to help your child navigate emotions, build skills, and thrive.

Welcome to daar's Behaviour Therapy service in Canterbury, NSW. We understand that challenging behaviours can be overwhelming for both children and their families. When a child struggles to communicate their needs or regulate their emotions, it can impact their daily life, schooling, and relationships.

As a trusted, NDIS-registered allied health provider, our dedicated Canterbury behaviour therapists are here to help. We specialise in identifying the root causes of challenging behaviours and equipping your family with practical, strengths-based strategies to foster positive change and independence.

How Our Canterbury Behaviour Therapists Can Help

We believe that all behaviour is a form of communication. Our clinicians use evidence-based techniques to understand why a behaviour is occurring and develop a highly personalised, family-centred plan.

Our NDIS behaviour services in Canterbury include:

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)

We create comprehensive, NDIS-aligned behaviour support plans that focus on reducing harm, teaching new replacement skills, and improving the overall quality of life for the individual and their family.

Applied Behaviour Therapy (ABA)

Using proven, structured behavioural techniques, we help children strengthen their communication, reduce challenging behaviours, and build vital daily living skills.

Emotional Regulation Strategies

Helping children understand their feelings and equipping them with the tools they need to manage frustration, anxiety, and sensory overload calmly.

Social Communication Skills

Teaching kids how to appropriately interact with peers, take turns in conversation, and understand non-verbal cues.

Routine & Transitions

Providing strategies to make morning routines, school drop-offs, and transitions between activities smoother and less stressful.

Caregiver & Educator Coaching

We upskill parents, teachers, and support workers, ensuring that the strategies implemented in therapy are maintained at home and in the classroom.

Flexible Therapy Delivered Your Way in Canterbury

Consistency is key when it comes to behaviour support. To ensure your child gets the most out of their therapy, we offer flexible delivery options that fit smoothly into your family’s routine:

Mobile Home Visits: Behaviours often happen at home. Our clinicians can visit your home in Canterbury, Ashbury, Campsie, Earlwood, and surrounding suburbs to work on routines and strategies in your child’s natural environment.
School, Preschool & Daycare Visits: A consistent approach is vital for success. We regularly visit early learning centres and schools in the Canterbury-Bankstown area to train educators, observe classroom dynamics, and support your child's learning.
Telehealth Options: Convenient, secure online consultations for parent coaching, plan management, and ongoing support from anywhere.
