Practical and Accessible Therapeutic Support and Training

Making a real difference in everyday life—personally and professionally

Whether you are here for behaviour support, therapeutic support, or early childhood supports, CALMER helps bridge past and present, deepen understanding of the relationship between emotions and behaviour, and co-design safe, authentic environments where people and families can thrive.

The CALMER Approach is an evidence-informed, practical, everyday way of understanding human behaviour and emotions. It is based on a range of research and theoretical approaches which are drawn together to help support people with their behaviour and emotional regulation.

The team at the CALMER Approach is passionate about seeing people live their lives, connected with others and with the least restrictions to their participation.

Early Childhood Supports

Seeing the world through the child’s eyes to understand, connect with empathy and authenticity.

Therapeutic Supports

Everyone needs the right level of co-designed therapeutic support at the right time to succeed.

Behaviour Support

Behaviour is rarely random – it is shaped by a chain or events and contributing factors

Training

Where learning makes sense, feels real, inspires and leads to the changes you want to see in practice with empathy and authenticity.

What People Are Saying

I explored approaches like the Neurosequential Model, the Low Arousal Approach, and the Trauma Wisdom Circle — all of which added value, but still felt incomplete. What I love about CALMER is how it brings the research from all these pioneers and much more together into one approach.”

— Pam, Autistic parent and family educator

“It was good to hear a different approach… Very insightful, and justified a lot of unanswered questions.”

— Emma, Behaviour Support Practitioner

“We see this training as a significant milestone in our focus to continuously improve the quality of supports delivered to participants”.

NDIS Provider

“As the principles of your model are universal, I see a real strength of your model in helping others — carers, staff, and families — to understand and challenge assumptions, perceptions, and labels relating to the person they support or interact with.”

Michael, Psychiatrist

“I wasn’t sure about having yet another behaviour support plan… but you started from the beginning and helped us understand why the behaviours were escalating. You made it simple and practical—we feel like we have our life back.”

— Amy, Parent
