Psychosocial recovery coaching
Living with a psychosocial disability can feel overwhelming, isolating, and at times exhausting. You should never have to face it alone. Our recovery coaches are here beside you, for you, at every stage of your journey.
Supporting you to live a full and meaningful life
At OdysseyCare, we understand that navigating mental health and psychosocial disability in everyday life is not simple. It can be confusing, emotionally draining, and hard to know where to start. That is why our psychosocial recovery coaching services are built around you, your goals, your strengths, and your recovery journey.
Psychosocial recovery coaching is an NDIS-funded support designed for participants whose disability arises from a mental health condition. It is not about telling you what to do. It is about working alongside you, listening to what matters, understanding your goals, and helping you develop the strategies, routines, and confidence to move forward.
Our dedicated recovery coaches bring skilled coaching, genuine care, and real understanding to every session. We take the time to know you, not just your NDIS plan, because the right support should always truly fit.
What your recovery coaching can include
Every person's recovery journey is different, and so is the support we provide. Your coaching is tailored to what matters most to you right now and can grow and change as you do.
Recovery-focused coaching and mentoring: building your motivation, confidence, and belief in your own ability to move forward
Personalised recovery plan: working with you to design a plan that is meaningful, achievable, and truly yours
Daily routines and structure: creating stability so day-to-day life feels more manageable
Emotional regulation and coping strategies: practical tools to help you manage difficult moments as they arise
Social connection and community engagement: building meaningful relationships and feeling less alone
Capacity and independence building: developing the skills and decision-making abilities to live life on your own terms
Linking with mental health and other services: connecting you to the right supports so nothing falls through the cracks
Goal setting and wellbeing: recovery goals built around what you actually want for your life
Family and carer support: your whole support network moving in the same direction
Coordination with your support coordinator: where both are included in your NDIS plan, we make sure everything works together for you
Not sure which supports are right for you? That is okay. Our team is here to listen, answer your questions, and help you figure out the best path forward, at a pace that feels right for you.

This support may be right for you if you are:
An NDIS participant living with a psychosocial disability arising from a mental health condition
Someone who wants to take more control of your life and build greater independence
A participant who would benefit from a genuine, recovery enabling relationship with a dedicated coach
Someone managing complex challenges as a result of their psychosocial disability, including trauma or significant life transitions
A participant with goals around community connection, employment, or independent living
Families and carers supporting a loved one with a psychosocial disability under the NDIS
Wherever you are in your journey, and whatever that journey looks like, you deserve support that truly fits.
Why choose OdysseyCare
OdysseyCare was built on lived experience, not just professional knowledge, but a real understanding of what it means to navigate disability, mental health, and the NDIS in everyday life. Our Founder and Director, Leah Kolega, is a mother of four, one of whom is an NDIS participant. With over 15 years across the mental health, disability, community, and family services sectors, she built OdysseyCare to be the service she wished had existed, genuine, reliable, compassionate, and truly focused on people.
That same commitment is at the heart of every recovery coaching program we deliver:
Person-centred matching - we carefully match you with a recovery coach based on your personality, interests, goals, and support needs. Strong, respectful relationships are essential to meaningful recovery and we take that seriously.
Trauma-informed, strengths-based practice - our coaches create safe, empowering environments for people managing complex mental health challenges. Always working from your strengths, never against them.
We work collaboratively - we do not work in isolation. We work alongside you, your families, carers, support coordinator, and other services, because the best outcomes happen when everyone is working together.
Ongoing support, not just sessions - recovery does not stop between appointments. We provide ongoing support and are available beyond standard business hours where agreed, because we know your journey does not pause.
Strong ties across Geelong and Melbourne - we are deeply connected to local mental health services, community organisations, and other supports, so when you need to be linked in, we know exactly who to connect you with.
We don't just deliver a service. We build relationships that last, because we believe that is where real recovery begins.
