About Bloom Thrive Grow
Welcome to Bloom Thrive Grow
People first. Always.
Ethical support. Genuine compassion. Every person at the centre.
At Bloom Thrive Grow, I believe no individual or family should have to navigate disability, neurodivergence or mental health challenges alone.
I’m Dee, an independent Support Coordinator and Disability Support Worker with 19 years of professional experience and lived experience in mental health and neurodiversity.
My approach is grounded in integrity, compassion and a strong commitment to ethical, person-centred support. I believe people deserve to be heard, respected and supported to make their own choices, with their rights, dignity and individual goals at the heart of every decision.
I work alongside children, teenagers, adults and their families, providing personalised support that recognises each person's strengths, respects their individuality and looks beyond diagnoses or labels.
Whether you're looking for Support Coordination, Recovery Coaching, in-home or community support, or guidance navigating the NDIS, my goal is to help you feel understood, empowered and connected to the right supports.
I believe in building a village around each person — one where individuals and families feel supported, valued and never alone.
Support Services
Support Co-ordination
Support Coordination is about connecting you with the people, services, and community that genuinely fit your life. I take the time to understand your goals, strengths, communication style, and what matters most to you—so your support network is built around you, not the other way around.
My role is to help you:
Understand and implement your NDIS plan.
Find providers who align with your values and needs.
Coordinate a collaborative, ethical support team.
Build confidence to make informed choices and self-advocate.
Connect with community supports that create belonging beyond the NDIS.
Every person deserves a village—a network of people who see you, respect you, and walk alongside you as you thrive.
Assistance with Daily Life
Daily life skills focus on building confidence and independence in everyday living. I teach practical skills through real-life experiences, at each person's own pace, while respecting sensory, communication, and learning differences.
This may include cooking, shopping, budgeting, personal organisation, household tasks, travel training, appointment preparation, emotional regulation, communication, and executive functioning—supporting people to live more independently in ways that are meaningful to them.
Assistance with Social & Community Participation
Community participation is about creating meaningful opportunities to connect with the world in ways that feel safe, enjoyable, and authentic. Through a neuroaffirming approach, I support people to explore their interests, build relationships, access their community, and develop a genuine sense of belonging—without the expectation to mask or change who they are.
Examples include social groups, libraries, beaches, cafés, creative activities, public transport, volunteering, and pursuing hobbies that reflect each person's interests and goals
