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 disability support worker based in Maitland NSW, 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 mental health support that recognises each person's strengths, respects their individuality, and looks beyond diagnoses or labels.
Whether you're seeking assistance as a NDIS funding recipient, 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
At Bloom Thrive Grow, we provide person-centred Support Coordination, helping individuals and families understand their NDIS plans, connect with the right services, and navigate the support system with confidence.
We work alongside you to build your support network, strengthen your independence, advocate for your needs, and work towards your goals — because people deserve to feel heard, supported and empowered.
Assistance with Daily Life
Daily life skills focus on building confidence and independence in everyday living, particularly for individuals who may benefit from disability support workers. As a trained professional in Maitland NSW, I teach practical skills through real-life experiences tailored to each person's unique pace, respecting sensory, communication, and learning differences. These essential skills may include cooking, shopping, budgeting, personal organisation, household tasks, travel training, appointment preparation, emotional regulation, and communication. By integrating mental health support into my approach and navigating NDIS funding, I strive to enhance executive functioning and ultimately support people in living more independently in ways that are meaningful to them as guided by their support coordinators.
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. As a disability support worker based in Maitland NSW, I utilize a neuroaffirming approach to support individuals in exploring their interests, building relationships, accessing their community, and developing a genuine sense of belonging—without the expectation to mask or change who they are. Through mental health support, I assist clients in navigating various avenues such as social groups, libraries, beaches, cafés, creative activities, public transport, volunteering, and pursuing hobbies that reflect each person's unique interests and goals, all while considering NDIS funding options that can enhance their experiences. Moreover, as a support coordinator, I ensure that individuals are empowered to fully engage with their communities.
