A Mental Health Support Worker in Perth for Everyday Life
Experienced Support. Genuine Connection. Your Life, Your Way.
Practical, non-clinical support to help you manage day to day — at your own pace.
Living with a mental health condition or psychosocial disability can make everyday things — routines, appointments, getting out, staying connected — feel harder than they should.
I'm Samuel, an independent support worker in Perth with more than 9 years of experience.
As an independent mental health support worker, I offer consistent, one-to-one support built around you: practical, patient and judgement-free.
Non-Clinical, Recovery-Oriented Support
It's important to be clear about what I do and don't offer. I'm a support worker, not a clinician. I don't provide therapy, counselling, diagnosis or clinical treatment. What I do provide is practical, everyday support that works alongside any clinical care you already have.
My support is recovery-oriented and led by you. The focus is on the ordinary things that help life feel steadier — routine, motivation, getting out, and staying connected to the people and activities that matter.
How I Can Help Day to Day
Everyday psychosocial support looks different for everyone. Depending on your circumstances, it might include:
Routine & Structure
A hand to build and keep gentle daily routines that make things feel more manageable.
Getting Out
Support and encouragement to leave the house, run errands and re-engage with the community.
Connection
Company and conversation to help ease isolation and stay socially connected.
Everyday Tasks
Practical support with day-to-day activities when motivation or energy is low.
Appointments & Errands
Support to plan for and get to appointments and everyday commitments.
Respite for Family
Reliable support that also gives family and carers a break.
Personal care, medication and clinical services are not offered.
What Psychosocial Disability Support Means
‘Psychosocial disability’ is the term used when a mental health condition affects someone's everyday functioning — the practical business of daily life, relationships and participation. Support for psychosocial disability is about rebuilding confidence and capacity in those everyday areas, at a pace that suits the person.
That's exactly the kind of steady, practical, one-to-one support I provide — the same familiar person, week to week.
Mental Health Support and the NDIS
Many people access psychosocial support through the NDIS. Self-managed and plan-managed participants can usually choose their own support workers, including an independent provider. How support can be arranged depends on your plan and circumstances. Learn more on the NDIS page.
Steady, practical support — at your own pace.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you a psychologist or counsellor?
No. I'm an independent support worker, not a clinician. I don't provide therapy, counselling or clinical treatment. My support is practical and everyday, and works alongside any clinical care you already have.
What can a mental health support worker help with?
Everyday things — building routine, staying motivated, getting out of the house, attending appointments, and staying socially connected. The aim is steady, practical support that helps day-to-day life feel more manageable.
What is psychosocial disability support?
It's support for people whose mental health affects their everyday functioning. Rather than clinical treatment, it focuses on rebuilding confidence and capacity in daily life, relationships and community participation, at the person's own pace.
Can NDIS funding be used for mental health support?
Often, yes — through psychosocial disability supports such as assistance with daily life and community participation. Self-managed and plan-managed participants can usually engage an independent support worker. It depends on your plan and circumstances.
What if I'm in crisis?
I'm not a crisis or emergency service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 000. For free 24/7 support you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636. You'll find more services on our Perth support resources page.
