Our Story
Brighter Behaviour Co was born from a simple but powerful idea: all behaviour is communication, and understanding it can transform lives. Our founder, Katie, knows this not just professionally, but personally. As the guardian of her adult sibling, an NDIS participant, she has navigated the complexities of disability and mental health systems firsthand. These experiences, combined with her extensive background in childcare, nursing, education, counselling, and psychology, highlighted a gap in person-centred, practical, and compassionate behaviour support.
Katie created Brighter Behaviour Co to fill that gap, offering evidence-based, trauma-informed support that focuses on building skills, independence, and quality of life, rather than just reducing behaviours of concern. Every plan, strategy, and session is designed with the individual at its heart, and with the people around them empowered and equipped to provide consistent, safe, and meaningful support.
At Brighter Behaviour Co, our vision is simple: to make life brighter. We do this by listening, understanding, and creating positive ways forward - because every person deserves to be supported, seen, and empowered to thrive.
Meet our founder
Katie is the heart and driving force behind Brighter Behaviour Co. Her journey into behaviour support is shaped by both lived and professional experience. As the appointed guardian of her adult sibling, who is an NDIS participant, Katie has gained first-hand insight into the challenges of navigating disability and mental health systems.
Professionally, Katie has worked across a range of people-focused roles, including childcare educator, enrolled nurse, teacher aide, counsellor, and registered provisional psychologist. She holds qualifications in Early Years Education, Nursing, Psychology, Counselling, and Social Science. This combination of personal and professional experience gives Katie a unique perspective on what truly works - practical, compassionate, and person-centred support that makes a real difference.
Katie founded Brighter Behaviour Co to fill an important gap: providing evidence-based, trauma-informed behaviour support that not only reduces behaviours of concern but also empowers individuals, builds skills, and supports the people around them. Her passion is driven by a belief that every behaviour is communication, and that by listening and understanding, we can create safer, more meaningful, and brighter outcomes for everyone.
