Transforming Behaviours, Empowering Families

Challenging behaviour in children can feel overwhelming for families and impact everyday life. Whether it’s emotional outbursts, defiance, or withdrawal, these behaviours often signal unmet needs, unspoken frustrations, or hidden struggles.
 

At Better You HQ, we specialise in helping children and families uncover the “why” behind challenging behaviours and create lasting solutions. Through a compassionate, person-centred approach, we equip families with the tools and strategies to support their child’s growth and resilience.
 

Our evidence-based methods include:

  • In-depth Behavioural Assessments: Understand the root causes of behaviours through Functional Behaviour Analysis (FBA).

  • Tailored Support Plans: Build personalised strategies that align with your child’s unique needs and circumstances.

  • Collaborative Solutions: Work closely with parents, educators, and professionals to ensure consistent support across environments.

​

Together, we can help your child navigate their challenges, build confidence, and thrive in every aspect of their life.

Understanding Challenging Behaviour

Challenging behaviour often reflects a child’s way of communicating something they can’t express in words. It’s not about defiance or disobedience—it’s about unmet needs, emotional struggles, or sensory challenges.

​

Common causes of challenging behaviour include:

  • Emotional Regulation Difficulties: Frustration, anxiety, or overwhelm.

  • Sensory Processing Issues: Difficulty managing noise, touch, or other sensory input.

  • Communication Barriers: Struggling to express needs or emotions effectively.

  • Developmental Delays or Disorders: Conditions like autism, ADHD, or anxiety affecting how they interact with the world.

​​

When we view these behaviours as communication, we can respond with understanding and provide meaningful support.

From Triggers to Transformation

In therapy, we address challenging behaviour by:
 

  • Identify triggers that set off challenging behaviour.

  • Explore patterns to understand when and where it occurs.

  • Uncover underlying causes driving the behaviour.

  • Develop personalised strategies to address root issues and promote positive change.

​​

This helps create personalised strategies to foster positive, lasting change.

Our Person-Centred Approach: Tailored Strategies for Lasting Change

Here's what makes our expert approach different:
 

  • Person-Centred Focus: We put the child at the centre of everything we do. We listen closely to their needs, and those of their family, to create a personalised plan that feels comfortable and realistic.

  • Collaborative Care: We work closely with parents, teachers, and other professionals to create a supportive, consistent environment. This ensures that children receive continuous support at school, at home, and in social settings.

  • Measurement-based Care: Using screeners and functional assessments, we identify the root causes of challenging behaviour. Whether it's emotional needs, sensory overload, or communication struggles, understanding the ‘why’ behind the behaviour helps us craft specific interventions that work.

Our Expertise in Neurodiversity and Behavioural Therapy

With a deep understanding of neurodiversity—including ADHD, autism, and other developmental or cognitive challenges—we tailor strategies that support a child’s unique way of experiencing and interacting with the world.
 

  • Specialised Techniques for Neurodivergent Children: Our training and experience in special education and behaviour analysis mean we’re equipped to support children with a wide range of needs, including sensory processing difficulties, social communication challenges, and emotional regulation.

  • Proven Behavioural Strategies: We integrate evidence-based practices, such as positive behaviour support (PBS), functional communication training (FCT), and social-emotional learning (SEL), to teach new skills and manage challenging behaviours.

  • Holistic Support: We understand that each aspect of a child’s life influences their behaviour—whether at school, at home, or with peers. Our approach takes into account all these factors, offering integrated, holistic support that makes a difference.
     

By using a combination of tailored assessments, collaborative care, and therapeutic expertise, we help children build essential life skills and overcome behavioural challenges—giving them the tools they need to thrive in every part of their life.
