PBS (Positive Behaviour Support) and psychology therapy sessions both support emotional and behavioural wellbeing; but they have different focuses and approaches:

  • PBS is a proactive, practical support plan for people whose behaviours may impact their quality of life or others around them. A PBS practitioner works to understand why certain behaviours happen (the triggers, needs, or patterns) and creates strategies to reduce challenging behaviours and build skills in daily life. PBS is often delivered in home, school, or community settings and is commonly used in NDIS plans.
  • Psychology sessions, on the other hand, are typically one-on-one talk-based therapies delivered by registered psychologists. These sessions help individuals explore their emotions, thoughts, past experiences, and mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, or trauma; often using therapeutic approaches like CBT, ACT, or mindfulness.

In short:
PBS is behaviour-focused, skill-building, and environment-based.
Psychology is emotion-focused, insight-building, and therapy-based.
