Meet Natalija O’Connell
Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner
Natalija is a Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner with experience in complex behavioural and psychosocial support needs, including work within the justice system and with psychosocial disability. This informs how she considers environment, experience, relationships and wider support systems.
She focuses on understanding what behaviour is communicating—not simply stopping it—and works without judgment alongside participants, families and support teams to build practical strategies for everyday life. She values collaboration that promotes independence, quality of life and meaningful participation across the participant’s everyday support settings.
Her experience includes complex presentations, restrictive-practice reduction and strategies that prioritise dignity, autonomy and human rights. She has a strong interest in neurodevelopmental disability and continues professional development in this area.

What is this behaviour communicating?
What should we actually do?
When you feel like you’ve tried everything
The next step isn’t always another strategy
You have changed routines, tried rewards, adjusted demands and sought school or professional advice.
Family life feels like walking on eggshells
Behaviour changes after school
Everyone is offering different advice
You are unsure what to do next
This is not about blame. Behaviour has context, and effective support starts with understanding it.

What makes Behaviour Bridge different
A Behaviour Support Plan only works if people can actually use it.
