Hello

Hello, my name is Stuart Rutter and welcome to my new website. I am a Registered National Disability Insurance Scheme Provider and Social Worker. My organisation is called “Rutter Social Work Services”. I provide counselling and disability supports to NDIS participants. My support items include Therapeutic Supports for various mental health issues including Depression, Anxiety, Social Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Other support items are Access to Community, Social and Recreational Activities and Assistance with Self-Care Activities for building life skills and confidence.

I have a lived experience of disability which helps me to offer empathy and encouragement and to connect with participants. I understand their needs and goals and have a good working knowledge of NDIS supports and services. My goal is to support participants with a person centred approach to give them more “Choice and Control” and “Independence and Functioning” to enjoy a fulfilling life. I want to show people living with disability there is hope. Hope for independence, hope for a positive future and hope for a meaningful life.

I gained great satisfaction from completing my BacheIor of Social Work in Adelaide. I have worked as a Peer Support Worker and Life Skills Worker in Community Mental Health Services. My own NDIS plan enables me to run my own business under the NDIS as well. I am both a participant as well as a provider of NDIS supports and services. My journey has given me a goal. I want to use my training in counselling to help others. The techniques of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Mindfulness have helped me so much along the way. I want to use my lived experience of disability to give others a sense of purpose and hope on their journey to wellbeing.
