Mirza is very passionate about helping participants and their families navigate through the everyday difficulties they experience. Behavioural difficulties present themselves in various forms and under certain conditions. Mirza likes to take an objective view of the situations and analyse the environments which contribute to behavioural difficulties, so that person centred strategies can be implemented that usually lead to a reduction of behaviours of concern, as such improving the quality of life for the participants and their families or persons involved.

Mirza has extensive experience with participants on the complex pathway, presenting dual (or a range of) diagnoses who exhibit severe and challenging behaviours, as well as participants with forensic backgrounds. He has also assisted many individuals to transition from long term institutionalised settings to community living (Supported Independent Living - SIL). Mirza’s main objective is to reduce or eliminate the use of restrictive practices while providing support to individuals and their families.
