Private Behavioural Intervention. Personally Delivered.
For families with young men aged 15–25 facing serious behavioural, family or adolescent challenges when conventional approaches have stopped working.
WHO THIS IS FOR
When conventional approaches have stopped working
For families with young men aged 15–25 where behaviour has become difficult to manage, relationships have deteriorated, or previous attempts to resolve the situation have not produced lasting change.
This work is particularly suited to families who have reached the point where a more direct, individual and highly personalised intervention is required.
Not Suitable For
My work is not appropriate for those families seeking minimal involvement, low-intensity support or passive guidance.
Active engagement and commitment to change are required.
BEHAVIOURAL INTERVENTIONS
Damon Bachegalup
Family & Adolescent Behavioural Consultant
26+ years working directly with families and young men.
Identifying the problem. Changing the dynamic.
I work directly with the young man and his family to understand what is driving the current difficulties, identify the patterns keeping the situation stuck and establish practical strategies for meaningful change.
The objective is not simply to manage behaviour.
It is to change the dynamic and give the family a sustainable way forward.

Interventions When Conventional Support Hasn't Been Enough
Disconnection → Direction
My client’s son had become disconnected from his family, his responsibilities and his future.
I created a decisive behavioural reset through a 1:1 residential in Spain, removing him from his familiar environment to interrupt established patterns and introduce structure, accountability and personal responsibility.
Within the first week, his engagement began to shift. Motivation started to rebuild. He began taking greater ownership of his choices and his future.
“Working with Damon gave our family a sense of calm and direction that had been missing for a long time. His approach is direct, discreet and incredibly personal. Within the first few weeks, we began to see a real shift in our son’s attitude, communication and willingness to engage. Most importantly, we felt more confident as parents and had a clearer structure for moving forward as a family.”

A Family’s Experience
When influence is lost and boundaries no longer work, a different level of intervention may be required.
Families Typically Report
School refusal: Initial re-engagement often begins within 2–4 weeks, with sustained attendance developing over the following weeks.
Defiance and authority: Noticeable reductions in conflict and defiance can occur within 1–3 weeks, as boundaries, expectations and accountability are re-established.
Risk behaviours: Families may see early reductions within the first few weeks, with meaningful and sustained change requiring continued structure and follow-through.
Home environment: Greater structure, stability and clearer parental authority can begin to emerge within the first 1–2 weeks.
4 FAMILIES
26 Years of experience.
Working directly with families and young men.
Maximum intensive engagements accepted each year.
For families facing behavioural situations where conventional support is no longer enough.
Interventions
There is no standard programme.
I work personally with each family to understand what is happening, identify what needs to change and determine the most appropriate form of intervention.
For some families, this begins online. For others, it requires intensive one-to-one work in person.
A Deliberately Limited Practice
I work with no more than four intensive family engagements each year, allowing me to remain personally involved throughout the work.
