🤝Who We Support
💙Young People on the NDIS -
Emotional Regulation & Life Skills Support
We provide therapeutic counselling, community access, and life skills support for young people on the NDIS. Our goal is to empower them with the tools and confidence to live independently and participate fully in their community. We work collaboratively with families to ensure a holistic, person-centered approach.
🏠 Consistent, Relational Support for Young People in Care
We offer consistent, relational support for young people in residential care, foster care, and other placements. These can be huge transitions, and we provide a safe, non-judgmental space for them to process their feelings. Our trauma-informed approach is designed to help them build resilience and prepare for a healthy future by prioritising felt safety and emotional regulation.
🌱 Breaking Through Anxiety & Disconnection in Teens
We help young people break through the barriers that keep them feeling stuck. Our therapeutic approach provides practical mental health tools and guidance to explore their emotions, values, and goals, ultimately fostering greater confidence and calmness for the whole family.
🌱 What Makes Us Different?
Holistic Wellbeing
We move beyond quick fixes by integrating practical emotional regulation strategies and life skills to support the whole person. Our comprehensive support addresses all areas of a person's life—from environment and community to social connections—fostering deep resilience and long-term wellbeing.
Trauma-Informed & Person-Centered
Our approach is rooted in the belief that safety is the foundation for growth. We prioritize felt safety by recognising that challenging behaviour is a nervous system response. We meet every young person where they are, working therapeutically and collaboratively to achieve their goals and build therapeutic relationships
