🤝Who We Support
💙Young People on the NDIS -
Emotional Regulation & Life Skills Support
We provide trauma-informed counselling, community access, and life skills development for young people on the NDIS. Our goal is to build emotional regulation, independence, and confidence through consistent, person-centred support. We work closely with families and support coordinators to ensure holistic outcomes.
🏠 Relational Support for Young People in Care
Transitions in residential care, foster care, or other placements can be overwhelming. We offer consistent, relational support that prioritises felt safety, emotional regulation, and resilience. Our trauma-informed approach creates a safe space for young people to process their experiences and prepare for a healthy future.
🌱 Support for Kids & Teens with Anxiety
We help kids and teens break through anxiety, emotional shutdown, and disconnection. Using ACT, CBT, and DBT-informed tools, we guide young people to explore their emotions, values, and goals—fostering calm, confidence, and stronger family connection.
🌱 What Makes Us Different?
Holistic Wellbeing
We go beyond quick fixes by integrating emotional regulation strategies and practical life skills to support the whole person. Our holistic counselling approach addresses environment, community, and social connection—fostering deep resilience and long-term wellbeing for young people.
Trauma-Informed & Person-Centered Counselling
Safety is the foundation for growth. Our trauma-informed youth counselling recognises that challenging behaviour is often a nervous system response. We meet each young person where they are, using person-centred support to build therapeutic relationships and achieve meaningful goals.
