Our counselling consultations provide a supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings with compassion and understanding. Each session is tailored to your unique journey, whether you need strategies for stress regulation, guidance with family dynamics or tools to strengthen resilience.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your personal growth, let’s talk about what you’d like to focus on in our first session.

Neuro Affirming

We celebrate neurodiversity and meet each child exactly where they are.

 

This is a space where your child is not expected to mask, change who they are, or fit into a box.

Play Based Therapy

For many children, play is how they process the world around them.
Through gentle, child led play and connection with our therapy dogs, we support emotional regulation, communication, and confidence in a way that feels natural and engaging.

Group Programs

Our small group sessions are designed to gently build social confidence in a supportive and understanding environment.
Children have the opportunity to connect with others, practice communication, and develop friendships, without the pressure that often comes with traditional social settings.

School Holiday Programs

Our school holiday sessions are designed to be fun, engaging, and supportive.
With themed activities, gentle structure, and the calming presence of our therapy dogs, children can build confidence, try new experiences, and create positive memories during the holidays.

​Here's what you can expect from your parent-only counselling session:​

  • Greater confidence in your parenting, with clear, practical strategies you can start using straight away

  • Tools to help you manage stress and overwhelm, so you can stay more grounded on the hard days

  • Support in building emotional resilience, so it feels easier to navigate the ups and downs

  • A deeper connection with your children through more easeful communication and understanding

  • A personalised plan that reflects your family, your values, and what actually feels realistic for you

When you leave, you’ll feel heard, supported, and clearer on your next steps, with simple, confidence-building ways to bring more calm, connection, and ease into your family life.

We begin with a parent-only session

This gives us the space to really understand your child, your concerns, and what is happening at home, without placing any pressure on your child to attend or participate straight away.

From there, we gently plan next steps together in a way that feels supportive, realistic, and tailored to your family.

Here's what you can expect from one on one counselling sessions:

  • A child led, neuroaffirming approach where your child feels safe, understood, and able to be themselves

  • Play based therapy that supports emotional expression, confidence, and skill building in a natural, engaging way

  • Gentle integration of Sage, our certified therapy dog, to support regulation, connection, and communication

  • Support in building emotional awareness, resilience, and practical coping tools for everyday life

  • A space that encourages confidence, independence, and growth at your child’s own pace

 

Alongside this, sessions are guided by evidence based approaches that support both children and families in understanding strengths, exploring values, and creating meaningful, lasting change. With her background as both a paediatric naturopath and counsellor, Sarah also considers the connection between emotional wellbeing, physical health, and the family environment, offering a more holistic level of support.

When you leave, you’ll feel reassured that your child is supported in a way that honours who they are, while building the skills and confidence they need to navigate the world in their own way.
