Finding a supportive and compassionate community when you, your child and your family need it the most

As a parent or carer, when you see your child hurting emotionally, it can be one of the most challenging places to find yourself in. It can leave you feeling helpless and overwhelmed, not to mention feeling as though you’re ‘not good enough’.

Finding the right support for yourself and your child can be a difficult process, especially when you are entrusting the care of your child and your family to another person. It is important for you to feel safe and supported, respected and seen, and as though you are part of a community.

Not your typical counselling service

As our name suggests, we aim to provide a nurturing and supportive environment in which to assist children, parents, and carers to become the best version of themselves.

Our Commitment

We are committed to listening to you and working with you to ensure you are receiving the best support to reach your goals. We recognise there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to children’s therapy, parent/carer support, or family support and we aspire to provide therapeutic services which are specific to the needs of your family.

We offer playful approaches within a place of emotional safety, to support children, parents, and carers to express themselves and their feelings, learn more about themselves, and grow toward their full potential

We understand parents and carers are an integral part of children’s therapy and as such, we ensure they are included, consulted, and informed at every step along the way. We also highly encourage parents and carers to engage in targeted parent consultations to be able to continue to support their child at home

With a holistic approach to children’s therapy, parents and carers can build stronger relationships with their child, while their child is on their own healing journey, and create real and long-lasting change within the family

Our Services

We offer a range of therapeutic services for children and parents/carers, including Play Therapy, children’s counselling, and parent/carer support and education programs.
