​1. Trauma-Informed and Client-Centred Practice

​

We create a safe, empowering environment that respects each individual’s pace, choices, and lived experiences. Our approach acknowledges the impact of trauma and is built around the principles of:

• Safety (emotional, physical, relational)

• Trustworthiness

• Collaboration

• Empowerment and voice

• Cultural sensitivity​

​

2. Flexible Modalities

​

Participants may choose from:

• Room-based counselling (in-person or telehealth)

• Nature-based sessions

• Animal-Assisted Therapy (including Equine-Assisted Therapy)
  Services are tailored to client goals, preferences, and nervous system regulation needs.

​

3. Relational and Somatic Approaches

​

Therapeutic techniques include:

• Somatic Experiencing (planned training)

• Mindfulness, grounding, and nervous system regulation strategies

• Cognitive and interpersonal therapies

• Narrative and strengths-based counselling

• Psychoeducation for trauma and emotional resilience

​

4. Partnership and Collaboration

​

• Goal-setting and support planning are collaborative.

• We encourage connection with support networks, families, and allied professionals.

• We work closely with referring organisations (e.g., RSLs, Open Arms, GPs, NDIS coordinators) where appropriate.

​

5. Accessibility and Inclusivity

​

• Services can be delivered in person, outdoors, or online.

• We strive to make therapy accessible for women, veterans, carers, and neurodivergent individuals.

• We offer sensory-sensitive, calming environments that honour individual needs.

​

6. Outcome-Oriented Support

​

• Regular reviews of progress toward goals

• Clear communication and transparent invoicing

• Feedback is actively sought to improve services
