Our approach

The practice works against a deficit model, instead emphasising strengths and student success. Sessions are tailored to individual needs and may be delivered in individual formats or small group settings, including Lego Therapy, Social-Emotional Learning and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). The practice welcomes clients of all ages and from diverse backgrounds, and offers specific support services for those with Mental Health Care Plans, NDIS participants and private clients.
