Resilience fatigue.

"I dream of never being called resilient again in my life.
I’m exhausted by strength. I want support. I want softness. I want ease.
I want to be amongst kin. Not patted on the back for how well..."
(Zandashé L’Oreal Brown)

🌱 I offer counselling and expressive arts therapy for when you're ready to stop performing strength — and start being supported.

🌿 You don’t have to be resilient here.
You just have to arrive.

With gratitude,
Olga from Spring to Mind | Coffs Harbour

🎨 Art therapy is a unique journey for every person, every story, every gesture. 🌿

Sometimes words aren’t enough — and that’s where art can speak for and with us.
Through creativity, movement, music and curiosity, expressive arts therapy offers a safe, supportive space to reconnect with yourself, process emotions, and grow in your own way.

At Spring to Mind, I offer trauma-informed counselling and expressive arts therapy for children, teens, and adults — supporting emotional wellbeing, resilience, identity, and self-expression.

Explore grief, healing, and human connection. 💬✨

A couple of weeks ago, I offered an art therapy workshop titled "Growing Around Grief." Using watercolours, participants created small artworks that reflected their personal journey through grief. These were added to a communal piece, symbolising how our healing journeys are both uniquely individual and collectively shared.

Strangers sat together, made art, shared stories, and supported one another—a beautiful reminder of how creativity can bring connection, even in times of loss.

Thank you to the organisers of the Coffs Coast End Of Life Care for creating space through the Expo for these important conversations and experiences.

At Spring to Mind 🌱, we offer compassionate support for those navigating aging, grief, and end-of-life transitions through counselling, expressive arts therapies, and caregiver training—all with a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach. 🤝

You're not alone.

🖤 "When I die, I..."

At the Death and Dying Expo, I created an interactive chalkboard artwork inviting people to complete this powerful sentence. What followed was spontaneous, moving, and deeply human.

✨ Take a moment to watch — you might find yourself reflecting on what matters most. in the small, beautiful things: planting a tree, helping others, having a puppy dog 🌱💬

This video captures the heart of what people shared.
✨ Take a moment to watch — you might just find yourself reflecting on what matters most.
