This trauma-informed group is designed to build essential skills to help you:
• regulate your nervous system
• manage emotions more effectively
• cope with stress, anxiety and overwhelm

Think of it as adding tools to your toolbox. This group focuses on skill-building, not trauma processing, so you won’t be asked to delve into past experiences.

Who is this group for?
Adults experiencing trauma exposure (single or complex), emotional overwhelm, hypervigilance, shutdown or dissociation, or difficulty regulating between individual therapy sessions.

Program format:
• 6 × 90-minute group sessions
• 8–10 participants
• A safe, supportive space with others who have similar experiences

This program may also help reduce the overall cost of therapy, as many core skills are learned in the group rather than individual sessions. You may also be eligible for an additional Medicare rebate for group therapy, on top of your Mental Health Care Plan.

Keep an eye on for more updates!

Therapy is not just talking; it’s a space for safety, being seen, and working with your whole experience. Therapy helps you explore patterns, regulate emotions, navigate grief, and develop skills to support your wellbeing.

Sometimes progress comes in ways you don’t expect. Therapy is a process designed to help you grow, build resilience, and live more fully.

Gender identity is a person’s innate, internal sense of gender. It may differ from their gender expression, pronouns, or s*x assigned at birth.
Gender affirmation means supporting and respecting a child’s internal sense of who they are.

So, how can you affirm your child’s gender?
Creating space for open listening, using their chosen name and pronouns, supporting exploration of expression, and providing an environment free from judgment all help children feel safe and seen.

Advocacy in schools, family settings, and healthcare spaces, along with ongoing learning about gender diversity, can also make a meaningful difference.
Affirmation is not about having all the answers. It’s about showing your child, again and again, that who they are is valued and respected.

- Gentle education about trauma and the nervous system
- Grounding, containment & regulation skills
- A personalised regulation plan
- Take-home workbook and practical tools

Who it’s for:
✔ Adults with trauma exposure
✔ People feeling overwhelmed or dysregulated

A meaningful way to affirm your child’s gender and s*xuality is to celebrate their chosen expression, identity, gender, and s*xual orientation. Feeling seen, respected, and accepted plays a powerful role in a child’s sense of safety and belonging.

There are so many more days of recognition, and some may feel especially meaningful or be uniquely suited to your child.

Taking time to research, learn together, and celebrate what matters to them can help your child feel visible, valued, and deeply supported.
