A massive thank you to who presented at last night’s Modalities in Maitland special interest group.

Ben presented Process Work: An Experiential Awareness Method for Finding Freedom and Meaning which fostered curiosity, playfulness and deep reflection in all of our participants.

We had a wonderful turnout of both in person and online therapists from near and far - which spoke to the interest in learning from each other.

✨ Amy’s 2025 Seva Team Highlights ✨

2025 has been a year full of learning, growth, and connection for me at SEVA House.

This year, I treasured the moments I got to spend with the SEVA team, even though our work schedules don’t always line up, it’s a reminder of how much I value our connection.

I also held the privilege of travelling to India with Michele and Cathy, exploring Yogic and Buddhist psychology and gaining new perspectives to bring into my work.

Towards the end of the year, our team completed Therapeutic Life Story Work training with Amy Payne of As Above So Below Psychology, which has a wonderful experience for our team and challenged ways we can bring more creativity and self-expression into our work.

And finally, ending the year celebrating together at our SEVA Christmas lunch, reflecting on growth, collaboration, and the small moments that matter.

This year has reminded me that growth comes from both shared experiences and individual exploration. I’m so grateful for the team I get to journey with at SEVA House.

✨ Ben’s 2025 Seva Team Highlights ✨

In 2025, Ben brought depth, steadiness and relational clarity into the SEVA House community through his work across therapy, supervision and upcoming training!

This year saw Ben:
• Supporting clients through profound relational shifts; including repairing marriages, safely exiting DV relationships, and cultivating assertiveness and self-trust. (Ben offers relationship counselling at SEVA House).

• Expanding his supervision offerings, providing thoughtful, grounded support to clinicians at different stages of practice

• Consulting to schools and preparing to commence work with a local preschool in 2026, supporting educators and systems from a trauma-informed lens

Looking ahead to 2026, Ben will be offering consultation to schools, alongside continued training, supervision and EMDR work (and possibly heading to Indonesia for a surf trip with bravery, an adventurous spirit and a strong survival instinct 🌊).

We’re deeply grateful for Ben’s contribution to SEVA House and the way he brings care, accountability and relational presence into every space he enters.

✨ Michele’s 2025 Highlight ✨
EMDR Intensives with Sound Healing

This year has brought so many highlights—from growing our company’s training arm to reaching more practitioners than ever. But my personal highlight? Introducing EMDR Intensives at Seva House and incorporating sound healing sessions at the end.

A Powerful Combination
I’ve always believed in EMDR’s transformative capacity but offering it as an intensive experience has opened up new possibilities. Clients move through trauma material in concentrated sessions—sometimes several hours or full days—creating momentum that would take months in traditional weekly therapy.

After facilitating several intensives, I noticed my clients needed something more. Their nervous systems were in a heightened state after deep trauma processing. They needed a way to integrate and ground before returning to their lives.
That’s when I was able to work with to offer sound healing sessions at the end of each intensive. This combination has been more powerful than I imagined.

Why It Works
After the EMDR Intensive, clients transition into the expert care of Sound & Spirit facilitators. The vibrations from singing bowls, gongs, throat chanting and chimes work on a level beyond words. Where EMDR reprocesses trauma, sound healing helps the nervous system recalibrate and settle.

What moves me most is watching clients reconnect with their wholeness. One client said, “The EMDR helped me process what happened to me. The sound healing helped me remember who I am underneath it all. It brought me home”

This work reminds me why I do what I do. Creating space for people to remember their courage and reclaim their sense of self.
And that has truly been my highlight of the year.
