Leadership shouldn't feel like performance. And yet, many of us are running on empty, holding it all together while quietly falling apart.

Leading Whole is a three-week wellbeing program for leaders and professionals who are ready to move beyond surface resilience and step into something more sustainable, more authentic, more whole.

Grounded in the PERMAH+ wellbeing model and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), this small group program creates space for guided reflection, mindfulness, and shared dialogue.

It's about reconnecting with your values, your strengths, and the kind of leadership that doesn't cost you your wellbeing.

Program Details:
📅 Three Wednesdays: 21 Jan, 28 Jan, 4 Feb 2026
⏰ 6–8pm
📍 SJP Wellbeing Hub, 3 Charlotte Street, Smithfield
💰 Introductory price: $75

Each participant also receives a one-on-one session with facilitator Elissa Graves, our intern counsellor completing her Master of Counselling.

Places are limited. Register your interest via the link in bio.

We’re a little late to the party…

The 12 Days of Christmas technically start on 12 December.
We’re aware of that 😌

But nervous systems don’t care much about dates.

So we’ve created something we think will still be genuinely helpful over the holiday period.

We’re sharing 12 short, two ish minute nervous system and therapeutic reset practices, designed to support stress, overwhelm, emotional load and nervous system fatigue.

No equipment.
No long videos.
No pressure to do them all.

Just simple, practical tools delivered straight to your inbox, to use whenever you need them.

If you’d like to join Shani, Leanne and Elissa sharing Two Minute Reset activities, you can sign up via the link.

You’re welcome to start wherever you are, skip days, or come back to them later.

Support doesn’t need to be perfectly timed to be meaningful 🤍

Masking takes more energy than most people realise. Showing up as "fine" when you're not, keeping it together in public while managing chaos internally, performing productivity when your body is screaming for rest - that gap between who you present and who you actually are?

It's exhausting!

If you've been holding that space for too long, you don't have to keep doing it alone. Support doesn't require you to have it all figured out first. It just asks that you show up as you are.

December isn't festive for everyone. Behind the pressure to celebrate, many people are quietly navigating grief, overwhelm, relationship strain, financial stress, or simply trying to get through.

This piece is a gentle reminder that empathy costs nothing and can mean everything. Whether you're struggling or supporting someone who is, there's space here for what you're carrying.

We're taking a well-earned break over the holiday period and will be closed from 20 December to 4 January. Our team will be back and ready to support you from 5 January 2026.

If you need support during this time, please know that help is available 24/7. Swipe through for crisis support services and local mental health contacts.

We hope the coming weeks bring you moments of rest, connection, and whatever else you need.

Take care of yourselves.

So many of the people we support have lived through experiences that shaped how they see themselves - and how they relate to others. 🌱

At SJP Wellbeing, we work with adults, families, and young people navigating:
✨ Developmental and relational trauma
✨ Emotional regulation and identity challenges
✨ Neurodivergence and self-worth
✨ Anxiety, depression, and reactivity
✨ Relationship and workplace stress

There’s often overlap - because life isn’t neatly divided into “home” and “work,” or “past” and “present.”

Human beings are complex, and therapy should meet you there.

If you’re finding it hard to feel grounded, understood, or connected in your world, you’re not alone. Reach out to learn how we can support your wellbeing journey. 🌿

Workplaces are made up of people - and people need care.

Our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is designed with that in mind: a responsive, person-first approach to wellbeing that supports both individuals and teams to navigate stress, burnout, and workplace dynamics with compassion and clarity.

We know that meaningful support doesn’t come from a tick-box approach.
It’s built through trust, understanding, and access to qualified clinicians who meet people where they are.

If you’re a small business, not-for-profit, or larger organisation, our EAP packages are flexible, evidence-based, and tailored to your people - helping create cultures where wellbeing isn’t an afterthought, but part of the everyday.

Every ending deserves care. 🌿

Part four of our Person First Framework focuses on endings - creating space to reflect, honour growth, and say goodbye in ways that feel safe and empowering.

Having a coffee break with big bear here. We still haven’t landed on a name yet!

How cool is our waiting room?

Not so cool in temperature today though, might need to get the air con cranking nice and early with these high ceilings.
