Our new website is now up and running!

Head on over for information about our therapists, a link to our referral form and up coming events and programs and so much more.

A massive thank you to Lucy Humphries Photography for taking amazing team photos and photos of our clinic especially for our brand new website.

Our qualified Child & Adolescent Counsellor, Cindy Newman, is passionate about supporting individuals, in all areas of their lives, including the families who are often needing the support just as much as the individuals themselves. Feel free to contact Cindy to discuss the options she can provid.....

Sometimes we forget the simple strategies, especially when we are burnout and exhausted from the daily grind. Lean on your strengths, knowledge and skills in times like this and remember to breath.

Loving therapy

Training these beautiful educators at Green Leaves Port Macquarie showed how much they are motivated to increase their own education in working and supporting our little people in care, who are experiencing challenging behaviours and emotional and sensory dysregulation.

21/03/2024

Delicate Minds is now introducing a new holistic therapeutic service, Art Therapy. Our clinicians work primarily with young children, preteens and adolescents in our clinical space in Port Macquarie.

We are very excited to announce our new therapist, Shani, who will be working with our clients and families in experiencing a calm safe environment working with clay sculpting, weaving and wax.

There are multiple benefits to art therapy including calming our nervous system.

This is fundamental for clients who experience anxiety and emotional dysregulation and allows clients to openly communicate feelings and emotions through artist expression, whilst providing a sensory experience.

Shani has many qualifications in providing this new therapeutic service and we are looking forward to collaborating with her skills and knowledge further to provide immense support and care for our clients and families.

For further information, do not hesitate to reach out via email.

Warm regards, Cindy.

We wrapped up our final day of school holiday programs today by exploring nature. A typical sausage sizzle, fire toasting marshmallows, tree rope swings, roaming the bush trails and dipping into the icy cold, crystal clear water stream. I think there will be some very tired peeps tonight.

Thanks to all our participants enjoying the diversity of activities we offer in our programs each school holidays. See you all next holidays. Cindy and our amazing team at Delicate Minds - Support by Choice.

Some new experiences in our School Holiday Programs this week. We took our inquisitively minded little people to The Dairy in John’s River, where they taught us the processes of living and working a real dairy farm, including bottle feeding the babies, a sneak peek inside the milking sheds and learning how to churn cream into butter. Thanks to Emily & Matt The Dairy, John's River for having us at your beautiful property.

A very cute clay kitty gifted to me by one of my clients. The thought, the organisation and the executive function to complete this little gift made my day 🩵

A delightful and exciting example to share from a mum of a 6 yo little boy with social challenges.

“he was at a party on the weekend for one of his little friends birthday and I noticed him at one stage looking a bit lost, not knowing where to be or what to do, so I just said to him ….. buddy, is your body in the group, and he immediately knew how to re-join his friends”

This language is an important component of our Social Explorers Program and when parent and carers adopt the language learnt in therapy, improved social connection and reduced anxiety is observed.

Our social programs were released last week, we have a few spots remaining in different groups, so email admin to secure your child’s spot today.
