Nature plus Nurture - Counselling & Psychotherapy

01/06/2025

I am proud to announce that EMDR therapy is now available to clients both in the Wonthaggi clinic and via telehealth.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a structured approach to psychotherapy that helps people recover from distressing life experiences or trauma. EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that is shown to lessen time in therapy when compared to traditional talk-based therapies.

*EMDR for children will be integrated into play therapy sessions to support the healing process*

EMDR therapy is available to teens in the Wonthaggi clinic and to adults via telehealth.

Please call 0499 918 890 or email enquiry@natureplusnurture.com.au to discuss your needs.
You are welcome to ask questions and discuss suitability via a no-fee 10-minute phone consultation.

The New Year can be a great opportunity to reflect on the year that was, the challenges, achievements, and changes. However, for many, the new year can raise complex emotions, including expectations that you will get it right...this year, make good decisions, fix the problems, be a better parent, fix your finances, or create amazing relationships. It's also a time when restriction becomes the buzzword as many fall into the trap of unrealistic New Year resolutions, which can lead to feelings of failure and inadequacy.
How about this year you take one day at a time and focus on being uniquely YOU. Treat yourself with kindness and take courage by reaching out for professional support.

Creative and Experiential Therapies Belong in the NDIS

03/12/2024

Nature plus Nurture is proud to announce the opening of our new clinic in Mitcham (3132, Vic). This has been a huge undertaking amidst the ever-changing landscape of the NDIS but we have worked hard to make it happen. The new clinic is located at 2/593 Whitehorse Rd, Mitcham, 3132, Vic. More photos to follow, including the before and after transformation.

I (Jen) would personally like to thank my wonderful partner in both life & business and one of my amazing sister-in-laws- Deana (you are all amazing though) who was integral to the clinic transformation and worked tirelessly on the outdoor landscaping. Ben and I would also like to thank our lovely new team of practitioners who have been patient, supportive, and ready to engage with clients. We can't wait to welcome clients to the new rooms. Thanks for your support :)

Celebrating June 11th - International Day of Play
There are so many reasons we should all be celebrating the power of play.

Play is a fundamental right; it builds resilience, instils confidence and helps children develop.
But children need time to play. That’s where we need policies, training and funding to get play integrated into education and community settings.

Play heals through learning, life skills and psychosocial well-being. That’s why there must be investment into diverse, inclusive and safe play spaces, extending access to all, especially the most vulnerable and marginalised children.

We have been receiving overwhelming interest and demand for Filial Therapy recently so I thought I would share a little more information. Most families are unsure what Filial Therapy is, or what it can provide. Filial - (pronounced Fill--ee...ull) means 'family' or 'child to parent'. It is one of my personal and professional favourite forms of therapy as it enhances and creates change for the entire family unit.

If you would like to know more please contact Jen on 0499 918 890 or jen@natureplusnurture.com.au

We also accept referrals for Filial Therapy and it is suited to those who have experienced FDV as it helps to re-establish trust and safety within the family unit.

Not affiliated with this service in any way, nor do I have any feedback, but thought I would share. The service is based in Richmond. It may help adult clients seeking an affordable option to explore assessments.

We are a private practice providing person-centred psychological support. Our distareas of focus are Assessments and Men’s / South Asian counselling.
