Supporting neurodivergent adults using coaching and psychological support.

Fully funded workplace sessions can be accessed. Please contact us to find out how we can assist you to access coaching/therapy sessions that do not leave you with any out of pocket expenses if you have a diagnosis of ADHD or Autism

We are a neurodiverse affirming, strengths based practice and incorporate trained therapy dogs and cats into our approach as requested.

We help to identify, assess and support developmental and mental health concerns, whilst utilising individual strengths to optimise and nurture wellbeing and meet your goals.

Animal Assisted Therapy

The human-animal bond that occurs between an individual and a therapy dog can elicit many positive outcomes, notably, increasing the attachment response that triggers the hormone oxytocin, which increases trust in humans. In addition, research has shown therapy dogs can help reduce stress. We also offer cats for those who prefer a feline friend.

OUR approach

Discover how we can make a difference for you

Our team's specific area of interest is supporting neurodiverse children and young people. We focus on helping them recognise and capitalise on their strengths while developing strategies to minimise and manage challenges.

Following an assessment and potential diagnosis, our team communicates with other specialists, such as paediatricians or psychiatrists, to develop or reinforce appropriate scaffolds with practical and teachable tools and strategies.

Our services are conducted in beautifully landscaped surroundings in Eltham, located in the northeastern suburbs of Melbourne. This tranquil rural environment provides access to outdoor activities and areas for children and young people to enjoy.
