Grow Bloom Thrive Counselling and Support’s vision is to offer an inviting space where children, young people and their families feel safe to be who they are, and where seeking support is viewed as a strength.
Supporting one’s journey of personal growth, where individuals are encouraged and supported to not just bloom but thrive.
I work from a person-centred, trauma-sensitive philosophy and provide tailored individual, family, and groupwork interventions.

SUPPORT REIMAGINED

At Grow Bloom Thrive Counselling and Support, I recognise that traditional-style appointments do not suit everyone and can offer adjustments to more traditional appointments. This may include:

Pet accompaniment option*

Toby is a ten-year-old Cavachon dog. Described as "chill", he can provide a calming presence for children and young people during individual appointments. Note: Toby is now only attending occasionally due to health/ageing.

Illustrated (as pictured above) by the incredibly talented @hairyphish (also known as @illustratedsocialworker).

Walk and Talk option*

With an office location by Lake Macquarie, individual appointments can take place as a walk and talk therapy. This can be a good option for those who would prefer to be outside, moving, or who simply prefer a less formal approach.

Weekend appointment option

I understand that weekdays can be busy so offer fortnightly Saturday and Sunday appointments. Note these are often in high demand and availability may be limited.

*by prior arrangement and subject to suitability.
