SUPPORT REIMAGINED

At Grow Bloom Thrive Counselling and Support, we 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 an eight-year-old Cavachon dog. Described as "chill", he can provide a calming presence for children and young people during individual appointments. Tyson is still a little young, but in time, it is hoped that he too, will attend more sessions.

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 children and young people who would prefer to be outside, moving, or who simply prefer a less formal approach.

Saturday appointment option

We understand that weekdays can be busy so, during school terms, Saturday appointments are offered.

*by prior arrangement and subject to suitability.
