felt-safety is the intervention.
trust children.
we provide integrated paediatric therapy services to support children and families across australia. our multidisciplinary team of senior therapists delivers neurodiversity-affirming therapy grounded in ethical, strengths-based, child and family-centred practices. we work alongside families to nurture connection, build confidence, and create conditions where children thrive.
we believe that truly supporting children begins with trust — trust in their internal motivations and emerging skills. as john holt reminds us, “trust children, nothing could be more simple or more difficult, because to trust children we must first learn to trust ourselves.” this belief is at the heart of everything we do.
-
we are affirming.
you are accepted. you are valued. you are loved. you belong. it is your human right to have access to the supports you need.
-
we are authentic.
wholeheartedly sharing lived experience because connection to others can only be as meaningful as our connection to ourselves.
-
we are divergent.
less is more with high quality, individualised, support because treating everybody equally does not mean treating them the same.
we practice holistically.
we see the whole child — their strengths, challenges, and everything in between. we never lose sight of who they are within the context of their family, their relationships, and their world.
we value partnering with parents, because you are the expert when it comes to your child. together, we build connection, understanding, and support.
we practise protectively..
we preserve autonomy, presume competence, follow special interests, support emerging skills & use strengths-focused approaches. we promote sensory safety, facilitate brain-body awareness, offer attuned, respectful & responsive connections & ensure consent from your child in every interaction.
