Counselling

We provide face to face and telehealth counselling to suit your needs. We can work with clients regardless of location due to the flexibility of this model. Therapy should be guiding, reflective and relevant, we work in a range of ways to ensure this will be your experience at Verdant Minds. When working with children, we bring play and fun to sessions, while working on the important stuff.

You can book an appointment straight from the website, or contact us to discuss how we can meet your needs.

Clinical Supervision

Experienced and qualified Clinical Supervision is available for those needing to meet requirements under the AASW, PACFA or ACA registrations, or for those wanting to engage in reflective practice.

We follow the priniciples of reflective and supportive supervision. The following story sums up why Clinical Supervision is a necessary and important part of being an ethical and effective practitioner:

An ant went to a self help course and felt inspired! He had direction, finally. He knew what he had to do, he had to go North, and marching North is exactly what he did. What the ant did not realise is that he was walking on the back of an elephant heading South.

This highlights the relationship between our conscious choices (the ant), the things we know we know, and the subconscious choices (Elephant), the things we don't know we don't know. These are the things that can hold us back from seeing solutions, or meeting our professional goals. Supervision can help us become aware of the elephant and get on the same page.

Training, Consultancy and Mentoring

We can create and design individual training packages to suit the needs of your organisation. Currently, we design packages for daycares, schools, teachers and parents. More exciting training opportunities will be coming in the near future.

Some of the areas we have previously developed training packages:

  • How to approach and respond to behaviours in children

  • Trauma-informed classrooms

  • Tuning into kids parent training

  • The teenage brain and how to help it learn and grow

  • Tuning into kids- parenting/emotion coaching
