nurtured therapy provides one to one individual youth counselling sessions. Counselling sessions are 50 minutes and are offered weekly or fortnightly depending on assessed individual needs and identified therapeutic goals.
Utilising expressive therapies, positive psychology and talk therapies, nurtured therapy support youth from age 13 to 25 years old to navigate their personal experiences. Adopting person-centred and strengths-based approaches we integrate expressive therapies through the use of materials such as paint, clay and sand tray to facilitate storytelling and explore feelings and emotions.
Working from humanistic principles nurtured therapy tunes into individual’s inner world, accepting them for who they are and ensuring they feel validated and understood so they can “Just be you” in the counselling room while exploring feelings in a safe environment, increasing self-esteem and empowering change.
