When one more appointment feels like too much 🌿

Maybe you've spent the week in waiting rooms. Maybe you're caring for someone and every spare minute is already spoken for. Maybe grief has made getting dressed and out the door feel impossible some days.

You still deserve support. And it doesn't have to mean one more drive, one more car park, one more waiting room.

With online counselling, you can come as you are. In your trackies. With a cup of tea. From the bed, the couch, or the car parked outside the hospital. No travel, no rushing. Just you, someone who's genuinely listening, and room to breathe.

And when the session ends, you're already home. There's no drive back where you have to pull yourself together. You can sit with what came up, rest, and be gentle with yourself.

Meet Mira 🫶

Mira is a telehealth counsellor at The Still Space, and she understands how heavy life can get. She supports people through:

• Grief and loss
• Cancer and health diagnoses
• Caring for a loved one
• Life transitions
• Big emotions that feel hard to manage
• Mindfulness and meditation
• Compassion-focused therapy

Mira offers 8pm sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as weekend appointments. When the day or week is finally done, the house is still, and there's space to think about you for a change.

She brings warmth, steadiness and deep respect for your pace. You don't need the right words or a tidy story. You just need to show up, exactly as you are.

If you've been putting off getting support because it all feels like too much, this is your gentle invitation to reach out.

When words feel too big 🎨

Children don't always have the language to explain what's happening inside them, especially after something hard. Art gives them another way to tell their story. A scribble, a colour choice or a shape on the page can say what they can't yet say out loud.

That's the heart of HeARTful Expressions, our art therapy program for primary school-aged children, led by our Art Therapist Eli. Eli creates a safe, gentle space where kids can explore their feelings, build confidence and feel truly seen, with no art skills needed.

Our Term 4 program starts Tuesday 20 October at 4:00PM and runs each Tuesday for 4 weeks.

If your child is carrying big feelings, this program may be just what they need.

NDIS funding may apply. Email [email protected] to enquire or book online here https://thestillspace.as.me/arttherapyterm4

With care,
Sammy and Eli ✨️♥️.

Hi, I'm Sammy, Practice Principal at The Still Space and a Registered Trauma, Grief and Anxiety Counsellor. 👋

My work began with mindfulness. Long before I was a counsellor, I was teaching people how to come back into their bodies, to notice their breath, their tension, the places where they'd stopped listening to themselves. That's still at the heart of everything I do.

Trauma and grief don't only live in our thoughts. They live in our bodies too, in a tight chest, a racing heart, a numbness that's hard to explain. So in my sessions we don't just talk. We slow down, notice what's happening inside, and gently build a sense of safety from the inside out. There's no rushing and no pressure to share more than you're ready to.

For adults, this might look like making sense of a loss that turned your world upside down, or finally understanding why certain things still feel so heavy years later. Together we find ways to carry what's happened without it running your life.

For children, I work through play and creativity. Kids often don't have the words for what they've been through, and they shouldn't have to. Through play, art and sensory activities, they can show me what they're feeling, and we work through it in a way that makes sense to them. I also work alongside parents, because healing for a child happens best when the people around them feel supported too.

Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to have it all figured out before you reach out. You just have to take the first step.

If you or your child are struggling with trauma, grief or anxiety, I see you and I'm here when you're ready.

With care,
Sammy ✨️♥️

A little fun for your Monday ☀️

The team took on the five fingers challenge, therapy edition, and it turns out we're all a little predictable 😅

✋ Using therapy language with friends and family
✋ Psychoanalysing characters in TV shows
✋ Saying "and how did that make you feel?" outside of work
✋ Owning far more notebooks than we'll ever use
✋ Reframing our own thoughts mid-spiral (still a work in progress 🤣🫣)

Behind every session at The Still Space is a team of real people. We laugh, we overthink, we reach for the pretty notebook we don't need, and we use the same tools we share with you, because we're human too.

We think that's part of what makes this work feel authentic. Therapy is about connection, and connection comes more easily when there's room for warmth, play and the odd giggle along the way.

So here's your invitation this Monday, notice what made you smile, take one slow breath into your body, and be gentle with yourself as the week begins.

We wish you all a wonderful week ahead 💛

With care,
Sammy and The Still Space Team ✨️ ♥️

What would it feel like to wake up here? With nowhere to be and no one needing you?

If you can't remember the last time that happened, this is for you.

By May, most women are running on empty. You've held everything together, and your body feels it. The tight shoulders, the broken sleep, the sense that you've lost yourself somewhere under the to-do list.

Now picture a Saturday morning in the bush. No alarm. A cup of tea, your journal and birdsong. Meals cooked for you, time in the sauna, a fire pit at night with women who get it.

That's what our 2027 Women's Wellbeing Retreat is all about.

You'll leave rested, calmer and reconnected to yourself, ready for the second half of the year with more of you to give.

You don't have to be at breaking point to deserve rest.

📅 Friday 21 – Sunday 23 May 2027
👭 Only 7 spots left
This weekend is your turn. Secure your spot with a $100 deposit and pay the rest off as you like.

Meet Eli, our Art Therapist 🎨

Art gives children a way to say what they can't yet put into words. It's how big worries, sadness and confusion can start to feel a little smaller and a lot more manageable.

That's the heart of Eli's work. Eli creates a safe, gentle space where kids can explore what's going on inside them through colour, shape and making. No artistic skill needed, and there's no right or wrong way to do it.

Just room to express, play and be understood.

Eli is the facilitator of our HeARTful Expressions Art Therapy Program for primary-school aged children, starting Tuesday 20 October.

Through guided creative activities, children will:

✨ Explore their emotions through sensory art.
✨️ Create space for regulation and calming practices.
✨ Grow confidence in a small, supportive group.
✨ Have fun creating alongside other children.

Only a few spots remain for this term's group. If your child has been carrying worries, big emotions or a tough time lately, this could be a lovely place for them to land.

If your child has NDIS funding and are either self or plan managed they may be eligible for a fully funded spot.

Email [email protected] to enquire or book online.

We can't wait to create with your little one.

With care,
Sammy and Eli ✨️♥️

Meet Melissa, our Child and Youth Counsellor 💛

Melissa has spent years walking alongside children and young people through the big stuff, worries, anxiety, big feelings and everything in between. She brings a rare mix of deep knowledge and genuine warmth, and kids feel it straight away.

She's endlessly compassionate, wonderfully empathetic, and has a beautiful understanding of neurodiversity, supporting children and families with a recent diagnosis is of particular interest. Melissa sees each child as they are, not as a label, and helps families feel understood too.

At home, she's mum to four boys (so yes, she's seen it all, heard it all, and probably cleaned it all up). And you'll rarely catch her without a great lipstick on. It's practically her signature. 💄

Melissa also facilitates our Brave Space anxiety program for primary school aged kids, running again this Term 4 from 19 October.

We're so lucky to have her on the team. Come say hi to Melissa and explore how she can support your child 👋

With care,
Sammy and The Still Space Team ✨️ ♥️

If you've ever asked your child "what happened?" and been met with silence, you're not alone. After trauma or loss, those words can feel impossible for a child.

Hard experiences are often held as feelings, images and body sensations rather than words.

Play is your child's natural language. Through play, art and movement, they can work through what's happened at their own pace, in a way that feels safe.

Swipe through to see how creative therapies help children heal 🤍
