Yes! We certainly do work with children and intact half of our client population is children, because we are passionate about working with whole families. Our process is a little different though when booking in your child, as we like to meet with each child’s caregivers alone for the first appointment. This caregiver appointment gives us a chance to gather information about history, but also create a collaborative plan about the best way forward. Importantly, it’s also an opportunity for us to provide support to the caregivers, who are often missed in therapy processes.

We approach family work from the perspective that if we can support an entire family unit, then the change occurs within the family, than than being isolated to the individual, which means it’s more sustainable, and longer lasting.

Bloom Well-being are currently accepting new clients. You do not need a referral from your GP, as we do not offer rebates under the Medicare Mental Health Care Plan.

Please contact us to schedule via email: admin@bloomwell-being.com.au or SMS: 0477 110 953. Our team endeavour to return your email within one business day.

Bloom Well-being operates from a framework that acknowledges the client as the expert and the owner of their individual life experience and story. At Bloom Well-being there is no expectation from your therapist for clients to share anything that doesn’t feel safe or comfortable. Therapy can be used as a safe space to explore life challenges, traumas, or areas of concern. It can also be utilised as a strategy to strengthen the connection to yourself. Bloom Well-being offers a relational service, that supports individuals to apply a lens of curiosity, whilst exploring potential barriers to holistic wellness. Areas commonly explored include self-esteem, boundaries, and relationships. Contact us today if you would like to schedule an appointment.

During your initial session you will be provided with information regarding client rights and responsibilities, and Bloom Well-being’s privacy policies, including the limits to confidentiality. Generally, information provided by clients to a therapist remains confidential – excluding information that pertains to the abuse of young people under 18 years of age, or speaks to the risk of harm to self/others. You do not need to have reported your experience of abuse to police or another service, to access Bloom Well-being. Even if the abuse occurred when you were a child, as long as you are now aged over 18 years old. If you have any further questions, please speak to your therapist.

Bloom Well-being welcomes all feedback; compliments and complaints, as this information allows Bloom Well-being to continue evolving, to ensure accessibility and greater service provision. Please reach out to discuss.

Our team is made up of Social Workers and Community Workers.

We view our clients through a holistic lens, considering a person’s environment, family, culture, work, relationships, etc. Working in this way, we use evidence-based and trauma-informed practices to support our clients with strategies to help them overcome challenges and achieve their personal goals.

While we most definitely support clients presenting with mental illnesses and trauma, we are not psychologists and therefore we do not diagnose mental illnesses.
