What this looks like in a session
I started Wild Springs because the way I want to work did not fit the model most clinics run. Less tabletop, more holistic. Every plan is tailored to the participant in front of me, not a template I learned at uni. We might be outside, at school, or on the floor of the therapy room, wherever the person is most regulated and the actual work can happen.
-
Participant-led
Our participant's interests shape their sessions, and we build the work around them.
-
Body-based
Movement is a key part of neurological development, play and confidence. Less tabletop, wherever we can.
-
Whole family support
Our sessions aim to support the client's whole family and support systems.
Participant-led
Our participant's interests shape their sessions.
If a child lights up with outdoor movement, that's where the work happens. If a teenager is most regulated talking at the beach rather than across a desk, that's where we go. Therapy works better when it is built around the person, not around a template.
Body-based
Movement is a key part of neurological development, play and confidence.
When working with children, our sessions focus on neurological maturation through movement and play. We try to avoid traditional tabletop activities or worksheets as much as possible. For overloaded nervous systems, regulation comes from regulating the body through safe sensory input, movement and play.
"Movement is the very expression of life. Long before a child develops spoken language, their feelings and thoughts come to spontaneous expression through the medium of movement, which is therefore their first language."
Sally Goddard Blythe, The Genius of Natural Childhood
Whole family support
Our sessions aim to support the client's whole family and support systems.
Holistic management for households navigating diagnosis, NDIS shifts, school transitions and the everyday weight that comes with all of it, that's part of the work.
What this looks like in practice
-
1
Listen first
Our first session is a conversation. What brought you here, what's worked, what hasn't, what your day-to-day looks like.
-
2
Build a plan together
We build a flexible plan from goals that are meaningful to you.
-
3
Adjust as we go
Therapy is always dynamic, and goals should be adaptable as we move with your life.
Ready when
you are.
New clients welcome. Plan-managed and self-managed NDIS clients accepted. For complex cases, the consult lets us figure out together whether Wild Springs is the right fit, before any plans are made. No pressure, just a conversation.
