Child & Family Therapists
Welcome to
Nurtured Minds Toowoomba
Our Approach
Our approach is child-centred, strengths-based, and grounded in evidence-informed therapies, including Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Play Therapy. We provide specialised therapeutic support for children and young people experiencing trauma, emotional distress, and behavioural concerns, creating a safe and supportive environment where children feel understood and secure.
We work closely with parents and caregivers, recognising that meaningful change occurs within the broader family system. With experience supporting families through trauma, separation, and complex circumstances, our goal is to help children build emotional safety, resilience, and confidence to move forward in a healthy and supported way.
Child and Youth Trauma Recovery
Specialised therapeutic support for children and young people affected by sexual abuse, trauma, and violence
Nurtured Minds Toowoomba provides specialised, child-focused counselling for children and adolescents who have experienced childhood sexual abuse, sexual violence, complex trauma, and related emotional and behavioural difficulties.
Therapy is delivered within a safe, developmentally appropriate, and trauma-informed framework, supporting children to process their experiences, rebuild emotional safety, and strengthen resilience.
This program is child-led, meaning therapy progresses at a pace that feels safe and appropriate for the child. Engagement remains flexible to ensure the child feels in control of their therapeutic journey.
Empowering Young Minds through Specialised Therapy
We provide evidence-based, child-focused support tailored to the unique needs of every family in Toowoomba.
Early Intervention for Harmful Sexual Behaviours (HSB)
A comprehensive, evidence-informed assessment and intervention program, supporting children and adolescents displaying harmful sexual behaviours.
This program is delivered within a safe, child-focused therapeutic framework and aims to reduce risk, strengthen protective factors, and support healthy emotional and behavioural development.
The program is structured, accountable, and family-inclusive, ensuring both the young person and caregivers are supported throughout the intervention process.
Family Therapy Services
Supporting children and families through Court processes, separation and transition
Nurtured Minds Toowoomba provides child-focused family therapy for families navigating separation, parenting conflict, and post-separation adjustment.
Our approach prioritises the emotional wellbeing and safety of the child, while supporting parents to understand and respond to their child’s needs during periods of change.
Family therapy may be delivered as a non-reportable therapeutic service, or as a structured Reportable Family Therapy program where therapeutic documentation is required for legal or professional purposes.
School - Based Safety & Prevention
Empowering students with knowledge, insight, and practical tools to stay safe in a digital world.
We partner with schools to deliver structured, evidence-informed education sessions on online safety, harmful sexual behaviours, consent, and child protection. Using real-life, de-identified clinical examples, these sessions help students understand the genuine impact of online choices.
In a digital age where sharing images, selfies, and nude content has become increasingly normalised, the program supports students to develop safer decision-making, understand boundaries and consent, recognise risk, and seek support when needed. Sessions are delivered in an engaging, age-appropriate format, supporting schools in their duty of care and commitment to student safety and wellbeing.
