Our Approach

We recognise that conventional cognitive and talk-based therapies have limitations in helping people from many cultural backgrounds, especially those experiencing ongoing effects of trauma.

The Freedom to Flourish team of experienced therapists design programmes integrating the Expressive Arts, Horticulture, Nature, Somatic and sports therapies with other evidence-based psychotherapy approaches for holistic trauma recovery and mental health.

"Creative expression is a remarkable bridge that takes us from a state of stress to state of rest and digest.

It helps us shift from a state of unsafe brain to the safe brain."
