A soft place to land during lifeâs hardest moments.
Guiding you through trauma, grief and anxiety with specialised support and understanding.
Specialised trauma, grief, anxiety and neurodiversity-affirming counselling and psychotherapy for adults, children and families.
The Still Space is a boutique counselling and psychotherapy practice in Engadine, supporting adults, children and families across the Sutherland Shire and Australia-wide via telehealth. We specialise in trauma, grief, anxiety, nervous system-informed care and neurodiversity-affirming support, offering compassionate, evidence-informed therapy that helps people create meaningful, lasting emotional wellbeing.
Founded on the belief that within each of us exists an inner place of steadiness we can return to, even amidst overwhelm, grief, anxiety and life's most challenging seasons, The Still Space was created to offer something more than traditional talk therapy alone.
A space to pause. To reconnect with yourself beneath the layers of survival, stress and emotional exhaustion. A space where you feel genuinely seen, heard and supported.
Located in Engadine and offering Australia-wide telehealth, The Still Space provides a warm, grounded and non-clinical approach where people are met as whole human beings, not problems to be fixed.
Our integrative approach combines counselling, psychotherapy and nervous system-informed care to help clients better understand emotional patterns, regulate overwhelm, rebuild self-trust and move forward with greater clarity, connection and confidence.
Therapy, Done Differently.
The Still Space was created from a deep belief that emotional wellbeing support should feel different.
Not rushed. Not cold. Not clinical. And never one-size-fits-all.
We understand that many people seeking support are carrying far more than stress alone. Beneath trauma, anxiety, overwhelm, burnout or emotional exhaustion is often a nervous system that has been under pressure for a very long time.
At The Still Space, we offer specialised counselling and psychotherapy that supports the whole person, emotionally, psychologically and physiologically.
Born from lived experience, professional expertise and years of learning, The Still Space reflects a philosophy of care grounded in compassion, depth and meaningful therapeutic support for the whole person. Our work is grounded in evidence-informed approaches while remaining deeply compassionate, relational and tailored to the individual needs of each client.
We support adults, children and families navigating trauma and nervous system dysregulation, grief and loss, anxiety and chronic stress, emotional overwhelm and burnout, self-esteem and identity challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship and family challenges and major life transitions
Located in Engadine, The Still Space has evolved into a boutique mental wellbeing practice supporting the Sutherland Shire community through integrative, personalised care.
Above all, we believe meaningful change begins when people feel genuinely understood and supported enough to move beyond survival mode and reconnect with themselves and their lives.

At The Still Space, we offer a non-clinical, supportive environment for children and teens. When young people struggle to understand and express their emotions, their pain can surface through behaviour changes, anxiety, or withdrawal. In our dedicated art and play therapy room, we support children and teens navigating trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, emotional regulation challenges and neurodiversity. Through creative, evidence-informed and developmentally appropriate approaches, we help young people understand their emotions, build confidence, develop practical coping skills and strengthen their emotional wellbeing, while helping parents feel supported every step of the way.

Therapy Programs for Children
Our play and art therapy programs provide children with a safe, welcoming space to express emotions, build confidence and develop healthy ways to cope with life's challenges. Through creative, evidence-informed activities, children can explore feelings they may not yet have the words for, while learning to regulate their nervous system, strengthen emotional awareness and build resilience. Whether your child is experiencing anxiety, grief, trauma, emotional regulation challenges or is navigating neurodiversity, our programs are designed to help them feel understood, supported and more confident in themselves and the world around them.
Our team offers a compassionate, trauma-aware and evidence-informed approach to counselling, supporting individuals through grief, loss, anxiety, emotional overwhelm and lifeâs more difficult seasons. We understand how deeply experiences of loss, trauma and emotional pain can impact every part of a personâs life, and we provide a safe, supportive space where you donât have to carry it all alone.
Grounded in current research around trauma, grief, nervous system health and neurodiversity, our practitioners offer practical tools alongside genuine human connection to help you process emotions, rebuild a sense of stability, and reconnect with yourself in meaningful ways. At The Still Space, we believe therapy should feel supportive, collaborative and deeply human a place where you feel heard, understood and supported at your own pace.
