Change Begins Here
Connection, Healing and Purpose
Healing Minds, Restoring Hearts
At Changes, we wholeheartedly believe in the inherent capacity of every individual to embark on a journey of healing and achieve therapeutic goals. With unwavering support, we encourage you to lead an authentic life filled with meaningful connections. Utilising the transformative power of Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), we specialise in processing trauma and breaking the cycles of intergenerational pain and suffering.
Our Programs
Changes programs are situated on beautiful farm grounds located on the Hawkesbury River in the township of Richmond NSW, one hour from Sydney CBD. We are delighted to be able to share the serene grounds and calming space with you. The program is run in one of our beautiful barns.
Our course room has a relaxed atmosphere, we have air conditioning for those hot days and a lovely fireplace for the chilly months. There are serene outdoor spaces that you will be able to enjoy.
Our Approach
Rooted in current best practices and aligned with the national framework for recovery-oriented mental health services, our approach is a harmonious blend of modalities delivered through a transdiagnostic lens.
From the profound healing of Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to the insightful Conversational Model, empowering Interpersonal Psychodynamic Model, and the foundation of Attachment Theory, we weave a tapestry of therapeutic techniques. Our programs incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Schema Therapy, complemented by Psychoeducation and enriching Outdoor Experiential Learning and Equine Assisted Learning for enhanced learning and integration. These diverse modalities create a dynamic and personalised healing environment.
At Changes, healing, purpose, and connection intertwine to guide you on a transformative journey towards mental well-being.
We believe in fostering purposeful connections.
Both within oneself and with others, as the cornerstone of well-being. Your journey to healing begins here, where warmth and engagement form the foundation of our commitment to your mental health and flourishing.
