Before the doors open

A few useful answers.

Is this a counselling waitlist?+

No. It is an opening and resource list. Joining does not request an appointment or create a counselling relationship.

When is Within opening?+

Within is planned to open on the Sunshine Coast in 2027. Dates and booking information will be shared when confirmed.

Do I need a diagnosis?+

No. You can join if Within’s future support or resources feel relevant to you.

Do you work with children?+

Within is an adult counselling service. I don’t provide counselling directly to children. I can support mums and other adult clients with parenting, neurodivergence and navigating the systems around their family, including school and NDIS where relevant.

Can I use NDIS funding?+

NDIS-funded support is coming soon. Within will operate as an unregistered provider, so eligible self-managed and plan-managed participants may be able to use NDIS funding for eligible supports. NDIA-managed funding cannot be used with an unregistered provider. If you’re unsure whether a support can be claimed from your plan, check with your plan manager or NDIS contact.

Do I have to be good at art?+

Nope. Scribbles count. Creative options are there if they help, not because there is a right way to do them.

What if I don’t know what to talk about?+

That’s completely okay. You don’t need to arrive with a tidy agenda. We can start with what is taking up space, or with something simple for your hands to do.

Do I have to use creativity or go outdoors?+

No. Nature, creativity and movement are optional. We can simply talk, with choices that fit you.
