OUR SERVICES
Calming Waves specialises in providing neuro-affirming therapeutic mental health treatment, and support to children, youth, and families. This extends prenatal and postnatal support as well as VOCAT matters. We can help with the underlying causes of what is contributing to mental health and other life difficulties.
Calming Waves can offer assistance for parents and carers to interpret behaviour and understand what their child or young person is experiencing. We can help parents and carers to connect with their children to meet their needs and address challenging behaviours in a way that benefits children and their parents/carers.
Calming Waves provides supervision and mentoring to social workers and helping professionals at various stages in their career and skill levels. We can provide supervision and mentoring to students studying, those new to the workforce, right through to practitioners who are very skilled with many years of experience.
Calming Waves offer consultations to services regarding child, youth and family mental health problems. Consultations can assist services to develop an understanding of an issue they are dealing with, find solutions to problems, improve their practice and meet the needs of the people with whom they are working.
ABOUT US
Calming Waves is driven by a desire to help people feel connected, seen, heard and supported. We exist to support people to find ways to overcome the challenges they face and to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. We aim to help people to feel more connected to loved ones, the world around them and themselves as this promotes optimal mental health.
We provide clinical mental health support, counselling and parenting support services that offers a non-judgmental, neuro-affirming, compassionate, empathetic and caring approach. This support provides strategies to enhance the emotional connection and relationships within each family and support network. Our mental health services apply evidence-based, focused psychological strategies, tailored to each person’s needs and circumstances.
We provide reflective supervision and mentoring to social workers, student social workers and other helping professions. Our approach uses best practice and is intended to support allied health practitioners to enhance their practice and capacity to help others. We also offer consultancy for services working with children, young people or families.
Our approach to counselling, parenting support and professional supervision services is inspired by the calming, yet powerful ebb and flow of waves. This reflects the coming and going of emotions, the navigation through personal challenges and the presence, mindfulness and inspiration found in watching the waves come and go.
