Violet Dreaming

Embracing Healing and Growth. 

At Violet Dreaming, we believe in the transformative power of therapy and holistic healing. As a dedicated team of psychotherapists, counsellors, and support workers, we are passionate about guiding individuals, couples, and families toward community emotional well-being and personal growth. 

Some services we offer are 1:1, family, couples and group therapy. 

In addition to traditional therapeutic practices, we incorporate innovative techniques such as Wayapa Wuurrk, which connects individuals to the land and their innate wisdom, fostering a deeper understanding of self and community. Our somatic yoga sessions provide a safe space for clients to reconnect with their bodies, integrating mindfulness and movement for overall wellness. 

We offer professional development training, equipping fellow practitioners with the tools and insights to enhance their skills and foster meaningful connections with their clients. 

At Violet Dreaming, we aim to create a supportive environment where healing, growth, and personal transformation can flourish. Together, we can navigate life's challenges and unlock our full potential.
