We support children & young adults through difficult & worrying times to help them heal. During childhood there is rapid and intense change in a child’s life and growing up can be difficult. For some children it is relatively easy and smooth, and even exciting during their transitions to adulthood. For others the transition is overwhelming and wrought with challenges.
If your child is facing some challenges, then your child may need some specialist age-appropriate counselling to help them overcome, develop skills, resilience, and confidence.

We have a range of options to support your needs.
We create amazing programs that improve the emotional wellbeing of our participants.
Being a well-rounded and resilient human being that is content with one’s life, is a journey of lifelong learning. If you aren’t taught effective ways to deal with life’s ups and downs, that can lead to many negative feelings and can impact your self-confidence, create habits or emotional responses that have a negative impact on yourself and those around you and so much more.
That is why at Innate Therapies we believe in educating children and adults through our amazing programs.
Workshops include:
HAVING FUN WITH VISION BOARDS | ART THERAPY | USING MANDALAS WITH CLIENTS
We support counsellors to help them grow.
Supervision is a session where a Counsellor meets with a supervisor who is trained and qualified to mentor, support, and guide a Counsellor with their counselling skills and practice. Counselling can have its challenges, such as burnout, projection, transference, and blurring of professional boundaries.
A supervisor is trained to assist the Counsellor to avoid these things from occurring.
Through supervision a Counsellor has the opportunity to gain a balanced insight into their own personal skills and learn new tools to better assist their clients.
Innate Therapies provides outreach therapeutic services to within the schools and the wider Community.
Innate Therapies prides itself to be accessible to all and understands the difficulties that occur when parents need to get their children/adolescent to ongoing sessions.

What is a Therapist, Counsellor or Psychologist?
Licensed therapists that provide mental health support include psychologists, counselors, psychotherapists, and social workers. Changes are often minor. However, the way they work and the care they provide may be different, especially for Medicare and rebate collection.
Although counsellors, like our therapists at Innate Therapies, take a more person-centered approach to therapy, helping the patient verbalise their feelings, psychologists use a more medical approach, professionally assessing and diagnosing the patient.
Problems only get solved when you stop ignoring them.
Sometimes, we experience challenging times. Despite this, we often avoid seeking help or support. This could be due to feelings of embarrassment, a fear of being judged, or a lack of knowledge about available resources.
No matter the cause, it is a positive step to make contact with our therapists in Cairns and Innisfail. If you need help, try talking with someone you trust, seeking out a professional counselor or therapist, or finding a supportive network.
Not all therapy is the same.
Caring for the mind is as important and crucial as caring for the body.
In fact, one cannot be healthy without the other. At Innate Therapies, we know that everyone is unique. That is why we have a range of evidence based therapies we integrate into our traditional counselling methods to get to the root of a problem. Think of your problems like a weed, we can’t just hack off the leaves. We need to dig right down to the roots and sort things out from there and sometimes that’s hard with traditional counselling. That is why these evidence-based therapies effectively source the root of the problem.
A treatment method that is “evidence-based,” is backed up by objective, scientific evidence that proves it is effective.
When we experience trauma, or are going through a tough time, therapy and early intervention is so important no matter your age.
Difficulties and issues can be likened to germs; they can infiltrate our lives. Without strategies to protect ourselves or handle them if they enter our bodies, we may become ill. This is where you can turn to our mental health services.
Our emotional wellbeing is much the same. We all have different immune systems, some of us are more prone to illness. The same is true for our emotional wellbeing. If you or your child are unwell, you would not hesitate to see a doctor.
The same should apply when it comes to seeking help from a therapist to address emotional issues. This is where you can turn to our mental health services.
If you or someone you are close to are feeling overwhelmed and need help, we offer a variety of therapies, tools and resources to assist them. These can aid in navigating challenging times and help to get back to a healthy, joyful life.
Life is Precious
People who are emotionally healthy are in control of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. They’re able to cope with life’s challenges. They can keep problems in perspective and bounce back from setbacks. Happiness is not the absence of problems, it’s the ability to manage them. Everyone deserves to feel emotionally strong.
Whether it’s you, your child, your spouse, friend or your students are not coping, our team are here to support you every step of the way. We will guide you towards a more balanced, happy and fulfilling life.
