“Shane is easy to talk to, and I appreciate that he puts everything down in written words, drawings and images to help me grasp ideas better and allow information to sink in. He does not just drop lots of information but speaks to me like a friend, and helps me understand my issues and gives me tools and plans to help work through them.”

About

Experience a kinder therapy at AkindaCo.

Our Adelaide-based integrative multi-disciplinary team works with you to explore creative solutions and ways forward when things feel stuck or tense. Our unique combination of services include systemic family therapy, play therapy, arts & expressive therapy, occupational therapy, psychology, psychotherapy and counselling. We offer a highly specialised approach that honours the needs of all members of a household, community or system: children, adolescents and adults. We understand individuals are a part of important systems of connection and support, and that how an individual feels inside is tightly woven with how they relate to others. Through our collaborative initial appointment process, we explore and identify what you might want to see change, and offer a flexible plan to reach your unique goals.

This initial 90-minute appointment is an opportunity for collaboration and exploration of your goals and visions for change, and co-construction of a flexible plan to move towards what you'd like to see different.

In this 90 minute appointment, we explore what you would like to see change and come up with collaborative goals together as to how we might achieve these in our work together. We know starting therapy can be daunting and challenging, and in this appointment you can get to know us and whether we are the right fit for you.
