As 2025 draws to a close, I have been talking with many therapists who are craving a different kind of start to the new year. Not a rushed beginning, but a steady one. Not more pressure, but more clarity. A way of practising that feels affirming for both the children they support and for themselves.

This has been a year of growth for so many of us. Growth that may have been quiet, but deeply meaningful.

If you are looking ahead to 2026 and wanting learning that supports you to practise in a grounded, values aligned way, our on demand courses are available to access at your own pace. They offer practical guidance, real world examples and a gentle sense of being accompanied as you grow.

A small reminder. The Therapists Haven is not included, as it is already sitting at its launch price.

You are welcome to explore the full library through our website.

One of the biggest shifts we make as therapists is moving away from the idea that anything about a child needs โ€œfixingโ€.
When we honour their communication, their preferences, their sensory world and their timing, therapy becomes a space of safety rather than pressure.

Weโ€™re thrilled to share a fantastic new partnership between Neurominded and Child Australia! As we head into the wonderful (and hectic ๐Ÿ˜‰) world of Vacation Care, weโ€™ve teamed up to create a free webcast and resource designed to support OSHC Educators in preparing for the holidays.

Our goal is simple: to reach as many educators as possible and help families have positive, smooth experiences when accessing Vacation Care.

The final weeks of the year can feel like chaos on fast-forward.
School wraps up, routines shift, events stack up, emotions run highโ€ฆ and many neurodivergent kids feel those changes deeply.

If youโ€™re riding the rollercoaster right now, here are some grounded strategies to help your home stay calmer, steadier, and more predictable during the rush:

๐ŸŒŸ 1. Keep expectations realistic
๐ŸŒŸ 2. Maintain small routines
๐ŸŒŸ 3. Plan transitions in advance
๐ŸŒŸ 4. Prep sensory supports
๐ŸŒŸ 5. Build breaks into busy days
๐ŸŒŸ 6. Give choices, not demands
๐ŸŒŸ 7. Celebrate the small wins

The end of the year doesnโ€™t have to break you.
Go slow when you need to. Step back when things get too big. You know your child best and your familyโ€™s version of โ€œsuccessโ€ doesnโ€™t need to look like anyone elseโ€™s.

Youโ€™re doing a great job, even if it feels messy. ๐Ÿ’›

Dear therapist,
You have held space for everyone else this year.
You have listened deeply, held tears gently, celebrated the smallest steps, and carried more emotional labour than most people will ever see.

And while youโ€™ve been supporting children, families, teams and systems, you may have quietly placed your own needs at the very bottom of the list.
Many of us do. It is almost an unspoken part of the work.

What I want you to hear today is this.
You deserve to be supported with the same care, steadiness and respect that you offer to others.
Your feelings matter.
Your growth matters.
Your wellbeing matters.

In my work with therapists, I see again and again that connection is what allows us to breathe again.
When someone else holds space for you, the weight softens. Your thinking becomes clearer. Your work becomes more sustainable. And you remember that you are human, not a machine.

If you are longing for a place where you can exhale, reflect, grow and feel held by people who truly get this work, I would love to welcome you inside The Therapist Haven.
It is a community designed so you do not have to do this alone.

You have held space for everyone else this year.
Now let someone hold space for you.

One of the biggest shifts we make with families is helping them let go of the idea that anything about their child needs to be corrected.

Your childโ€™s way of communicating, connecting and moving through the world is meaningful.

When we stop trying to change them and start honouring them, therapy becomes a place of safety rather than pressure.

If you want to be cool with your kids right now, just casually drop into conversation:
โ€œYou know itโ€™s the 6th and 7th of December weekend, right?โ€
