About Us

Our Philosophy

Complex thoughts and emotions are a part of the human experience.

“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.”

At The Flourish Project, we know how important mental health is and that asking for help can be hard. We believe that taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health.

Our Team

Our team of psychologists and behaviour support practitioners understand human behaviour, motivation, potential, and wellbeing and are trained in a range of evidence-based modalities, to help clients to create the change they want to see and feel in their lives.

I am a therapy dog because I enjoy pats and making people smile.
Mocha, the therapy dog, is a 4-year-old Border Collie from country South Australia. She usually accompanies her mum, Megan (Psychologist), into therapy sessions. You might see her roaming around the clinic while you wait for your session to start. Mocha is best described is warm, lovable and cheeky at times. She loves people and will likely want to share her abundance of affection with you, requesting pats and cuddles as soon as you walk through the door. Her job is to boost your mood, make you feel comfortable, and at ease during your sessions. Mocha is also happy to sit patiently on her mat while you talk.
A Therapy Dog is a pet that is trained to interact with people other than their handler to make those people feel better.
There are various benefits of Animal Assisted Therapy, and dogs are commonly used due to their intuitive ability to bond with humans. Research suggests that therapy dogs can assist with treating autism, depression, anxiety and PTSD. Petting a dog produces oxytocin (a neurochemical that decreases anxiety and boosts feelings of comfort). Therapy dogs differ from service dogs in the sense that their role is to provide love and affection to all humans, and they can be found in settings such as schools, hospitals, nursing homes and domestic violence or homeless shelters.
I am a Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner because I enjoy helping clients achieve their goals and improve their well-being.
