Wildheart Therapy
Compassionate support for healing, including trauma and grief, based in Brisbane— in person, walk and talk or tele-health options offered.
The Wildheart Approach
As an accredited mental health social worker and yoga teacher, with over 15 years of supporting people who have experienced trauma, I offer a therapeutic approach grounded in evidence -based practice, that supports you to understand and heal from the impact of trauma on your body, mind and heart.
Wildheart is the part of us that knows how to breathe, feel, and belong. Through life’s hardships — loss, trauma, and the quiet accumulations of pain — this part can soften, hide, or fall silent as we learn to survive. In the space of therapy, the wildheart is not fixed or forced awake, but gently remembered, invited back into view, where it can stretch, heal, and find its own rhythm again.
Providing you with a safe space for healing
I aim to offer a safe, compassionate space where your story is held with care, your body’s wisdom is honoured, and your healing unfolds with gentleness and respect at your own pace. Through somatic, and narrative approaches (top-down cognitive processing and bottom-up body-based approach) , we work together to understand trauma held in the body and reclaim a sense of felt safety, strength, and freedom.
In person and remote options
Currently providing walk and talk options or tele-therapy for one-on-one sessions, or trauma sensitive yoga for groups.

Hi I am Theresa
(she, her, hers)
I am an accredited mental health social worker, providing one on one therapy and group work to help you heal from the impacts of trauma.
My training has taught me how trauma impacts our brain, our thoughts, our bodies, our experience of who we are, our relationships, our experience of life. Clinical research increasingly supports that to process trauma we must involve our body and the stored somatic memory. Through a phased approach of building safety, processing and integrating trauma, at your own pace, we can heal and we can transform our experiences of self, relationships and our communities.
Being a trauma-informed social worker involves actively engaging in dialogue around social justice, privilege, and systems of oppression. It recognizes that trauma is both deeply personal and inherently political—woven into the fabric of our collective and individual experiences. These experiences don’t happen in isolation but are shaped by the broader political and social landscape we live in.
Wildheart is the part of us shaped by nature — instinctive, resilient, and where aliveness can be found beneath the surface. Life’s storms, losses, and long winters can cause this part to retreat, as we focus on enduring rather than living. In therapy, we create a steady, grounded space where our hearts can slowly re-emerge, like growth returning after fire, reconnecting us with our inner rhythm, strength, and capacity to heal.
