About us
Our Story
Nurturing Hearts and Minds
At The Heart and Mind Hub, we started with a clear mission: to create a safe, supportive place where young minds can grow. We understand the unique challenges that children, early teens, and adolescents face, and we aim to help them explore their emotions and build resilience.
We are passionate about mental health and wellbeing. We work closely with families to provide personalised care, ensuring that each child feels understood and valued.
We believe in involving the whole family in the journey to emotional wellbeing. By working together, we create a nurturing environment that supports growth and development.
At The Heart and Mind Hub, we are committed to confidentiality, trust, and ethical practice. We are more than just counsellors – we are partners in your child’s journey towards emotional and mental wellbeing.
Join us in creating a community where every heart and mind can thrive.
Meet Ash
Hello and a Warm Welcome!
I’m Ash, a dedicated Mental Health Counsellor registered with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA). With a strong background in counselling, I focus on the emotional, social, and developmental well-being of children.
My goal is to empower children with the tools they need to handle challenges and build a positive future.
I believe in involving families and working closely with schools and caregivers to provide comprehensive support.
Cultural competence is important to me, and I respect the diverse backgrounds of the children and families we serve.
Together, we can create a nurturing environment where every child can thrive.

How we Work
Our Process in Four Simple Steps
This streamlined process ensures that each child receives the personalised care and support they need to thrive emotionally and mentally.
Initial Meeting: We'll start with a thorough consultation where you'll discuss your child's concerns and goals with our counsellor. We'll gather background information to understand their needs comprehensively.
Building Trust: Next, we'll work on establishing a comfortable and trusting relationship with your child using age-appropriate activities. This helps us understand their thoughts, emotions, and concerns.
Set Goals: Together, we'll define specific, achievable goals that your child wants to work towards. We'll then create a tailored treatment plan using the most suitable therapeutic techniques.
Engaging Sessions: We'll conduct sessions that are engaging and effective for your child's age and needs. We'll continuously monitor progress, adjusting strategies as needed, and involve you in the process to support your child's ongoing growth and development
