Workplace Health Centre

Improving mental & emotional
health.

Bespoke and holistic support for people and organisations.

Burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma can lead to unexplained emotional swings, depression, a diminished capacity for empathy, and anger. This can leave people (often the best, most caring people) being disengaged from their work, unmotivated, and unwell. We are a small, nimble company based in Sydney so we can step in and work with you or your organisation and prevent and overcome burnout, compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma, and help you emerge with enhanced resilience and strength.

We are proud to support organisations across Australia and New Zealand.
