Building Strong, Emotionally Resilient Young People

Trauma-informed counselling in Cairns for children, teenagers, and their families.

You’re Doing Your Best. But It Still Feels Hard.

As a parent, you’re doing everything you can, but sometimes, things still feel out of balance.

Maybe your child or teen is:

Struggling to manage big emotions

Withdrawing, seeming sad or anxious

Having trouble with friendships, school, or family relationships

Experiencing nightmares, clinginess, or or acting out

Facing big life changes they're finding hard to make sense of

At Unfurl, we create a safe, supportive space where your child or teen can express themselves, process their experiences, and recover and thrive. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

How We Support
Young People

Our approach is sensitive, creative, and tailored to each child or teenager’s developmental stage. Using play, conversation, art, and movement, we help them:

Build emotional regulation skills

Strengthen resilience and confidence

Improve communication and connection with trusted adults

Develop healthier ways to navigate challenges

Parents are supported as essential partners in the process, with tools and insights to strengthen relationships at home.

What Sessions Feel Like

Every session is guided by your child's needs and interests. For younger children, sessions may involve play and art. For teens, a mix of gentle conversation and practical tools.

Safety, trust, and your child’s sense of agency are always at the heart of our work.
