You've Got This and We've Got You
Evidence-based and compassionate support for parents and families in Cairns.
Parenting Shouldn’t Feel This Lonely. But Often It Does.
Our modern world often leaves parents juggling more than we can manage without crucial support. Parenting can feel exhausting, confusing and overwhelming.
You might be:
Struggling with your child’s behaviours or emotional needs
Feeling isolated or judged in your parenting role
Longing for calmer, stronger family relationships
Hoping to break intergenerational cycles of hurt and disconnection
At Unfurl, we walk alongside you to bring calm, connection, and resilience back into your family life.
How We Support Families
Using evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches like the Circle of Security, Protective Behaviours and The Shark Cage, we help parents and families:
Build stronger emotional connections
Break harmful intergenerational patterns with compassion
Foster emotional safety and secure attachment
Learn practical tools for navigating big feelings and behaviours
Together, we create a collaborative, shame-free space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered as a parent.
"I had the most amazing pleasure of having a Circle of Security session with Jakara. From start to finish it was incredibly informative and inspiring on how to continue to show up and be the best parent and person for my child. I highly recommend Jakara, she is a brilliant, caring, non judgemental and experienced therapist. One session for me changed my entire outlook on parenting and equipped me with the skills I didn’t know I needed to move forward. I hope to have more sessions with Jakara in the future!"
