‘REGROUP’ means to reassemble after attack or defeat OR to stop for a short time and prepare, before continuing to do something that is difficult. Our name and logo, convey recovery processes that bring parts together, and achieve the therapeutic objective to align cognition, emotion and the body’s responses.

In counselling with Joy, ALL are welcome. No topic is off limits and your comfort, is priority. We cultivate an environment of care, curiosity, clarity and containment, as your treatment plan develops; tailored to your individual, biological, psychological and social needs.

The REGROUP ETHOS ensures you will feel heard and seen, as Joy connects with youth and the aged alike. Together we will manage mental health challenges, life stressors, facilitate change, support adjustment and enhance function. You can expect to understand yourself and others better, learn new ways of seeing, and trial tools and targeted psychological strategies, proven to improve coping, connection and communication.
