3rd Mind

Creative psychoeducation, art therapy, and counselling programs supporting recovery, healing and reintegration.

Delivered for organisations and individuals across AOD, justice, NDIS and community settings.

Psychoeducation is therapeutic education. It offers practical learning about emotions, behaviour and recovery. “Creative” means we use structured activities that deepen engagement and insight.

What we do

3rd Mind integrates evidence-based and evidence-informed frameworks with creative therapeutic processes and lived experience-informed facilitation. This combination supports clarity and engagement.

Sustainable progress requires space to recognise emotional patterns and understand how these influence responses over time.

The focus is on strengthening awareness, shaping insight into actionable steps, and plans that support consistency.

We work with young people, adults and older adults.

Organisations

We partner with services, teams, and community organisations.

We deliver programs directly to participants and provide training and workshops that strengthen staff and team capacity.
