An Intergrated Approach
A Dedicated Team
At Life Therapies Victoria, we know that a ‘one size fits all’ approach to wellbeing doesn’t work. We also know that some things work for a while but then lose their effectiveness.
Thus we have a range of counselling modalities and approaches that you can select from.
Counselling, Psychology, Forest Therapy, Horticulture, Sand Play, Yoga, plus a range of workshops and wellbeing days are among the growing list of what’s on offer.
At Life Therapies Victoria, we have a diverse and growing team of therapists working both in person and online.
You can select to work with any of the team (dependant on availability) or you can ask us to match you to a team member that we feel is best suited to your needs.
Our team members are tertiary trained, are fully insured, have regular supervision, engaged in professional development and are members of the ACA or PACFA.
Where to find us.
The Life Therapies Victoria Centre is located in the beautiful township of Warrandyte, surrounded by the Warrandyte State Forest. Native birds are frequent visitors to our balcony, and the Yarra River flows past just a few hundred metres away.
If you’re planning to come for a face to face session, please read the instructions carefully and check the map as it can be tricky to find.
We’re behind the Now and Not Yet Cafe, 148-150 Yarra Street Warrandyte, however the entrance to our driveway is off Webb Street.
Parking is available in the Community Centre off Webb Street or in any of the free car parking bays around the township. Please do not park in the spaces either side of our building as these are private property.
If you get lost, give your counsellor a call! They will come out to find you!

Getting Unstuck
Life Therapies Victoria offers counselling to individuals, couples and families that find themselves in one of those tricky ‘stuck places’ in life.
The aim will not be to diagnose you with anything, but to work with you to achieve the goals you have set, or to manage life circumstances as required.
No GP referral is needed to see a counsellor.
Letting Nature Heal
Life Therapies offers a range of nature-based wellbeing activities including Forest Therapy, Nature Play, Nature Art, Terrarium building and Horticulture Therapy.
No experience is required to take part in these nature based programs.
You will be accompanied by a trained counsellor with experience in using nature as a wellbeing modality, ensuring you aare safe at all times.
Breath and Movement
It sounds simple – we all know how to breath and move! But the connection between the mind, our breathing and the way we move is profound.
Join us for one of our yoga/movement classes or sign up for an individual session.
Alternatively, walk and talk sessions are offered at all of our locations.
Get Creative
You don’t have to be artistic to be creative!
At Life Therapies Victoria, we’re developing a range of creative programs – from terrarium building to drumming – all designed to be both fun and good for you.
Wellbeing Days
Sometimes an hour or two is not enough.
The Life Therapies Victoria Wellbeing Days combine a range of activities (including lunch) that give you the opportunity to slow down and focus on nothing but your own wellbeing.
Supervision
Life Therapies Victoria provides supervision to professionals seeking to maintain their accreditation or have outside input into their work practice.
