Our Approach to Therapy at The Curious Kind
Curious Kind is a fierce, wild garden in the heart of the city, unafraid to hold messy stories, raw truths, and rooted optimism. Inspired by Mary Oliver’s invitation to consider “what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” We make space for transformation that unearths old narratives and sparks something new.
We believe healing is radical, rooted in story, shaped by culture, and powered by justice. Here, your truths are honoured with fierce kindness and bold curiosity as we build resilience and reimagine what’s possible.
Whether you’re wrestling with climate grief, untangling complicated friendships, or owning your beautiful, complex identity, we meet you with fierce kindness, curiosity, and no apologies. Bring your whole self contradictions, questions, and all. We’ve got your back.
Core Values That Shape Our Counselling Approach
Justice & Equity
We hold space for healing that doesn't ignore power, identity, or the structures we move through.
Climate & Collective Care
We recognize our healing as interconnected with the wellbeing of the earth and the communities we live in.
Consent-Centered & Trauma-Informed
Your pace, your choices, and your boundaries matter. Every step of the process is designed to support safety and agency.
Story-Based Healing
We honour personal and cultural narratives, knowing that story can be both medicine and guide.
Who We’re Here For
We work with adults and teens who care deeply about people, the planet, and creating a more just world. Many are navigating systemic injustice, identity shifts, relationship changes, or uncertain transitions. Whether you’re an artist or advocate, healing from harm or oppression, or simply ready to explore your story more fully, this is a space for compassion, connection, and care. We see problems as problems not people as problems. Therapy with us centres your voice, honours your experience, and supports your wellbeing at your own pace, and in your own way. It is a space to grow into your preferred way of being, with care and intention.
