Counsellor-led group wellbeing · Sydney
We all have spaces to perform. But where are the spaces to be human?
We bring structured group connection into the spaces you already have. Small groups, run by counsellors, built around honest conversation.
The most powerful tool for human wellbeing isn't an app, a podcast, a pulse survey or a mental health day.
It's other people.
The most connected communities aren't accidental. They're structured. We run counsellor-led groups inside your community so people find each other, and keep coming back.
When 3RDSPACE runs inside your community, people don't just show up
They come back.
For your people
Feeling more connected to the people around them. Participating more deeply over time. Feeling less alone.
For you
Higher retention and return rates. Stronger community culture. More impact from the programs you already run.
How a session works
Every group is different. Every session follows the same three stages.
Think.
We bring the content. Evidence-informed topics, structured activities and questions designed to open people up rather than shut them down.
Talk.
We open the discussion. Real questions, honest responses, no advice giving. People say the things they don't usually say out loud, and find out others feel the same way.
Grow.
Every session closes with something practical to take away. A skill, a reflection, a shift. People leave different to how they arrived.
Who we work with
3RDSPACE works wherever people come together.
Working in law? Our programs support psychosocial safety at work, and sessions may be claimed towards CPD on a self-assessed basis.
