For workplaces
Wellbeing your team will actually show up for.
Counsellor-led group sessions that give your people a structured, confidential space to connect, talk honestly and take something useful back to work.

Why it matters
Most workplace wellbeing stops at the app.
Apps, webinars and EAP numbers have their place, but they rarely change how a team feels day to day. What helps is time with colleagues to talk about the real pressures of the job, with someone skilled holding the room.
NSW employers are also expected to identify and manage psychosocial hazards like high demands, poor support and conflict. Structured group sessions are one practical, visible way to show your team that wellbeing is taken seriously.
3RDSPACE runs small, facilitated groups inside your organisation, at times that suit your people.
How we work with you
Built around your team.
We listen first
We start by talking with you about your people and what's going on for them, before suggesting anything.
We design the series
Topics, timing and format shaped to your workplace, whether that's one team or the whole organisation.
We run it and check in
Counsellor-led sessions, with feedback along the way so the series keeps fitting.
How a session works
Think. Talk. Grow.
Think.
We bring the content. Evidence-informed topics and structured activities that open people up.
Talk.
We open the discussion. Honest responses, no advice giving, and the relief of hearing others feel the same.
Grow.
Every session closes with something practical: a skill, a reflection, a shift people take back to work.
Let's talk about your team.
Tell us about your organisation and your people. We'll work out together what would help.

Every group is different, but each session follows the same 3 stages.
-
We bring the content. Evidence-informed topics, structured activities, and questions designed to open people up rather than shut them down.
-
We open the discussion. Real questions, honest responses, no advice-giving. Just people saying the things they don't usually say out loud, and finding out others feel the same way.
-
Every session closes with something practical to take away. A skill, a reflection, a shift. People leave different to how they arrived.
