Why break free of the therapy room?

For people who may feel ‘stuck’ when confined to a room, taking a nature-based approach can be a powerful way to connect and gain self-awareness in a safe and confidential setting. At Fearless Therapies, we believe in meeting you wherever works best: whether that means counselling while walking on the beach, or a mentoring session in your own back yard.

More about what we do

  • "I was lucky that my 14 year old son’s psychologist referred us onto Simon and his company Fearless. My son was not opening up to enable him to break down his barriers in life with his psychologist, even though he trusted him and had been with us for many years. Our psychologist explained that Fearless had a different approach that may well help my autistic son breach those barriers. He couldn’t have been more accurate, now his sessions aren’t in an office an hours travel away, they are in the bush mountain biking, bush walking or swimming. This new approach has been so successful with my son Fearless also now is helping my other son and they are both better young men for the experience. I couldn’t thank Simon enough. Thank you Simon."

    Dave (Parent)

  • “My son Charlie looks forward to seeing Simon and the adventures they share together. From being a child who enjoyed staying inside he now enjoys the outdoors and Simon has gained Charlie’s trust along the way. I highly recommend Fearless as a Counsellor to any family."

    Denise (Parent)

  • “It’s been fabulous having Simon supporting our son. Simons professional, calm and easy going nature makes him a great role model. We have seen positive behaviour changes in our son, in a really short time frame. Thanks Fearless! ”

    Anna (Parent)

  • “Simon is nice and cool. I like hanging out with him. He’s helping me be a better person.”

    Zach, 13 years

  • "We are incredibly grateful for the support you've given our young person. After struggling with traditional face-to-face counselling, he was feeling overwhelmed and closed off. Your nature-based, active approach has been a game-changer — combining movement, the outdoors, and trust-building with genuine therapeutic work. Through your guidance, he is finally finding his voice, building confidence, and feeling safe enough to express himself. EMDR has played a powerful role in helping him process trauma in a way that feels manageable and empowering. He now looks forward to sessions that blend emotional healing with sport, swimming, and connection. You've helped him rediscover hope and the courage to keep moving forward. Thank you — we are forever thankful."

    Kinship Carer

  • "After supporting this young person through multiple service referrals with limited success, it’s been incredibly positive to see the engagement and progress made here. The nature-based and active approach, combined with EMDR, has allowed them to feel safe and regulated while starting to process significant trauma. There’s been a noticeable shift in their confidence, communication, and emotional resilience. This model of therapy is clearly meeting them where they’re at — and it’s working, thank you."

    Child Protection Caseworker

  • "After years of struggling to connect with traditional services, we finally found someone who truly sees and hears our young person. The nature-based approach made all the difference. They now feel empowered, regulated, and engaged in therapy for the first time — we’ve seen growth in confidence, emotional awareness, and hope, thanks Simon at Fearless."

    Foster Carer

  • "This young person has a long history of disengagement, impulsivity, and difficulty with emotional regulation. Since engaging in this therapeutic model, which integrates outdoor activity and therapy, there has been a clear improvement in their ability to self-regulate, reflect, and engage meaningfully. They’re no longer avoiding support — they’re asking for it. The trust built here has been pivotal."

    Caseworker

  • "This person has faced real challenges with routine, transitions, and managing their emotions due to their ASD diagnosis. What’s made a difference here is the consistent, calm, and flexible way therapy is delivered — often outdoors and always attuned to the young person’s needs. It’s helped lower their anxiety and slowly build coping strategies that actually work for them. The connection they’ve built with the therapist has brought some much-needed stability, and it’s been a real support for both the young person and the care team around them."

    NDIS Support Coordinator

  • "For a long time, I struggled with sleepless nights, and my trauma was taking over my life. My routine was chaotic, and no matter what I tried, I couldn’t find any peace. Since starting nature-based therapy with EMDR at Fearless Therapies, everything has shifted. Being outside, having the space to process, and learning practical tools like breathing exercises have helped me manage my stress in ways I never thought were possible. Not only have I been able to sleep better, but my nightmares have completely gone — something I never thought I could escape. I’m also learning how to handle my emotions and face life’s challenges with new strength. I feel more confident, stable, and empowered — it’s completely changed my life, thanks Simon at Fearless."
