Where big feelings find
a soft place to land.
We know that the space between "magic moments" can feel overwhelming. At Nurtured Minds, we don't look for perfection; we look for connection.
Whether you are navigating big feelings, neurodivergent ripples, or the quiet challenges of the everyday, we provide a hopeful, non-judgmental space for you and your child. We are here to hold space for your child’s development and a nurturing hand for you as you navigate the "everything in between."
Meet Jacquie.
Jacquie Ward is a Psychologist who works with children, adolescents and their families. She believes that the most powerful work happens when we lead with connection over correction. With a background in evidence-based science and a heart for the "messy" reality of parenting, she has created Nurtured Minds to be a soft place for big feelings to land. Equally, it’s a place to develop underdstanding, and resource parents so that they can get back to the joy & connection of family. Nurtured Minds supports clients across Australia - both in person (Engadine, South Sydney and Surry Hills, Sydney central) or via tele-health.
"Safety is not the absence of threat;
it is the presence of connection."
— Dr. Mona Delahooke, PhD
Our approach is led by evidence-based clinical practice and a deep understanding of brain-body science. Jacquie Ward brings years of experience to her work, ensuring that every intervention is as scientifically sound as it is kindly delivered. We move beyond surface-level behaviours to understand the nervous system, celebrating every mind exactly as it is.
