Nested Hearts

We nurture growth, healing, and connection through relational, neuro-affirming and trauma-responsive therapy.

Supporting children, young people, adults, families, and professionals. Individual & Family Therapy, Training & Supervision. Nested Hearts is the therapeutic practice of Sarah Daley, an experienced Child & Family Therapist, Registered Play Therapist (APPTA) and Accredited Social Worker (AASW) with a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Child Play Therapy. Sarah provides child and family therapy

with children and young people aged 2 to 16 years of age and their families. Sarah is now also working with adults offering Relational-Integrated EMDR. RI-EMDR is a powerful therapeutic approach that combines the proven effectiveness of attachment informed EMDR with the depths of Resource Therapy (parts work) and Somatic/Polyvagal work. If you are struggling to be the parent you want to be because of childhood wounds, RI-EMDR is an incredibly effective approach that helps you heal from past wounds and improve current relationships so you can be the parent you want to be. This is an incredibly nurturing and gentle therapy, and as an experienced child therapist, I am skilled at nurturing those child parts in you that are still hurting. Nested Hearts is a neuro-affirming and inclusive practice, where cultural humility is practiced at all times. Nested Hearts provides therapeutic services for children and young people under the NDIS and Sarah is also an accredited NSW Victim Services provider specialising in working with children, young people and adults who have experienced developmental and relational trauma. Sarah has experience in individual, family, group and community work and is available to facilitate training on request.

This! Thank you Curious Me Rethinking the use of calm down corners use them as a regulating space associated with calm not a place associated with punishment. Support children to notice what their body needs and go there with them dont send them there alone. Children regulate in relationship not isolation. If a child wants to be alone let that be their choice not their punishment.

I want to share the poem that I created at the Restoring Resilience and We Al-li Programs Recreating Songlings from Trauma Trails with Somatic Experiencing International on the weekend inspired by Aunty Judy Atkinson. I so enjoyed writing this poem, and even read it out with the hand of Aunty Judy on my back letting me know the ancestors had me! This was such an awesome process, as soon as I got home I did this with my children and husband and had them also create their own poems. So interesting to see how much they all enjoyed it as well. I will definitely be introducing this into my sessions with children both in groups and individually! Woah! Powerful stuff!

I am a fairy wren dancing in the rainforest.
I am a star in the night sky, dreaming.
I am a green frog swimming in the water in the border ranges.
