Reignite the spark in the work you love - without losing yourself.

For clinical leaders, therapists, clinicians, and service providers ready to skill up, stress down and flourish.

Starts Monday, November 3.

' I have been able to anchor myself'

'Since participating in the program, I have felt grounded in my personal and professional life. In times of overwhelming stress, I have been able to anchor myself. I highly recommend other helping professionals to participate in the program with Minky - her knowledge, group facilitation and supportive experiences have supported me to thrive in my clinical practice and personal life'.

Pip (Therapist & Educational Consultant)

You became a clinician because you care deeply...

... you want to help people, ease suffering, and make a difference in the world.

But right now, that care may be costing you more than you imagined.


You're wondering how you can stay in the work you love, while also protecting your own wellbeing?

Our training (and the cultures we work within) taught us to:
• keep the personal and professional separate
• put others first
• hide our feelings and
• put on a brave face.

And somehow, we’re still expected to stay attuned, present, and deeply responsive to the pain in front of us.

It’s no wonder so many clinicians and service leaders are leaving the work they love...

... not because they stop caring, but because they were never taught how to be well while caring.

When we try to protect ourselves, we end up swinging between...
- putting on a brave face and detaching,

- or feeling everything and drowning in it.


Neither work.

Both lead to depletion, numbness, and disconnection - from yourself and from what you value most.

Flourish offers another way ... a grounded, compassionate path to stay connected without being consumed.


Because you are not the problem.


The system, and the outdated ways we’ve been taught to cope, are.


There’s a gentler, wiser way forward.

Does this sound familiar?

  • “I just want to sleep through the night"

  • “I’ve got nothing left to give”

  • “I can't keep going with the relentless grind”

  • “I just want to be present for my kids”

Or maybe it looks more like :

  • Brain fog & burnout

  • Self doubt & a harsh inner critic

  • Perfectionism, procrastination, imposter syndrome

  • Feeling isolated in your work

If you’re nodding along, you’re not alone.


And most importantly, there is another way.

It's not you, it's the system.

You care deeply about your work.

Whether you're in a large hospital, a community service or in private practice,

the truth is that health systems are struggling.

And the impact on therapists and clinicians is immense.

This isn’t about you not being resilient enough.
It’s about problematic systems and the cumulative toll on clinicians.

Because while you may be replaceable at work, you are irreplaceable in your own life.

This is what flourishing in your work really looks like.

  • Walking out of a tough session with clarity instead of self-doubt. 

  • Being present with your family, because you know how to leave the stress at the door. 

  • Falling asleep with ease, without the 2am scaries or replaying every detail.

  • Feeling alive, present, and resourced, so you can bring your best to the work you love.

  • Breathing out... so you can read that book, take that hike or have a nap without guilt.

  • Trusting your instincts instead of second-guessing every decision.

  • Enjoying time with friends and family, without feeling like a shell of yourself.

  • Meeting challenges with compassion, instead of self criticism or perfectionism.

And if you're in leadership, imagine the ripple effect if your team could feel like this too:

  • More present and less drained with clients.

  • Clearer, calmer, more creative.

  • Ending the day feeling satisfied and purposeful, instead of depleted.

  • Fewer sick days, fewer resignations, and stronger morale.

  • Enjoying the work they love.

That’s what flourishing looks like on a systems level: clinicians who can process stress effectively, support one another, and keep bringing their best to the people they serve.

Flourish supports organisations to retain experienced staff, strengthen psychological safety, and uphold quality of care, without adding to anyone’s workload.

This isn’t wishful thinking.

It’s possible with the right tools, practices, and a community who gets it.

'Doing this program was one of the best choices I made'

"Doing this program was one of the best choices I made, and I reflect back on the subjects modules and resources in my practice , to evolve and maintain better ways for my work and home balance. I’m fortunate to be in a job where I get to experience very impactful, nourishing parts of my work and I can weave into my work some of the elements I have learned and still learn from, in doing the program." 

B. (Social Worker)

25 years of clinical expertise.

I’m Minky van der Walt, a Registered Music Therapist, psychotherapist, and clinical supervisor with over 25 years of clinical experience.

I've witnessed first-hand the cumulative toll of exhaustion, perfectionism, and self-doubt, and how broken systems can leave even the most dedicated clinicians running on empty.

What I also know is that with the right tools, support, and community, it’s possible to flourish again.

What I Offer You:

  • 25+ Years of Clinical Experience: insight from hospitals, community services, and private practice that helps me understand the challenges you’re facing.

  • Depth in Training & Practice: practical tools from neuroscience, somatic work, EMDR, and creative approaches that you can actually use in daily practice.

  • 20+ Years of Clinical Supervision: guidance that goes beyond theory, helping you translate your skills into sustainable, fulfilling work.

  • Lived Experience: I’ve been through the same challenges - I know what it takes to move from exhaustion and doubt to clarity and renewal.

Evidence-based, practical strategies

In the program I found others who felt similarly, and Minky was able to clearly put words to how I was feeling as well as explain the systemic challenges we face. I see that the work I do will take a toll on me, that this as an expected part of my work, and that I need to structure in counterbalances to this. Minky provided evidence based information to help understand the challenges that come through care giving professions and practical strategies to help stay well. It was so worthwhile I would recommend self funding the course, however it was approved for Continuing Medical Education.
