At Changing Tide Wellness & Support Services, our home is right here on the South Coast, NSW, where community means everything to us. We’re not just an organisation; we’re a group of people committed to making life healthier and happier for everyone.

Our dream? To see every person in Australia living a fulfilled, joyful life, no matter where they come from or what they’ve been through.

So, how do we make this dream real?

We’re all about giving the people in our community the tools they need to thrive. That means we’re here to share knowledge, skills, and a whole lot of support. Our goal is to help each person take charge of their wellbeing and build a life that’s full of health and happiness.

Our Story.

In 2018, our Sydney-based story took a turn toward the serenity of the South Coast, lured by the sea’s healing powers. James and I, along with our young family, aimed for a life surrounded by the waves and coastal breeze of Jervis Bay.

Immersing ourselves in the local community, we found purpose in providing Mental health and Disability support services to our community members. Our separate journeys in counseling and support services took flight, but a beautiful realisation dawned on us: together, we could achieve more. And so, in 2021, the amalgamation of Kat’s Counseling Practice and James’s Support Services business gave birth to Changing Tide Wellness & Support Services.

Starting small, we quickly understood that to truly make waves of change, we needed to grow. With this realisation, Changing Tide embarked on an expansion. More hands joined our cause, more projects blossomed, and the transition to a Not-for-profit model widened our scope for impact.

Today, as we continue to navigate this remarkable journey, our commitment remains steadfast. Our shared values of empowerment, ethical practice, and community-driven growth steer our ship. We’re not just here to ride the tides; we’re here to be the change along these ever-shifting shores, weaving support and wellness into the fabric of our community’s story.
