What Makes Timber Therapy Different?
Unique Men’s Therapy
Hands-On Woodworking & Counselling
Talking isn’t always easy. That’s why we do things differently.
Talking isn’t always easy, especially for men and boys. That’s why Timber Therapy offers an alternative therapy approach for men—using woodworking to make counselling feel more natural and engaging. Woodworking therapy for men helps reduce stress, build resilience, and encourage open conversations. Whether you’re working on a project or just talking, our Brisbane-based men’s therapy is designed to help you move forward.
Why it Works:
✔ Conversations flow easier – The best talks often happen when you’re focused on something else.
✔ Builds confidence and resilience – Creating something with your hands helps you develop problem-solving skills and a sense of achievement.
✔ Reduces stress and boosts focus – The act of shaping wood can be meditative, helping to process emotions and clear the mind.
✔ No pressure, no expectations – Some clients prefer to work while talking, while others just talk. The choice is yours.
At the end of the day, it’s not about woodworking—it’s about what works for you. Whether you’re carving a new perspective or simply carving wood, Timber Therapy is here to help you move forward, one step at a time.
Group Work
Timber Therapy offers group work sessions as an engaging alternative to individual counselling. Our Brisbane group therapy programs focus on key areas such as parenting, parent-child connection, and general wellbeing—creating a space where people can connect, reflect, and grow while working on meaningful projects.
Group work fosters connection, encourages problem-solving, and builds resilience—all while crafting something with your hands. Whether participants work on individual or shared projects, the process naturally strengthens communication, patience, and collaboration.
For organisations, businesses, and community groups, Timber Therapy also offers tailored group programs. From team-building workshops to community engagement sessions, we create hands-on experiences that promote men’s mental health awareness.
If you’re looking for a practical, engaging way to bring people together, we can design a program to suit your needs.
The Father’s Apprenticeship
Becoming a dad is a big step, don’t take it alone.
The Father’s Apprenticeship workshop is designed for new and growing dads who want to be more present, more connected, and more intentional. You’ll explore what it really means to be a father today, learn how to support your child’s development, strengthen your relationship with your partner, and manage the everyday stress that comes with parenting.
It’s not about being perfect—it’s about showing up in the moments that matter.
