Practical therapy tools for people who support young people.
Registered counsellor in Perth. Teens, adults, and the people who walk alongside them.
Every resource I've made, together in one place.
Six practical, ready-to-use kits for counsellors, school wellbeing staff, and anyone supporting young people through big feelings, hard conversations, and the patterns that keep showing up. All built and tested in a real counselling room, in warm, human language that doesn't sound like a clinical handout.
Inside the toolkit:
Say It Well, a hands-on DBT board game for teaching interpersonal effectiveness (DEAR MAN, GIVE, FAST).
Chain Reaction, a reusable, hands-on DBT chain analysis tool for one specific moment.
When Reactions Feel Bigger Than You Expected, a guided written workbook for understanding strong reactions.
Is This the Whole Story?, a workbook for noticing and widening unhelpful thoughts.
When Emotions Feel Too Big, a DBT TIPP skill workbook for calming the body fast.
The Flustered Flower, a gentle psychoeducation resource for understanding the nervous system.
Buy them together and save around $23 on the individual prices.
Digital download only. One practitioner licence. Working across a team or service? A multi-practitioner licence is available, just get in touch.
A little about me.
Hi, I'm Eb - a registered counsellor and school counsellor based in Perth, Australia.
I work with teens and adults to help them make sense of their emotions, their relationships, and the patterns that keep showing up in how they move through life.
Alongside counselling sessions, I create practical therapy tools that take complex psychological concepts and turn them into something people can actually use day to day.
The resources on this site are the same worksheets, activities, and frameworks I use in my own sessions, built to support emotional regulation, communication, and identity development without sounding like a clinical handout.
Counsellors, teachers, parents, or anyone curious about their own emotional wellbeing - these tools are made to be used, not just read.

Some of the hardest moments in this work are the ones where a young person wants to open up but can't find the words. They're new to therapy, everything feels like a spotlight, and "so how are you feeling?" gets you a shrug.
This Is My Island is the activity I built for exactly those moments.
Instead of answering questions, the young person builds their own island out of cutout pieces - and the building does the talking. The whole island is their world, and each part opens up a different conversation: what keeps them steady, who's safe and close, what's worrying them, who they can reach, how they're feeling, and where they're heading. They place the pieces wherever feels right, and where things land tells you what words often can't. Someone who'd never say "I don't feel close to my dad right now" will quietly place him out in the water — and there's your way in.
It's warm, it's interactive, and it builds the relationship while it's happening. It works beautifully with teens, and just as well with adults who tend to intellectualise or talk around things.
What's inside:
A printable A3 island board (laminate to reuse)
A full cutout library - people, comforts, worries, weather, bridges and more
Blank pieces for anything that's missing
Six zone prompt cards, each with a question to ask and what it tends to open up
A facilitator guide covering how to run it, how to read the board, and how to gently follow a young person who stalls
A few notes: This is a relational, get-to-know-you tool — not an assessment. It's designed to sit alongside your usual practice, not replace clinical judgement. Print it, laminate it, and it's yours to reuse again and again.
I made this because it's genuinely one of my favourite things to bring into a session - and I'd love for it to be useful in yours. If you use it, I'd love to hear how it goes.
