Acknowledgement Of Country
I acknowledge the lands on which I operate are the traditional lands for the Kaurna & Peramangk people and that I respect their spiritual relationship with their Country. I also acknowledge the Kaurna and Peramangk people as the custodians of these regions and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living people today. I pay respects to the cultural authority of First Nations people from other areas of South Australia/Australia that I encounter in this work.
About Hive Minds Therapy
Jonathan Breach (he/him)
Neurodivergent-affirming ADHD & Autism Counsellor | Founder of Hive Minds Therapy
As a late-diagnosed AuDHD professional, I established Hive Minds Therapy to provide the authentic, lived-experience mental health support I struggled to find myself. I am a registered member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA #26636), specializing in neuro-affirming therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Geek Therapy for clients in Morphett Vale, Adelaide, and nationwide via telehealth.
Just as I am looking forward to getting to know you and how we might be able to collaborate, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you about my journey...
I have held diverse roles in healthcare including the trialing & regulation of medicines for pain, addiction, psychiatry, epilepsy and over-the-counter, and undertook formal qualifications in Western herbal medicine.
I later shifted to the wine industry for roles in regulation / government advocacy. Something that was profoundly new was being involved in an industry embedded with deep stories & heritage, multigenerational relationships between regional grape grower and winemaking families that embody multicultural Australia. Also of great importance was their delicate relationship with small communities, the land & a rapidly changing climate. All this brought to the fore the difficult mental health burdens experienced by many living in farming communities.
I have long had a strong drive for creative expression from being a musician, writer, table-top RPG games master and bibliophile, and believe the arts & mental health have a critical symbiotic relationship.
