TKSC was founded in 2019 inspired by personal experiences and challenges with mental ill-health and eating disorder recovery.

The mission is to support, advocate, connect and build a group of peers who want to transform their relationship with their bodies, food, trauma, sexualities and identities so they can reclaim, rebuild and create a life that feels authentic to them.

Hey there, so happy you found us!

Lived Experience

Lived experience story sharing to support patients, clinicians and proffessionals who work alongside people experiencing mental ill-health by providing education, tools and hope of recovery.

There’s an epidemic of people at war with themselves. We're battling anxiety and stress largely attributed to cultural imprinting and social pressures paired with unconscious parenting, broken education systems and influences of multi-billion dollar corporations.

It's time to nurture individualism, intuitiveness, creativity, emotional, mental & spiritual well-being. It’s time we realised we are filling the pockets of huge industries that only make money from telling us we are doing everything wrong.

The Kindred Spirits Club hopes to provide a positive, entertaining voice alongside support, connection and education.

We strive to create a supportive community without shame, we want a connection of people who see through the fog of fuckery. We believe in the power of sharing, intuition and non-judgmental acceptance of one another.

In the words of Lizzo, 'woo child, tired of the bullshit'.

Principles

Individual Support

One to one sessions are a great opportunity to establish and work toward personal goals, learn healthy coping mechanisms and skills, while sharing in a supportive and non-judgemental space.

Support can include setting goals, understanding and overcoming roadblocks and obstacles, learning strategies for reaching out to others, exploring ambivalence and working with levels of motivation and stages of change, learning new skills and coping strategies to feel feelings and the development of identifying personal values and passions.
