🌸 Important Update from Blossomtree Psychology🌸After many wonderful years supporting children, families, and our community here in Ballarat, Blossomtree Psychology is no longer accepting new referrals.
This decision comes as part of a planned transition — our Director, Chelle Houghton, will be relocating interstate in July 2026 to take up a full-time leadership role in New South Wales. Between now and then, we’ll be focusing on caring for our current clients and ensuring that every child, family, and referrer is supported through a thoughtful and well-planned transition. 💚 Our Deepest Thanks💚 To the Ballarat community, families, schools, referrers, and colleagues — thank you for the trust, kindness, and connection you’ve shown over the years. It’s been an incredible privilege to walk alongside so many children and families, to witness growth and resilience, and to be part of such a caring professional community. Your support has helped Blossomtree become a safe, warm, and playful space for healing — one we will always hold close to heart. 🌸 What This Means No new referrals: We’re now closed to all new referral enquiries. Waitlist: Everyone who was previously on our waitlist has been contacted by our admin team with information about alternate local services and options for ongoing support. Current clients: We’ll continue working together through to June 2026, discussing good goodbyes and/or warm handovers to trusted providers. Referrers & GPs: Please redirect new referrals to other clinicians. With client consent, we can provide brief summaries to assist continuity of care. 🌸 If You’re Seeking Support While we can’t offer new appointments, you might consider: Speaking with your GP about referral options Contacting your Primary Health Network or local mental health access service If you need immediate help: call 000 Crisis supports: Lifeline — 13 11 14 1800RESPECT — 1800 737 732 Kids Helpline — 1800 55 1800 🌸 Looking Ahead Blossomtree will always remain a part of Chelle’s heart and professional story — a place built on relationships, creativity, and compassion. As she moves into her new chapter, she carries forward everything learned and shared here in Ballarat with deep gratitude. We suspect she'll always do a little Blossomtree on the side even in NSW 😉. 🌸Thank you for being part of the Blossomtree journey.🌸

Blossomtree is an Infant, Child, & Family Psychology Practice.
Blossomtree Psychology was born out of a shared passion and desire to help others. Chelle and Jess, the original founders of Blossomtree Psychology, were both born and raised in country Victoria. We have often reflected on our experiences of being raised not only by our families, but also by our rural communities, and the strong influence this upbringing has had on the paths we have taken in our lives. We have experienced first hand the concept that ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ and it is this ideal that drives us to want to give back to our local community by supporting the children, adolescents and families who make up our community. We chose the Blossomtree to represent our way of working; as for both of us it has significant meaning. While it is a symbol from our own childhoods, the Blossomtree’s life cycle also represents the opportunity for regeneration, and growth, and shows us that with support, nurture and guidance, we and those we work with, can find a renewed strength and be given the opportunity to blossom. In the years we have been practising as psychologists there has been no greater gift than the privilege of being invited into the journey of growth and to walk that path alongside the children and families we work with. In all of the work we do we carry with us the powerful lessons that these children and their families have taught us through their journey. We know that it is important for babies, children and their families to feel supported, and we work to ensure that each and everyone we work with feels heard, safe and respected. 🌸 With Deep Gratitude from Blossomtree Psychology 🌸 As Blossomtree begins the gentle process of winding down over the coming year, I want to take a moment to pause and say thank you — to our beautiful Ballarat community, to the families who have trusted us with their stories, and to the children who have filled our rooms with curiosity, courage, laughter, and growth. It has been the greatest privilege and honour to walk alongside so many of you — through moments of healing, discovery, and connection. The trust you have placed in Blossomtree, and in me, has never been taken for granted. Every conversation, every small step forward, every shared smile has mattered deeply. To the parents, carers, referrers, teachers, and colleagues who have supported our work and collaborated with us along the way — thank you for your generosity, compassion, and shared commitment to the wellbeing of children and families. While this marks the closing of one very special chapter, Blossomtree will always remain rooted in the relationships, community, and trust that helped it grow. With warmth, gratitude, and love, Chelle 🌸 Blossomtree Psychology *please administrative support is available Tuesday and Wednesday by phone or email only* |
