A Compassionate, Evidence-Based Approach to Residential Care
Palladium Private offers a structured residential program for clients experiencing mental health challenges, trauma-related concerns, and patterns of alcohol dependency or drug dependency. Our approach brings together evidence-based therapy, holistic supports, and a calm environment away from day-to-day pressures.
Over more than 20 years, we’ve developed an integrated model that supports clients to understand their symptoms, explore contributing patterns, and develop practical strategies for long-term wellbeing. Each client follows a structured daily schedule that includes individual therapy, psychoeducation, physical wellbeing activities, and time for rest and reflection.
Our multidisciplinary team includes qualified therapists, counsellors, an on-site nurse, and allied health practitioners, alongside staff with lived experience, including veterans who understand the challenges many clients face when living with trauma and stress. Together, they provide steady, compassionate support throughout each client’s stay.

Optional Activities That Support Wellbeing
Alongside the core therapeutic program, clients have access to a range of optional experiences designed to support rest, grounding and overall wellbeing. These gently complement the clinical work and help clients reconnect with daily routines in a calm and supportive environment.
Clients may choose to spend time:
– Walking through the grounds or enjoying quiet spaces in nature
– Relaxing in the pool or sauna
– Taking part in gentle movement or mindfulness sessions
– Joining informal group activities, such as shared meals or low-key outdoor time
– Participating in occasional off-site outings, depending on the program schedule and staff availability
These experiences are not prescribed and may vary depending on each client’s needs, staff availability, and the season. They are intended to offer moments of calm, connection and grounding throughout the therapeutic process.
Evidence-Based Therapeutic Approaches
Clients participate in regular one-to-one therapy sessions supported by psychoeducation and reflective group learning. Our team draws on well-established, evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s needs.
These may include:
– CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) – understanding patterns in thoughts and behaviours
– ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) – building flexibility and coping skills
– Schema-informed therapy – exploring long-term patterns shaped by past experiences
– Mindfulness-based approaches – supporting grounding and emotional regulation
– Psychodynamic and relational approaches – understanding how past experiences influence current responses
– Psychoeducation – learning practical skills to manage symptoms and stress
Holistic Supports
Alongside structured therapy, clients have access to holistic supports that promote grounding, rest and overall wellbeing during their stay. These gentle activities complement the therapeutic work and help clients reconnect with daily routines in a calm environment.
Holistic supports may include:
– Mindfulness and grounding practices
– Gentle movement or yoga
– Personal training or physical wellbeing sessions
– Remedial massage
– Time in nature, quiet spaces and restorative environments
(Activities may vary depending on client needs, staff availability and the program schedule.)
Our Aftercare Program
Aftercare planning begins early in the residential program and is finalised before clients return home. The focus is on helping clients maintain the progress made during their stay and stay connected with appropriate supports.
Aftercare may include:
– Scheduled check-ins with a Program Facilitator for up to three months
– Supportive follow-up calls to review progress and discuss challenges
– A personalised Aftercare Plan, outlining recommended services, routines and supports
– Guidance for engaging with local health professionals and community resources
– Resources and strategies to help manage stress, triggers and wellbeing at home
(Aftercare inclusions may vary based on each client’s needs and clinical recommendations.)
Our Treatment Approach
Our residential program is built on an integrated, evidence-based model that supports clients to understand their symptoms, explore contributing factors and develop practical strategies for long-term wellbeing.
Therapy focuses on increasing insight, strengthening coping skills and creating space for new patterns of thinking and behaviour. Clients work closely with therapists and facilitators to explore their history, current stressors and the ways these may be influencing daily life.
The program provides a structured environment away from everyday pressures, allowing clients to focus on their recovery with consistent therapeutic and practical support. Over time, many clients experience greater clarity, stability and confidence as they put new skills into practice.
Our program includes:
Individual Therapy
Group Therapy
Medical Support
Yoga Therapy & Personal Training
Massage
Nourishing Meals
Our goal is to help you step away from the daily pressures and uncover what’s really going on, then give you the tools, space, and support to move through it. Whether you’re seeking a mental health rehab or a more compassionate alternative to hospital-based care, Palladium Private offers a path forward.
