How It Works
Getting Started
Step 2
Book
Once approved, get in touch to schedule your first session at a time that fits around shift work. In-person and online appointments are both available.
Step 3
Work Together
Sessions focus on whatever is most pressing — stress, sleep, relationships, exposure to critical incidents, or maintaining long-term wellbeing in a demanding role.
Confidential & Independent
Sessions are held outside the QPS workplace. Notes are kept privately; only program-required acknowledgements are shared with the program administrators.
The work is practical and confidential — supporting shift work, exposure, family strain, and the long arc of a policing career without requiring you to explain yourself inside the organisation first.
In-Person or Online
Sessions are available at the Stafford rooms or via secure online video — useful for shift work, regional postings, or travel.
Once your self-referral nominates Timber Therapy and approval is confirmed, we book around your roster. For privately funded sessions outside the program, see referral, funding and fees.
