our approach

At Tiny Warriors Studio, we provide professional, trauma-informed, and game-informed mental health support designed for young adults, parents, and veterans.

Our services include 1-on-1 therapy for deep personal work, group support for those who thrive in party systems, and accessible resources for players just starting their journey. You don’t need to explain what a cooldown is, why you need time offline, or how gaming connects you to the world — we already speak your language. No matter your class, play-style, or progress, you’re welcome here.

At our core, we offer a range of mental health services crafted with gamers in mind — because we get it. Life can feel like an endless grind, and sometimes you need more than just a health potion to get through it. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship issues, trauma, or just feeling stuck in a side quest you didn’t sign up for, we’ve got your back.

Tiny Warriors Studio is a mental health practice that uses the structure, creativity, and community of gaming—like video games, role-playing games, and war games—to support your mental health journey. We work with young adults, parents, and veterans to heal through therapy that’s immersive, relatable, and empowering.

Not at all! We use gaming as a tool and language, but you don’t have to be a pro or even a player.

We’ve worked with CEO’s of multi-national companies, through to the unemployed. Your race, class, background type, gender, sexual orientation and spiritual openness is all welcome here.

If you connect with stories, strategy, imagination, or simply want therapy that feels more human and less clinical—you’re in the right spot.

We offer:

– 1-on-1 Therapy (Solo Campaign Mode)
– Group Therapy (Co-Op Campaigns)
– Access Pass (Affordable Mental Health Support)
– Free Community Events (Live Streaming and Video)

We blend traditional therapy tools with narrative-based and experiential elements from gaming culture. All of it focused on getting you leveled up quicker and tackling life on your terms!

No. Not currently anyway. However using role playing games like Dungeons & Dragons or other role-playing systems to explore identity, build confidence, and heal from trauma has been successful. By creating a character and going on guided adventures that reflect real-world themes—with a trained therapist as your “Game Master” it simulates artificial environments that help translate into real-world engagement.

In effect, it’s practicing in a fun simulated environment before taking the experience gained and applying it to the real world.

Currently no. However we do with the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme here in Australia) for social activities, counselling and psychotherapy. Private health insurance will be coming onboard in the next few months (as of June, 2025)

Absolutely. We help overwhelmed parents and caregivers reconnect with themselves, navigate stress and burnout, and build emotional health for the whole family. Whether you’re a “dad tanking too much damage” or a mom running on zero mana—we’ve got you.

We can even show parents how to connect with their kids via the games they play.

Sure do! Whether you’re co-op partners IRL or feeling stuck in a relationship side quest, couples therapy can help you reconnect, communicate, and rebuild your team synergy. Our sessions are designed for gamer couples who want to navigate conflict, level up their bond, and play as a stronger duo. Let’s help you get back on the same server.

We offer small, themed therapy groups that feel more like co-op campaigns than lectures. Group types include:

– Anxiety/Depression + Burnout Recovery
– Existential, Meaning & Purpose, Identity struggles
– Veterans & First Responder Support
– RPG-Based Therapy Quests
– Parents of Young Kids
– Neurodivergent Young Adults

Group numbers are limited and each hold a maximum of 5 people per party. Often group topics will overlap but that is part of the healing process. To make sense of the situations and collaborate together on outcomes for maximum XP!

Yes—this is legit therapy and coaching.
We work with trauma, anxiety, reintegration stress, and identity loss post-service using proven clinical methods. The gaming isn’t the therapy (although let’s face it, sometimes it is!), nor is the gaming framework fluff—it’s a bridge to connection and healing.

We offer both:

Virtual therapy (anywhere we’re licensed, and coaching where we’re not)
In-person sessions (where available — Adelaide and Port Lincoln, South Australia)
Hybrid options for flexibility, depending on location

Virtual sessions are secure, engaging, and built to feel like immersive safe zones.

Right now, we primarily focus on older teens (14+), young adults (18+), parents, and veterans. However, we do offer family support coaching and parent-focused services. If you’re looking for services for younger teens or family therapy, reach out and we can see what we can do!

Start with a free 20-minute consult. We’ll chat about your goals and help you choose the best mode of support—whether that’s individual sessions, a support group, or starting with the Access Pass

Absolutely. Your privacy and safety are our top priority. All counselling sessions are 100% confidential and adhere to professional ethical standards. The only time that confidentiality is breached is due to harm to self or others (which is mandatory reporting for our therapists).

Let’s go!

even the mightiest hero started with a tiny step

Because even when we feel small, scared, or broken, there’s a part of us that’s still fighting. Still rising. Still ready to roll for initiative.
We honor the inner warrior in everyone—no matter how tiny they feel right now.
