The Therapists Haven is a warm, grounded therapist mentoring membership for therapists who want more than clinical tips or professional development. It is a place to feel seen in both the mess and the magic of your work, connect with people who truly understand what you hold, and grow your confidence in a way that feels deeply human.
So many of us enter this profession because we care. We care about children, families, systems, advocacy, and doing no harm. But caring deeply without a place to process, reflect, and be supported often means carrying everything alone. Over time it becomes heavy. I know that because I have lived it. I have been the whole team. I have worked late into the night while feeling like I was failing. I have sat with the quiet ache of wanting to do right by my clients while trying to keep a business afloat and my own wellbeing intact.
This community exists so you never have to sit in that weight by yourself again.
And here is something important to know:
When therapists work with me one to one, those sessions are usually 250 dollars each. Inside The Therapists Haven, you receive ongoing access to me, to mentoring, to community, and to support for only 55 dollars a month. I want this work to be accessible, sustainable, and grounded in care rather than pressure.
This space is your invitation to exhale.
● Monthly Online Mentoring Meet-Ups
Live on Zoom on the third Friday of each month at 10:30am (WA time).
Gentle, honest, spacious conversations for professional mentoring. 60 minutes to connect, reflect, ask questions, and feel held in community. You do not need to have it all together. Just come as you are.
● In-Person Events Around Perth
Optional, joy filled gatherings throughout the year. Walk and Talks, board games, coffee dates, or a lighthearted round of mini golf. Members can bring a friend and receive 10% off ticketed events.
These moments matter. They remind us that connection can feel simple and warm.
● Members-Only WhatsApp Group
A quiet, kind space to for therapist peer support to ask questions, share ideas, and celebrate your small wins. I personally moderate and respond when you need support, and peer encouragement is always welcome.
● Full Access to Recordings
If you cannot attend live, you’ll have ongoing access to every mentoring meet up in a growing library of real conversations and practical guidance for allied health professional development.
You are craving genuine therapist connection in your professional life.
You have questions about clinical work, caseloads, boundaries, business, or how to simply be a therapist in a world that pulls you in many directions.
You value honesty, kindness, and growth over comparison.
You want a network of steady colleagues who understand the weight you carry.
You are tired of surface level interactions that leave you feeling more alone than when you started.
Whether you are a speech pathologist, OT, psychologist, counsellor, educator, or student therapist, you are welcome here. What matters is not how long you have been practising, but how deeply you care.
I am Di Van Der Walt.
A speech therapist, mentor, and clinic director with more than fifteen years of experience and a lifelong belief that connection is at the heart of great therapy and sustainable practice.
I created The Therapists Haven because I know what it feels like to hold the emotional labour of this work without a safe place to land. I have mentored therapists, led national PD, chaired the Private Speech Pathologists Association of WA, and been named one of Australia’s Top 50 Small Business Leaders.
But titles are not what shape the way I hold space.
What matters to me is creating environments where therapists feel seen and supported without needing to perform or prove anything.
A place where you can say, “I am struggling,” or “I am proud of this,” without being judged.
A place where your growth is held with care.
You do not have to figure this out alone.
You just need somewhere steady to land.

You begin your week feeling grounded in what matters.
You respond to clients, families, and colleagues with clarity instead of self doubt.
You ask questions freely, share ideas openly, and never feel like you need to mask or hold it together for the sake of appearing competent.
You feel proud of your work again.
And around you is a calm, consistent community of therapists who understand exactly what you hold.
This is what The Therapists Haven was built for.
Your Invitation to Join The Haven
Membership is $55 per month.
Cancel anytime. No contracts. No pressure.
Just steady guidance when you need it and a supportive community when you want it.
And something I want you to know clearly:
Your joining price is yours to keep for as long as you remain a paying member.
Even if the membership price increases in the future, your rate will never change while you stay inside the Haven. This is my way of honouring your trust and acknowledging the courage it takes to invest in yourself.
Instead of paying 250 dollars for a single one to one session, you receive ongoing access to me and a whole community of therapists who walk this path with you.
You deserve a place where you can breathe, reflect, grow, and feel held.
I would love to welcome you in.
