Our story

About Farmer & Co.

A therapeutic collective built on something a little unusual — we're cousins.

Hero photo — place yours here

Farmer & Co. is a therapeutic collective built on something a little unusual — we're cousins. Georgia, Elise, and Em grew up together, and somewhere between shared childhoods and separate careers, working together just made sense.

We come from a family that has always built things worth showing up to. From our grandmother, who filled our childhoods with creativity and imaginative play, to our grandfather, who gave his time to causes like Riding for the Disabled, to generations of family businesses before us. Farmer & Co. is our chapter of that story.

"Different training, different paths — the same core beliefs."
What we share

Unified in values,
distinct in focus

What surprised us was how naturally our values aligned. Different training, different paths, but the same core beliefs: that healing is relational, that creativity matters, and that people deserve care that honours the whole of who they are. We think that probably comes down to where we came from.

Together we bring psychotherapy, occupational therapy, and support work into one collective. Distinct in our focus, unified in our values.

"Healing is relational, creativity matters, and people deserve care that honours the whole of who they are."

Georgia, Elise & Em — Farmer & Co.

Our Values

01
Healing is relational

The relationship between a person and their practitioner is not incidental to the work — it is the work. We invest in connection, trust, and genuine care as the foundation of everything we do.

02
Creativity matters

We believe in the power of creative expression as a pathway to understanding. Across all our services, we bring imagination, play, and curiosity into how we support people.

03
Whole-person care

People are more than their diagnosis or their presenting concern. We hold the whole of who someone is — their story, their strengths, their context — in everything we offer.

Psychotherapist & Educator

Georgia

A warm, thoughtful psychotherapist with a background spanning education, special education, and mental health.

Georgia is a warm, thoughtful psychotherapist with a background spanning education, special education, and mental health.

She works with children, teenagers, and adults, drawing on narrative therapy, expressive arts, IFS-informed work, somatic approaches, and ACT — always adapting her style to suit the person in front of her. She also has experience providing psychotherapy to people with complex and profound disabilities, ensuring sessions remain accessible and meaningful.

Alongside psychotherapy, Georgia offers learning intervention and parent support, helping families understand their child's strengths, needs, and pathways to confidence.

Outside of work she can usually be found near the water, cooking something, or spending time with the people she loves.
