Scholarship Program
Applications now open for 2026
Accessible Therapy & Workshop Scholarships
Each year, I offer a small number of scholarship places to help make therapy and therapeutic workshops more accessible for people who may currently face financial barriers.
The aim of this program is to support people who would benefit from therapeutic support, reflection, and personal growth but may not otherwise be able to access these services at this time.
Two types of scholarships are available each year:
Three therapy scholarships
Ten workshop scholarships
You are welcome to apply for either option, or both.
Therapy Scholarship
Three therapy scholarships are available each year.
Each scholarship includes:
12 individual therapy sessions
Online sessions
A 75% reduced fee
My standard session fee is $140, and scholarship sessions are offered at $35 per session.
Sessions may include a combination of:
art therapy approaches
somatic (body-based) practices
talk-based therapy
These approaches can support emotional awareness, nervous system regulation, creative expression, and deeper self-understanding.
At the end of the 12-session scholarship period, we can discuss whether you would like to continue therapy at the standard rate or conclude the work if it feels complete, with no obligation to continue beyond the scholarship sessions.
Workshop Scholarships
In addition to therapy scholarships, I also offer 10 workshop scholarship places each year.
These scholarships provide free access to one online workshop.
Workshops may include themes such as:
nervous system regulation
creative reflection
emotional awareness
managing overwhelm or overthinking
reconnecting with creativity and wellbeing
These spaces are designed to be supportive, reflective, and accessible, and may also include elements of art-based and somatic practices.
Application Period
Applications for the 2026 scholarship program are currently open.
Applications close on 12 April 2026.
After the closing date, applications will be reviewed and selected applicants will be contacted.
If you are not selected for a scholarship place, you are still very welcome to reach out about therapy or workshop options.
About Julia Neubauer
I’m a registered Art and Somatic Therapist and the founder of Reconnect Space, a sanctuary for slowing down, reconnecting, and healing from the inside out.
My own journey through anxiety, grief, and trauma is what led me here. For a long time, I tried talk therapy and other healing modalities. They helped in some ways, but I still felt stuck.
Real change began when I stopped trying to fix myself alone and started healing in connection with others. Somatic and creative arts therapy allowed me to feel that shift not just in my mind, but throughout my entire being.
Now, I feel deeply honoured to hold space for others on this path. To help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom, creativity, and step into a life of alignment and purpose. My intention is to create ripples of healing that move through our community.
