A practice built by and for our communities
Reravel is a queer, neurodivergent and disability-affirming allied health practice based in North Lakes, Queensland. We offer counselling, occupational therapy, relationships therapy, and peer social groups – in person and via telehealth across Australia.
We work with and for our communities, people at the intersections of disability, queerness, neurodiversity, chronic illness, and complex trauma. We work with the relationships around all of it too – our partners, families, chosen family, support team, and the connections that shape a life.
Why we started Reravel
Reravel was founded by Bri and Julie — two queer, neurodivergent allied health professionals who’ve been working alongside marginalised communities since the early 2000s in Sydney and Brisbane.
We have decades behind us working alongside people as therapists; lived experience of being othered and discriminated against across our own lives; and the perspective of being parents and carers navigating systems that weren’t built for our families either.
We’ve had a lot of great work experiences and some meaningful side quests along the way (refugee support, young parent programs, health, homelessness services, injured workers, activism and advocacy). But after a period of re-evaluation (and honestly, some burnout) we decided we wanted to work within our communities, doing work that’s close to our heart.
And so in 2021 we started Reravel to bring all of that – our values, our experience, and our passion for our communities, into one practice.
The bigger picture
We’re a relational practice. That means we pay attention to the people, relationships and systems around you — not just what’s happening inside you. Your context matters. Your relationships matter. The world you’re navigating matters.
We also know the world is hard right now, and a lot of what people bring to us isn’t an individual problem – it’s a reasonable response to anti-trans politics, NDIS changes, climate grief, economic pressure, and systems that keep failing the people they’re meant to hold. We don’t see our job as helping you adjust to that. We see it as helping you stay connected to yourself, your people, and what matters to you, while you navigate it.
We work at your pace, take your expertise about your own life seriously, and are affirming across neurotype, gender, sexuality, relationship structure, and disability. We work with individuals, couples, relationships of all shapes, families, and groups. We accept NDIS, Medicare (Better Access), and private clients.
Connected to community
Therapy isn’t the whole answer, and we don’t pretend it is. One of the things we care most about is helping people build and find real connection, because we know how valuable shared experiences with people who understand us and care about are.
We stay connected to the communities we work with. We know the services, peer networks, community groups, events and advocates worth knowing about, and we link people in wherever we can. Our peer social groups — like Wands & Warriors, a D&D-based group for neurodivergent and queer teens — are part of that work. We want people to leave our practice not just with better coping strategies, but with more community, more connection, and more people in their corner.
