A therapeutic tree house to climb into for nourishment, reassurance and holding as you explore your Inner World through psychotherapy and self-reflection.
In your safe place, explore meditations, contemplations, reflective exercises, processing and integration exercises.
Designed by psychotherapist and founder Gabriella de Mori as a companion for her client journeys.
Your soft place to land.
There are moments in life when we don't necessarily need more insight, we simply need reminding.
A grounding practice for an anxious evening.
A compassionate response to an inner critic that's become particularly loud.
A meditation to help us sleep.
A gentle reminder of something we explored in therapy.
The Therapeutic Tree House is a carefully curated collection of the practices, reflections, meditations and resources I've found myself returning to again and again throughout ten years of clinical practice.
Some are grounded in evidence-based therapeutic approaches, while others have been shaped by years of sitting alongside clients and discovering what genuinely helps when life feels difficult.
I haven't tried to include everything.
I've included the practices I most hope people remember.
Whether you're working with me in therapy, preparing to begin, returning after our work together, or simply looking for thoughtful, compassionate resources, my hope is that this becomes a place you can return to whenever you need a little steadiness, perspective or support.
Enjoy my Welcome Message...
Therapeutic Practices for comfort and reassurance
The curated practices are what I return to in my own life, that have shaped my therapeutic approach and that I've shared with hundreds of clients over the past decade in private sessions. Now, they're curated into one experience accessible 24/7.
Your therapeutic growth doesn't only happen in your sessions. These Practices support and guide you to stay connected to your Inner World and grow every day, or soothe you in the middle of the night or the weird days.
Come home to your tree house to awaken, nourish and soothe whatever part needs holding or healing today.
Here, you climb into the expertise of Gabriella's world, her assuring voice, signature guidance and her trusted curations.
Having a therapist's voice with you on the difficult days, to gently remind you how to find your way back to yourself, will infuse your own practice with my treasured philosophies, delivered with simplicity and clarity.
Over time, you'll begin to make sense of yourself in the way I would guide you to in session, until that voice gradually becomes your own and your trust in yourself strengthens confidently.
You're not alone in here, we're in this together, and I've walked this path too, ahead of you to clear the way. ~ Gabriella

The collection curates the most valuable practices I use with myself and my clients. Let's get straight to the heart of the compassion, self-soothing and insightful guidance you crave and that I know work effortlessly from years of experience.
Guided therapy infused practices backed by EMDR and Internal Family Systems theory for understanding your inner world, feeling safer and self-supported.
Intimate audio journeys to build a resilient relationship with yourself - confidently creating space from upsetting thoughts and emotions to zoom up and out into calmness.
Guided reflective practices and somatic tools and techniques that help identify, articulate and soothe your Inner Experiences masterfully and succinctly back to presence and confidence.
A therapy session can offer insight, perspective and new possibilities. It's in the rituals you create to navigate everyday life that those insights are gently integrated into a different way of being with yourself.
The Therapeutic Tree House is here to support those moments, helping you build trust in your ability to care for yourself long after the moment of insight has passed.
Over time, these practices become more than something you do, they become a way of relating to yourself. As your confidence grows, so too does your trust in your ability to care for yourself through life's inevitable ups and downs.
You start to proudly notice that you:
Know how to settle your mind and body when life feels overwhelming, so overwhelm no longer has to dictate the rest of your day.
Find words of compassion that genuinely sound like your own voice, allowing your inner dialogue to become a source of encouragement rather than criticism.
Interrupt the cycle of self-criticism before it spirals, so one difficult moment doesn't become a difficult day, week or season.
Move through difficult emotions without feeling consumed by them, developing the confidence to stay alongside yourself rather than feeling swept away by what you feel.
Return to a place of steadiness after life's inevitable setbacks, trusting that difficult moments don't define you or determine what comes next.
Support yourself with the same warmth, wisdom and care you so naturally offer others, allowing that compassion to become something you experience yourself.
Face life's challenges with greater confidence, knowing you have meaningful ways to care for yourself whenever you need them.
I don't roll like that. There are no boring lectures, no homework, no PDFs you'll never read.
Everything I do is evidence-based and clinically informed; however, I deliver it in an experiential, creative, relatable and sensory way that you actually look forward to listening to.
The Tree House is distinctly the distillation of my voice, expertise, philosophy and view of healing.
Never dull, basic or regurgitated from someone or somewhere else, my work is distinctly created to be:
🌿 Companionship, not instructions. Here you enter my signature emotional and sensory way of delivering self-trust, connection and building a deeper relationship with yourself, alongside my own voice, explorations and companionship where I feel right here with you, anytime.
🌿 A place for surrender, not performance: You're a smart, wise, reflective and insightful woman, and this isn't a place to fix, change, mask, squeeze or optimise you.
🌿 Grounding, intentional and integrated, not overwhelming. Everything is quality, with layers of depth, delivered in understated simplicity. I get the job done- and don't teach you the 'how' I do it, but simply deliver you to the endpoint you need.
🌿 One consistent therapeutic philosophy, not hundreds of disconnected tips from social media that send you into a tailspin of frantic energy in 100 different directions. You'll be sitting in the essence of my own personal and professional library to soak up and draw from.
🌿 Embodying, not over-analysing. Park the over-intellectualising and 'I jsut want to learn all the detail's Parts at the base of the Tree House.
🌿 Aesthetically pleasing, in an auditory way. Beautiful and curated music, meditations, guides, visuals, rituals of what I live and teach by - not just PDFs anyone could have created (or regurgitated form text books)
🌿 Creative and ADHD friendly: Non-linear, windy, warm, wise, meandering, psychologically sophisticated, quietly creative, human, humorous, and deeply relatable.
🌿 Original. I take great pride in original creations, expressing my own authentic and creative perspective, and never making anything anyone else could. This is the best of therapist Gabriella, through and through.
Master of Counselling | Registered Clinical Psychotherapist
Gabriella de Mori is a registered clinical psychotherapist with a Master's Degree in Counselling and advanced training in compassion-focused meditation, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR and experiential therapies. Through more than a decade of clinical practice, she has developed a reputation for translating complex psychological concepts into practical, compassionate and deeply human experiences.
Rather than overwhelming clients with cognitive information, Gabriella's work focuses on helping them cultivate a steadier, kinder relationship with themselves. The Therapeutic Tree House is an extension of that philosophy- a carefully curated collection of the practices she most often returns to with clients, designed to offer support before, between and beyond therapy sessions.
You'll know what to do, how to hold yourself, get curious about your experience, and steward yourself through life with humility, self-assuredness and greater courage to live outside your comfort zone
Mornings can be beautiful, messy, rushed, anxious or full of possibility. What if your morning became one of the most nourishing parts of your day? This collection brings together guided meditations, Morning Pages, reflective prompts and practical rituals to help you lead your morning, rather than letting your morning lead you. My hope is that you'll reconnect with yourself before the world begins asking everything from you.
Our evenings can be just as important as our mornings, shaping how we unwind, reconnect with ourselves and prepare for a restful night ahead. What if the end of your day became a gentle ritual of arriving home, slowing down and letting go, rather than simply pushing through until bedtime?
This collection brings together guided meditations, reflective practices and therapeutic resources to help you transition out of the busyness of the day, organise your thoughts, settle your nervous system and create space for rest. My hope is that your evenings become less something to get through, and more a time to soften, reconnect and return to yourself.
Sometimes words are too much, and music reaches places they can't. These are the sounds, artists and albums that have accompanied me through moments of rest, reflection, creativity and healing, and I'm delighted to share them with you. Whether you need to focus, unwind, process or simply feel a little more like yourself again, music can be a powerful companion. Consider this a small collection of sounds and artists that have brought me comfort, perspective and joy over the years. Lay on the floor, pretend it's 1999 when I listened to albums in full and soaked up every word, mindfully and peacefully.

The Therapeutic Tree House is an educational resource designed to complement, not replace, therapy or personalised mental health care.
Current clients may find these resources helpful in supporting and extending their therapeutic work beyond the therapy room.
Those accessing the Tree House independently are warmly welcome.
Please note that using these resources does not establish a therapeutic relationship with Gabriella de Mori and is not a replacement for therapy.
If you're looking for individual therapeutic support, you're warmly invited to learn more about working with Gabriella or one of the therapists at Gabriella de Mori & Co Counselling here.
Absolutely- it may be exactly what you need right now. Whether you're waiting to begin therapy, taking a break, have completed therapy or simply want thoughtful resources to support your wellbeing, the Tree House is designed to meet you where you are.
Yes. Many members use the Tree House alongside therapy as a way of reinforcing ideas between sessions and continuing their reflections throughout the week. Every therapist has a different approach, philosophy or ways of working and so this combination may bring you additional perspectives and tools.
There are no rules. Some people spend ten minutes with a meditation or journal prompt. Others enjoy exploring a longer guide on a quiet Sunday afternoon as a home retreat. The Tree House is there when you need it, and there is no expectation to complete any or all practices. Take what you need, refine your favourite practices, and use it how it suits you.
Not at all. This isn't a prescriptive course or 'homework '. You're welcome to wander. While new sections are released gradually over twelve weeks, once they're available you can return to any resource as often as you like. Climb up when you can.
The Tree House will continue to grow over time with new guides, meditations, reflections and seasonal resources and is designed to unfold over many weeks, rather than overwhelm you with everything at once. This will give you focus, and intentional time to embody the lessons and resources, while looking forward to the next curation.
The Tree House isn't designed to be another library to race through. Think of it less like binge-watching a series or 'achieving self-care' and more like taking a gentle walk through the forest—one treehouse at a time, being present, smelling the flowers, admiring the trees, and really soaking it in.
Yes. I'm neurodivergent myself, so I trust you will find a creative and engaging approach in my work. Resources are designed with flexibility in mind; however, there are no specific neurodivergent resources. I only develop and use practices that my neurodivergent brain enjoys and engages with. There is no "right" way to move through the Tree House, there are no assessments or observations of your progress, and you don't have to be linear. You're encouraged to engage with whatever feels helpful and leave the rest. It's primarily audio-based, so you won't have long passages to read.
You don't need hours each week. Some days you might listen to a five-minute meditation. Other times you may spend an afternoon exploring a guide or journal. The Tree House is designed to meet you where you are, and there may be periods of absence and then you return when you can. I've included resources from 5-30 minutes long for variety. You can listen to the riff audios ( not the meditations) while driving or while doing chores.
Yes, this is a membership style where there are no lock-in contracts. If you are on the monthly subscription, you can cancel at any time, and your access will close at the end of the month. If you've paid in full at the outset, you can cancel at any time to close your account; however, no refunds will be processed.
Yes. Every new member receives a 3-day free trial, giving you the opportunity to explore the Welcome resources, experience the Tree House and decide whether it feels like the right fit before your subscription begins.
No. The Tree House isn't designed to replace therapy or ask you to become your own therapist. Most resources aren't about deep self-analysis or trying to untangle complex experiences on your own.
The intention is much simpler: to arrive, press play, and exhale. I've taken the complexity out of it, so that each resource is designed to gently help you come back to yourself, effortlessly.
Gabriella does not provide therapy or direct 1:1 support in The Tree House.
There is an abundance of wonderful free wellbeing content available, along with endless therapeutic information, podcasts, books and social media accounts to explore.
The question isn't whether free resources exist. It's whether they feel like the right fit for you, and whether you feel genuinely accompanied by them.
Every therapist brings their own philosophy, values and way of understanding the human experience. The relationship you build with their work matters. Just as the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of change in counselling, I believe feeling aligned with the person guiding you is equally important here.
The Tree House isn't a collection of disconnected ideas gathered from the internet. There is a consistent philosophy woven throughout every guide, meditation, journal and reflection. Rather than being offered hundreds of different perspectives, hacks and quick fixes, you'll find one thoughtful voice, one therapeutic philosophy and one gentle way of approaching the human experience.
That is also because 95% of what is in the Tree House is original resources developed by myself- Unique meditations, custom guides, my own reflections, processes and riffs on the therapeutic concepts. The other 5% is links or credits to originators or core modalities of resources to the authors who say it better than me.
As a psychotherapist with over ten years of experience, I've shared the ideas, practices and reflections that I've seen make a meaningful difference, both in my own life and in the lives of the women I've had the privilege of walking alongside.
The Tree House isn't built around promises to fix, heal or transform you. It's a place to pause. To become curious. To feel accompanied. To gently integrate the inevitable ups and downs of being human.
If my way of thinking, writing and seeing the world resonates with you, then I hope this can become a place you return to often. If it doesn't feel aligned, I trust you'll find the guide who feels like the right fit for your journey.
Only you can answer if it's right for you from the taster experiences and my words and descriptions.
If you've read through this page and found yourself thinking, "This feels like the way I want to be spoken to," then I suspect you'll feel at home here.
The Therapeutic Tree House isn't trying to be everything for everyone. It has a particular philosophy, pace and way of understanding the human experience. It's not clinical, it's not hours of psych-education, there are no PowerPoints, and it's not 'lessons.' They are my original creations, guides, words, guidance, meditations and perspectives.
Some people will love that, and others will naturally feel more drawn to a different approach.
That's exactly as it should be.
