Greg from Goodsky is the most extraordinary resource. I came across the program 5 years ago when a family member was in a very dark place. Greg gave us so much time helping them understand the process. He met with us in person and did multiple phone consults. We didn't end going ahead with the program but I really value Greg's expertise and think the concept of Goodsky is brilliant.

My sister found Goodsky because I was in a very dark place in my life. Goodsky is such a beyond amazing program that really helped me get my life back and feel the happiest that I could possibly be, it truly helped me heal in every way possible and got to the very route of what was going on in my life. The whole team at Goodsky are truly all fantastic in each and every way, they really love their job and treated me with so much kindness and patients as I was in such a fragile state. I’d like to thank each and every person that has worked with me and I’ll never forget any one of you guys especially Greg and Anita with all there support and guidance and also helping create such a beneficial program for me. So I definitely support Goodsky for helping me grow and have a new and better mindset. Again, Thankyou I am extremely grateful.

An excellent tailored program that was very specific in dealing with my anxiety and super active nervous system. I gained a very clear understanding of how I had reached this point with the help and assistance of the very talented and professional psychotherapists.
With cutting edge therapy techniques and practices I have been able to start myself back on the path I have longed for many years.
Through the Goodsky program I can say I have never been so calm and present and now living life again to the fullest.

Greg, Pete and the rest of the Goodsky team are absolutely incredible! They took me on and gave my family hope after I had been severely ill for over a year and after I had been rejected from multiple health care facilities in my home state. We faced many challenges however the Goodsky team have been there every step of the way, day and night. My family and I have learnt a great deal and I have improved immensely with their guidance and expertise. The care and determination this team have is remarkable. They work tirelessly for their patients and have improved, balanced, restored and saved many lives. Thank you endlessly, much love Izzy

Goodsky was a great service and support in a time of need. Very holistic approach and client centred. We liked that the programs and intervention were built around the needs of the client and their circumstances rather than using the one box approach for each individual. It was great that family who wanted to be involved were also supported as part of the process.

I am almost at the completion of this program. I cannot speak highly enough of the effectiveness this program has had on my life, physically, mentally and spiritually. The dedicated Goodsky team have taken me through a thorough process that has enabled me to deal with all aspects impacting on my life, some I had no idea of. Goodsky are one of the few who work across all facets of health and the practitioners with whom they work understand and appreciate the interconnectedness and harmonious approaches required to reach a better mental and physical health outcome. To be successful you need to trust and dedicate yourself to this program to gain the most out of this program. This program has turned my life around for the better. It works!

After two years of talk therapy, distress tolerance training (DBT), CBT and reading every self help/C-PSTD book I could get my hands on I still couldn’t hold down a job. I needed results but I was fearful of being taken for a ride, loosing money and not regaining my earning potential.

I contacted Goodsky late last year when I was at the end of my rope. I had extremely severe C-PTSD, anxiety, depression and was suffering hyper vigilance, poor sleep and my self care was theoretical.

Greg hooked me up with free resources and online tests. He claimed he could make a program to put my C-PTSD into full remission but it sounded too good to be true and I was suspicious. I got a program made up and sent a copy to my GP and both psychologists who vouched for its benefits, but none could speak to the claims of “Full Remission”.

I did my residential in Feb 2023 and am now in full remission! I’m off medication and am back in the workforce! The difference is night and day. I originally didn’t think it was possible to have such a dramatic turn around but I am so grateful to have my life back. I was so hurt and raw, but the team at Goodsky made my treatment as painless as possible.

If you’re considering a program with Goodsky, I’m sorry for what you are going through. Silver lining? These guys can help. I will say be prepared to do the work. I went in with the attitude of “I’ll do anything to not feel like this anymore”. The team supports you but they can’t do the work for you. Thanks guys and keep up the good work.

My 18 year old daughter entered the Goodsky programme in November 2022. She has a long history of mental health issues related to trauma and is on the autism spectrum. Traditional talk therapies and skills training such as CBT did not work for her so we sought a different approach. Goodsky understand that traditional therapies rarely work for trauma and use a ‘bottom up’ approach to treat, utilising a variety of different, modern, evidence based modalities. The staff and therapists were amazing - knowledgeable, caring and understanding. My daughter received a completely individualised treatment plan. She gained new skills and processed a lot of her trauma through non talk therapies in the residential stage of the programme and has worked hard to integrate all
elements in the out patient stage of the programme. Her mental health has improved drastically, she attends Uni full time and works in retail and has been able to successfully rebuild her life. She is still building on skills to keep herself healthy, but we feel safe knowing we have the Team at Goodsky to reach out to if needed. Highly recommend.
