The Balance Collective is a professional wellbeing service supporting schools across Queensland and beyond.

 

It was founded by Katherine McGregor — an educator, behaviour coach, social worker, and wellbeing facilitator with a deep commitment to supporting the wellbeing of those who support others.

​

With a Master in Social Work, Master in Education: Guidance and Counselling, a Certificate in Education: Careers Development and Counselling and a Certificate in Education: Trauma-Aware Education, Katherine's work draws on evidence-based practices and real-world experience.

 

Working across classrooms, leadership teams, and system-wide wellbeing initiatives, gave Katherine a broad view of the challenges — and the incredible strengths — within our schools.

​

Over the years, she's trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Polyvagal Theory, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

 

These approaches shape the heart of The Balance Collective: practical, powerful tools that help educators reconnect with themselves, regulate their nervous systems, and return to what matters most.

​

The Balance Collective was born from both professional experience and personal conviction.

 

I’ve seen firsthand how teacher burnout affects not just individuals but entire communities — and I know that with the right support, change is possible.
