MY SPECIALTIES

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELLING

I provide individual art therapy counselling using creative processes and art materials as a starting point for reflection. I also provide psychotherapy using a gestalt therapy approach to dialogue about life challenges and develop self-awareness.

DEPRESSION

Between 4-5% of adults in Australia experience a depressive episode. People who suffer with depression often experience negative thought patterns. Therapy can help to relieve symptoms of depression.

ADDICTION

Addiction can have a damaging impact on the individual, their family and the broader community. Therapy can support insight into the underlying issues that lead to addiction and help individuals develop supportive coping strategies.

STRESS & TRAUMA

In therapy, people are supported to titrate difficult and stressful experiences within the safe space of the therapeutic relationship. Somatic resourcing and body awareness can support individuals and improve their quality of life.

PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH

Therapy can support a person to open up and talk about their experience, challenge preconceived expectations about parenthood and develop confidence as parents.

ANXIETY

Anxiety affects 1 in 6 Australians and is now viewed as our most common mental health issue. Therapy can help individuals understand why they feel the way they do; learn about their triggers; and develop more flexibility and choice in responding.
