Counselling for trauma and Complex PTSD, including EMDR, animal assisted therapy and Perinatal counselling. Perinatal Interest areas include birth trauma, grief and loss and infertility.
Bluest Skies has 2 branches of the service
Bluest Skies counselling and animal assisted therapy - a trauma and general counselling service
Bluest Skies Perinatal Support - counselling for new parents and parents to be.
Services are offered from Springfield Lakes or Paddington. Please get in touch to find out the availability for each site.
My sessions are client centred, trauma informed and attachment based. I draw on neuroscience and understanding the way the nervous system responds along with how the attachment experiences you have had may be playing out now. EMDR and Internal Family systems also form a strong part of my practice framework.
Services are currently offered from Springfield Lakes and Paddington with the availability of Pirate the Therapy Dog to support the process if desired (he is usually there anyway)
