Online or In-person therapy located in Midland and East Fremantle I feel privileged to be in the role of walking alongside children, teens, adults, couples and families who are surviving the impact of trauma. I provide Art Therapy and Counselling in a safe space to explore your experience of anxiety and depression caused by an acute, chronic or complex trauma, grief and loss. We work together to explore and develop your own solutions so you heal and thrive. Explore the difference that Psychotherapy and Creative Expressive Therapies can offer by contacting me today. Mental Health Care Plan or Drs referral is not required.
You are the expert of your world but sometimes it is hard to describe your experiences with words. Art Therapy is a way to explore your experience of yourself and your world through creative expression. Using a strength based, person centred approach you will be supported to explore your experience of yourself and develop new ways of being in this world.
If your young person finds it difficult to talk in therapy or you have talked about your experience of trauma and seen little impact on the resulting anxiety, perhaps it is time to try a different approach. One that feels warm, engaging and creative. I am here to walk alongside you to explore how to be with yourself and in the world with confidence.
