I use cognitive and behavioural, and attachment-based interventions, delivered with care and compassion to help individuals and families.
Life rarely follows a straight line. It can be overwhelming, messy and empty. Sometimes we just feel stuck, not knowing what to do. The ways we try to cope - like cutting off from things or people we value - often make us feel more sad or worried. I work with young people, adults and families to develop new perspectives, learn strategies to cope and build meaningful lives.

We all hit bumps in the road of life.
It could be you’ve had something big happen, like the end of a relationship, the loss of someone you loved, or being let go from a job.
It might be you don’t feel happy, even tho’ your life appears pretty good from the outside. Maybe you feel disconnected or overwhelmed emotionally, or you feel tired and stuck and lack the motivation to go after the life you want.
You may realise that you keep sabotaging yourself or choosing unsuitable or unavailable partners but you can’t work out why. Maybe you want to get to know yourself better and feel comfortable about who your are. Therapy can help.

I work with adults who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, often living with anxiety, low mood, past trauma, or relationship struggles that don’t seem to shift. You might look like you’re coping, but inside feel exhausted or self-critical. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to hold it together. I integrate talk-based and body-aware (somatic) practices to help you understand your emotions, relate to yourself with compassion, and create meaningful, lasting change. So you can feel more at home in yourself, even in the midst of life’s challenges.

My ideal clients are individuals and couples ready to explore what's keeping them stuck — in old patterns, relationship struggles, or simply a life that no longer feels their own. Many carry early attachment wounds that quietly shape their present. I work relationally, creating a space where clients feel genuinely safe and heard. Together we explore what drives their patterns, rebuild trust in themselves and others, and find a way forward with greater clarity and freedom.

You know what it’s like to feel “almost there” in life—growing personally, nurturing relationships, and learning healing tools—yet the same stuck patterns resurface. Maybe it’s in your partnership, self-confidence, or even how you respond under stress. You’re longing for depth, clarity, and a way forward—not just temporary fixes.
That’s where trauma-informed therapeutic coaching helps. I work with emotionally curious individuals and couples who seek lasting change, without jargon or overwhelm. Together, we’ll compassionately navigate old patterns, rebuild connection, and chart a path to emotional resilience & relational fulfilment.

Hi, I’m Charmain, a registered art therapist working with communities in the Northern Rivers. I specialise in trauma recovery using a holistic, human-centred approach.
Art therapy gently explores emotions that may be difficult to express in words. Trauma can shape self-perception, relationships, and daily life. While some coping mechanisms protect us, some may not always support long-term well-being.
My trauma-informed approach prioritises safety, pacing, and meaningful goals towards recovery.
No artistic skills or talent is needed.
