We can all be challenged from time to time regulating our emotional state. It can be a struggle to articulate whats going on for us and thats where it help's to talk and explore whats going on. Sometimes however, it is difficult to open up to family and friends, particularly when you are experiencing anxiety, depression, personal or work related stress or family/relationship concerns. As a Clinical and International Psychotherapist, I offer relief by providing emotional support, psycho-education and the ability to truly hear and challenge what is going on for you via flexible appointments, both in Person, Telehealth or Telephone.

I specialise in supporting autistic children, teens, adults, and their families.
You don't need to be good at drawing to engage in art or expressive therapies. In art therapy the focus is on the process of creating and healing, not on the piece being created. Using creativity in counselling, allows people to connect with their innate intuition and find solutions unique to themselves. It also reduces the need for verbal expression.
