As a strengths-based, positive Clinical Psychologist with 25+yrs experience I offer individual therapy for adults (18yrs +) in Canberra and am currently accepting new referrals. I am a Medicare, NDIS & AHPRA registered provider offering evidence-based psychological treatment and professional counselling services for a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma and life adjustment issues. I am also an Art Therapist. This optional mode of therapy can work alongside traditional talking therapy to access inner resources and awareness. You don't need to be creative or have experience with art to engage in art therapy.
I assist people to learn and use psychological coping skills that bring peace of mind. As we become more self-aware, we become more psychologically resilient and have increased positive perspectives. In art therapy there are no mistakes only discoveries and increased neural connectivity in areas of the brain that deal with introspection, memory and self-care
Clients seeking a relaxed, solution-focused, non-judgemental and psychologically safe space to engage in therapy are welcome to arrange an appointment. You will be listened to, heard and supported to engage in treatment that is person-centred and upholds AHPRA professional practice standards.
