I enjoy working across the life-course, and have a strong interest in: trauma; anxiety; children's mental health; neurodivergence; parenting; and LGBTIQA+ mental health.
I work with all ages, and with couples. My approach brings together emotion, mind, body and sensory approaches, utilising a range of strategies and interventions such as: Polyvagal theory; somatic psychotherapy; cognitive approaches and EMDR. I meet clients where they are at, regardless of situation, age, goals or struggles. I believe that each individual is the expert in their own lives and has within them the capacity for growth and healing, but I know that sometimes it can be helpful to have someone walking alongside, supporting the development of the insights and changes that lead to improved wellbeing.

This approach is suitable for children and adults with any abilities and disabilities.
As an Art therapist/Counsellor I work in relation to your needs and goals, in a safe non-judgemental space. During a session, I will check in with you to see if there is anything you would like to share or express. I will share a little about myself to help begin the therapeutic relationship. There is no need to be nervous or worry about being artistic as this is not necessary at all. I can help you work through issues with the healing power of this truly magical therapy. All you need is an open mind and a little curiosity, the sessions are totally driven by you, which means you can participate in the therapy at any stage.

I work with both children and adults, adopting a collaborative approach and offering 'more-than-verbal' methods for communication, understanding, and self-expression.
Arts Therapy can help us to explore our experiences, including thoughts and feelings that are difficult to communicate, and can include a range of creative forms (e.g. visual arts, play, movement, music, fiction). I integrate advanced somatic training to strengthen self-awareness and regulation and respond to how experience can be held within our body.

Child Counsellors
Child psychologists in Ringwood East, VIC provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Ringwood East build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
