Hello. If you’re searching for a new and effective way of coping with stress, burnout, anxiety or complex trauma recovery, third-wave psychology might be the secret ingredient you’re looking for (mindfulness combined with traditional talk therapy). Maybe you’re suffering the horrible confusion and pain of narcissistic abuse or bullying. I can help. I have lived experience and in-depth understanding of what you’re going through. I’ve published a book, a podcast, blog and recently a short article in Australian Counselling Journal.

I assist clients who may be feeling a range of confusing and overwhelming thoughts and emotions in their life and, want to regain some sense of peace and hope for the future. You may be feeling stress, anxiety, sadness, depression, grief, anger and all the emotions that accompany a time when there is a loss of some kind. It may be the death of a loved one, but it can also be the loss of a relationship, friendship, independence, home, job, dreams and hopes or moving from one life stage to another.

If someone feels they cannot be themselves things might become tricky. Things hinder moving forward, more unhelpful patterns continue and daily life may become hard. How can creative therapy assist people in getting to know themself and how to grow into potential and feel better? Imagine if it was ok to be them/you and feel ok! What if they/you started to love themselves/yourself? Going about daily life at least feeling slightly ok in the world. Because life can sometimes be better! Be you, be me, self-acceptance is the key.

I have been practicing for 20 years in mental health. I find that people come to counselling when they are overwhelmed with the situation they find themselves in and need that perspective to be able to step back and look at what is happening in their lives which has brought them to this point. Clients want to be listened to and really heard. Clients need time to do their own processing of what comes out of their narrative. I practice from a social model of health perspective, where the in client, although an individual, is part of a social system that must be considered in their journey to good mental health.

Play, create, move and more, to inquire into your inner worlds, develop a deeper sense of self, and build stronger connections to self, others, and the world around. Trauma limits our capacity to see ourselves as we truly are. Playful and creative therapies can strengthen our sense of self, and support healing for both children who have experienced trauma, and adults who have experienced childhood trauma.
