Creativity is a language of connection, imagination and discovery.
Taking time to understand you or your child’s unique needs and focus for therapy at every stage of the process is central to my practice. Discovering your hopes, interests, strengths and preferred ways of communicating is key to building connection and trust. Together we explore goals, build skills and learn what is needed to create meaningful growth.
Sessions are tailored to honour the unique sensory, cognitive, and emotional needs of every individual, including those with neurodivergent experiences. Whether through talk, creative expression, or somatic awareness, my approach fosters self-understanding, emotional regulation, and long-term wellbeing in a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Art Therapy and a Diploma in Holistic Counselling & Psychotherapy and have over 20 years of experience in the field. I have extensive experience working with individuals and groups navigating a wide range of life experiences, including neurodivergence, trauma, anxiety, hoarding behaviours, and family violence. My work has spanned culturally diverse community settings, schools and within organisations where I have developed and delivered programs for mental health and wellbeing.

What is Art Therapy?
Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creative expression—such as painting, clay work, writing, or movement—to explore emotions, gain personal insight, and support self-acceptance. Through a collaborative and supportive process, Art Therapy helps individuals create meaningful pathways forward, aligned with their values and desired ways of living.
The strength of Art Therapy lies in its ability to access emotions and experiences that may be difficult to express through words alone. Creativity becomes a language through which meaning is discovered and healing begins.
Do I Need to Be Creative?
No artistic experience or skills are necessary. Art Therapy is about the process, not the final product. Sessions are tailored to suit individual or group needs and can support:
Emotional expression
Nervous system regulation
Existential exploration
Awareness of behaviour patterns
Skill building and personal growth
