Counselling

Dip. Couns, Dip. CWD, Cert IV TAE

My strength-based counselling sessions provide people with a supportive, safe environment where they can:

• reduce the negative impacts of stress and anxiety
• improve relationships and increase connection to others
• work through grief and loss 
• strengthen resilience and safety
• explore creativity, reduce self-limiting beliefs
• resolve problems
• develop insight and gain confidence

I bring a creative, hopeful, trauma informed perspective that acknowledges the challenges of living with big feelings, and draws on an extensive range of evidence based approaches to help people live their best (inner and outer) life:

• Evidence Based Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT / Tapping)
• Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
• Mindfulness including creative therapies 
• Family systems theory
• Domestic violence awareness - DV-alert trained
• Suicide intervention (ASIST trained)

 I also have experience and/or training in:

• Group facilitation, workshops, training
• Disaster recovery/resilience
• Hoarding behaviour
• Gambling problems
• Community welfare and development
• Creative arts (I am a practising artist)
• I am a qualified, experienced and registered ACA counsellor who meets NDIS requirements for 0128 Therapeutic Supports (Counselling). To explore additional NDIS-related arts/counselling/workshop services please reach out to me.
