Ways to work together

Individual art psychotherapy, with or without the words

One to one sessions using art materials as the main way in. We work at the pace your nervous system sets, on whatever is actually pressing, whether or not you can put words to it yet.

Often brought here:

• Anxiety and overwhelm
• Identity and self-understanding
• Emotional regulation and trauma
• Life transitions and stuck places

What art therapy actually involves

Family therapy and carer support, where no one is the problem

Family therapy and parent or carer support that honours neurodivergent minds and the whole system around a person, rather than treating one member as the problem to be solved.

• Strengthening connection
• Supporting regulation at home
• Navigating school and services
• Reducing conflict and stress

Carer burnout is real and I work with it directly. You are allowed to bring your own exhaustion to this, not only your child’s needs.

Group art therapy, and who it suits

Small groups, run with the same affirming approach as individual work. Groups suit some people far better than one to one attention does, and they suit others not at all, which is worth talking through before you commit to either.

Art therapy under the NDIS, tied to your plan goals

Art therapy can sit inside an NDIS plan as a therapeutic support, working towards goals around communication, social confidence, self-esteem, emotional regulation and general wellbeing.

How art therapy works with the NDIS

Training and consultation for clinicians

Workshops, masterclasses, clinical consultation and mentoring for practitioners who want to bring creative and nervous-system-aware methods into their own work. I also run mental health education sessions with rural schools and with family and carer services across NSW.

Workshops and clinician training

They all start the same way

Every one of these begins with a free 15-minute consult. It is a conversation, not an intake assessment. You can ask what a session looks like, whether I have worked with something like your situation before, and whether you would actually be able to stand being in a room with me. All three are reasonable things to want to know first.
