Workshops and training
Workshops, masterclasses and consultation for clinicians who want to work more creatively and more nervous-systemically, and mental health education for schools and carer services across NSW.
Most clinicians I meet already sense that talking is not reaching every client in front of them. What they are missing is not willingness, it is a usable method and the confidence to run it without an art therapy degree behind them.
That is what this training is for. Not art appreciation, and not a set of icebreakers. Actual clinical technique, grounded in eleven years of using it with people in acute distress.
Immersive sessions in non-verbal and creative therapies, aimed at extending the clinical skill you already have rather than replacing it.
For psychologists, counsellors, social workers, occupational therapists, mental health nurses and creative therapists.
Ongoing consultation for practitioners bringing creative and neuro-affirming methods into their own caseload, including thinking through specific clients and specific stuck points.
Mental health education workshops and art therapy groups, including with rural schools across NSW, built for the actual room rather than delivered from a deck.
Sessions for services supporting families and carers, covering carer burnout, regulation, and practical creative tools that survive contact with a real household.
Everything is neurodiversity-affirming and nervous-system-first. The frameworks I teach from are the ones I work with: the neurosequential model of care, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), internal family systems, and narrative and somatic practice.
The bias throughout is towards things you can use on Monday. Theory is included because it makes the technique make sense, not because it fills a morning.
Creative work is not a soft alternative to real therapy. Used properly, it reaches things that talking alone does not.
I run sessions in person across NSW and online nationally, and I will shape the content around the team rather than delivering a fixed package. Useful things to tell me when you get in touch:
Workshop dates and current program names change through the year. The most reliable places to catch the next one are Instagram and LinkedIn, or you can email me and I will let you know what is coming up.
Whether you are one clinician after consultation or a service booking a team day, start with a message and we will work out what would actually help.
