Illume Psychology is a boutique psychology practice that offers a nurturing space to meaningfully and collaboratively work through your inner troubles. Trauma and PTSD can be complex and contribute to a range of distressing emotions that necessitates the thoughtful and skilled attention of a dedicated therapist to provide support, help make sense of past experiences and bring to awareness problematic patterns of thought and behaviour to empower you to create sustained change in your life.
Understanding trauma and trauma diagnoses such as PTSD is crucial for any successful therapy. Our therapists have many years experience in working with trauma and its consequences, whether that be a one-off traumatic incident or cumulative traumas that may result in a diagnosis of Complex PTSD. Therapy may include a range of approaches that are well-researched and found to be effective in practice, related to safe graduated exposure therapies or creative therapies that incorporate adjunct therapy such as art therapy or visualisation around recovery.
Hello and welcome! I am a registered Arts Therapist and counselor based in Sydney. I provide art therapy and counselling to those experiencing trauma, PTSD or C-PTSD. Through my practice, I make an intentional commitment to support individuals in their health and wellbeing journey. My mission is to enrich and empower the lives of others through creativity and connection. My passion for expressive creative arts has inspired me to further explore how art can be used as a tool for healing, and the ways it can be used in mental health recovery as a psychotherapeutic modality.
