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.
Post-traumatic stress disorder and trauma are a result of various life events that can have frightening and unsettling effects. Some of these include car accidents, domestic violence, sexual and emotional abuse. These can affect the brain's ability to recall the events.
The goal of trauma therapy is to help people rewrite their stories and regain a sense of stability and safety.
