About Me

I am an Australian Art Therapist awaiting my art therapy registration with the HPCSA in South Africa. I'm a specialised wellness counsellor who believes that healing doesn’t always start with words. For many people, talking about what hurts feels overwhelming — but art offers another way forward. I’m here to help you express what feels stuck, honour what you’ve been through, and reconnect with hope. If you would like to embark on our journey together, please get in touch with me. My therapeutic approach: My practice is eclectic, integrative and person-centred, tailored to each individual’s needs. I draw from a range of evidence-informed models to support emotional expression, insight, and behavioural change. Specialist Wellness Counselling Holistic, wellness-focused and systems-based support incorporating creativity, coping skills, and whole-person wellbeing. Art Therapy A trauma-informed approach grounded in psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural and humanistic principles — offering a non-verbal and creative pathway to processing emotions, experiences, and personal meaning. Regular, consistent therapy helps build a sense of continuity, offering time to reflect on what emerges in sessions and put new strategies into practice between them. My philosophy: I believe every person is inherently valuable, capable of change, and deserving of understanding. Therapy should be a collaborative and affirming process — you are the expert in your own lived experience. My role is to provide: - Genuine acceptance and compassion - A safe space to explore difficult feelings - Tools and insights tailored to your unique needs - Encouragement to grow at your own pace Life can be complex, and healing is not always linear — but with support, new possibilities become attainable. If at any point I am not the right fit, I will gladly assist you in connecting with someone who better aligns with your needs. You deserve the care and respect that honours your journey and the support and empathy you always needed. Certifications, degrees and courses: I hold a Master of Mental Health (Specialising in Art Therapy) from the University of Queensland, alongside multiple psychology-based and art facilitation qualifications. These include: - Bachelor of Arts Honours in Psychology and a BA majoring in Psychology & Sociology - Certificate in Art Counselling - Certificate in Community Art Facilitation - Diploma in Human Resources - Diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language Additional continuing professional development in art therapy, psychology, wellbeing, meditation, mindfulness, and allied health training.
