As a qualified, registered Arts Therapist, Counsellor, and Clinical Supervisor, I truly believe that effective supervision supports clinicians to be their best, for their clients and for themselves,

Offering supervision which is particularly valuable for those in their own practice and for those within an organisation.

I do have extensive small business, coordination and project management experience, having honed my people skills working with the publis and as a TAFE teacher. I find I am easily able to meet people where they are at.
​
I draw on my own lived experiences and training as a person centred and holistic Arts Therapist and Counsellor, particularly in:

• MIECAT's experiential Form of Inquiry
• Therapeutic Arts in Counselling
• ​Trauma Informed, Heuristic Exploration
• Healing Trauma with Guided Drawing® 
• Mindfulness Practice
• Motivational Interviewing
• Narrative Therapy

     and

• Workplace Training & Assessment
• Small Business Management 

 
I have a broad base of industry knowledge having held membership with ANZATA, ACATA and ANZACATA. Currently holding:

• PACFA Clinical Registrant No. 28061
• Member of the PACFA College of Creative and Experiential Arts
  (Volunteer Leadership Group member & PD Coordinator)
• Membership of the PACFA College of Supervision 
• Level 4 ACA membership (No. 3087)

• Registration on the Australian Register of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (ARCAP)
• ​Membership with The International Association for Creative Arts in Education and Therapy (IACAET)

Research into the expanding benifits of therapy informs my on-going inquiry.

I am proud to be serving the professional therapeutic community,
