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 employed within an organisation.

I have extensive small business, community engagement and project management experience, having honed my people skills working with the public 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, holistic Arts Therapist / Counsellor,
particularly in these areas:

• 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 bring to supervision 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 
•  ACA Level 4 member No. 3087
• Membership in the ACA College of Supervisors
• Registration on the Australian Register of Counsellors & Psychotherapists (ARCAP)
• ​Membership with The International Association for Creative Arts in Education and Therapy (IACAET)
• Advanced Certificate of Attainment in Individual & Group Professional Supervision.  ​

 My ongoing research and interest in serving clients is informed by the ever-growing understanding of the benefits therapy can provide.

This practice celebrates the richness of Neurodiversity and is ​LGBTQ+ inclusive.

I am proud to be serving the professional therapeutic community,
