About Ataraxy Art

Transpersonal Art Therapy (Ad.Dip.Transpersonal Art Therapy, 2016) and obtaining the Dip.Counselling (graduating 2027), current membership with the Australian Counselling Association. I can provide both Australian Police clearance and Working With Children card if requested.  

My extensive background includes dedicated work in the mental health sector and the disability field, alongside the deeply formative experience of being a foster carer. This diverse professional and personal journey has equipped me with profound empathy, practical resilience, and a nuanced understanding of navigating complex life circumstances..

My approach to therapy is holistic and fundamentally collaborative. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you as a supportive guide. Together, we will embark on a journey to understand your unique needs and aspirations. I am deeply committed to working closely with you, openly sharing my insights and listening attentively to yours. This partnership ensures that the solutions we discover are not only effective but are also perfectly tailored to your specific situation and goals. Throughout our work together, you can expect unwavering transparency and clear communication. I am here to answer your questions, address any concerns, and respond promptly, creating a safe and nurturing space where you feel truly heard and supported.

I specialise in helping clients find their authentic voice and make meaning of past and current traumas and stress management. I assist you to find strengths used in the past for those going through major life transitions such as divorce or retirement. You will learn or deepen your relaxation techniques and determine what is blocking you from happiness. 

Lived experience has given me insight in the areas of loss, separation,  chronic illness, abuse, hopelessness and despair. I understand the complexities surrounding life changing events and the long term effects that can follow.

All experiences bring you to where you are now - the good, bad and ugly. You are unique and you are able to find comfort through becoming self aware of your authentic needs and working towards self actualisation.
