ABOUT ME

​Hello, I'm Sally.​​ 

 

As a registered Art Therapist (AThR) and clinical counsellor I work with children, families, teens and adults. For more than 12 years I have been a provider of therapeutic services and am experienced in designing art therapy services for councils, schools, not for profits and community centres. ​​

 

I am experienced with:

  • Children and adolescents, experiencing a wide range of issues related to anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, developmental delay, grief and loss, trauma, chronic illness, FAS, school issues, mutism, bullying, intellectual disability, brain injury, out of home care (foster care, kinship care, residential homes)

  • Families, strengthening attachment bonds and processing trauma, related to separation, grief, loss, parenting stress.

  • Adults, managing symptoms related to mental illness, stress and anxiety, PTSD, C-PTSD, brain injury, chronic pain, disability, complex needs and neurological conditions.

​

I am a professional member of the Australian and New Zealand and Asian Creative Arts Therapies Association (ANZACATA) and the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA).​

 

I maintain my own art practice, currently using painting as a form of meditation, around caring for my two young boys. When I'm not working I am happiest at the beach, on top of a hill or surrounded by trees. ​

"Life is full of obstacles and people are more than their diagnosis and difficulties. Everyone has their own story and experiences in life and sometimes words alone are not enough.Art making, when utilised with the intention to express, brings insight and healing and can be like medicine for our soul."
