Creative arts counselling - integrating and restoring balance

As the demands of life increase, so too does our own stress levels. Even the pace of life seems to speed up as the years roll by and often times we find ourselves overwhelmed and unable to provide ourselves with the space to address our own needs. Creative Arts counselling can help you by providing you with the necessary skills to address life circumstances and facilitate change.

'Creative arts counselling' is a combination of multi modal, arts based interventions coupled with voice, movement, and psychodrama. These processes are engaged to promote authentic expression, develop insight and increase overall wellbeing.

I specialise and have an interest in: drug/alcohol addiction, psychosis, depression, anxiety, trauma, sleep disorder, resistance, abuse, relationship breakdown, life transitions, evoking passion, discovering and restoring personal meaning.

Please feel free to contact me by email or phone to enquire further about my services or make an appointment.
