Services
Person Centered Counselling
The Person Centred Approach seeks to anchor the position that you are the expert in your own life, that you can discover your own answers through guided self-exploration. The role of Counselling support is to be curious but non-mechanistic, ensuring autonomy, withholding judgement, and demonstrating unconditional acceptance.
Therapeutic Approach
Narrative Therapy - validating your story, in your words as a means of healing.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy - support your inherent capacity to adapt to difficult circumstances / events, and find ways to evolve.
Solutions Focussed Therapy - your insights into your own experiences are a foundation to realistic choices & autonomy.
Neurodiversity Affirming Practice
Neurodiversity Affirming therapy steers away from seeing the clients neurotype as inherently "bad" or in need of fixing to become neurotypical. It aims for the person to explore their neurodivergent identity and find their own unique strengths. As a development within the social disability movement, it is also a doorway for a client to understand they are part of a community and a culture.
More Than Just Talk
The therapeutic journey gives considerable room for Personal Expression -whether that be through art, music, writing, diverse spiritual practices or finding inspiration in multi-media, gaming or sub/culture affiliation. All of these are part of your identity and can be incorporated in ways that provide validation, a sense of safety and a familiar language for expressing emotions.

Acknowledgement Of Country
I acknowledge the lands on which I operate on is the traditional lands for the Kaurna & Peramangk people and that I respect their spiritual relationship with their Country. I also acknowledge the Kaurna and Peramangk people as the custodians of these regions and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna & Peramangk people today. I pay respects to the cultural authority of First Nations people from other areas of South Australia/Australia that I encounter in this work.
