Counselling Services

At Ballarat Art Therapies, I offer counselling and Critical Incident Debriefing.

Talking with friends or family can be comforting, but it doesn’t always give us the space we truly need. Therapy offers confidentiality, perspective, emotional support, and tools to help make sense of what you’re going through. It’s a place where you can breathe out, slow down, and feel listened to without judgement.

Everyone comes to therapy for different reasons. You might want clarity, reassurance, or a space to express what you haven’t been able to say elsewhere. You might be going through a transition or feeling overwhelmed, or you may want to work more deeply with long-held patterns or emotions.

I hold a grounded and compassionate space where your story, your pace, and your needs guide the work. My approach is always person-centred, meaning I focus on the whole person—not just the problem. Your spiritual life and beliefs are welcomed and supported when they are meaningful to you.

How We Work Together

My sessions blend evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, including:

• Compassionate Inquiry

• Mindfulness practices

• CBT and ACT

• Metaphor, imagery, and symbolic language

Together we explore your experiences with curiosity and care. Sometimes the healing begins simply by telling your story and feeling deeply heard.
