About
Drug and Alcohol Councillor
With a background in Visual Arts and Education (Registered Teacher), I completed a Master of Counselling
and a Graduate Diploma in Creative Arts Therapies through Murdoch University. I am registered as a
Counsellor with ACA (Level 2) and an Art Therapist with ANZACATA. I began working in the AOD sector with
Palmerston and the integrated services of South Metro Community Alcohol and Drug Services (SMCADS)
January 2022, expanding on my interest in trauma informed provision of judgement free, Person-centered
counselling. I engage an integrated approach informed by ACT, CBT, DBT, IFS, motivational interviewing
and mindfulness body-based theories and processes that support clients in moving towards what is most
important to them as an individual currently. I am passionate about whole being wellness and preventative
approaches alongside providing support for those who are on a recovery journey of any kind.
