Nature-based mental health care in Lutruwita/Tasmania
Get accessible and personalised mental healthcare in-person outdoors or from the comfort of your home.
The approach
I provide trauma-focused mental health care through nature-based therapy sessions.
Traditional sit and talk therapy is not for everyone; sometimes it might feel awkward or too confronting to sit in a room with someone and share your difficulties with them. Bringing therapy outdoors can really help with building a safe relationship and making conversations feel more natural. Often when we walk/move and talk it feels easier to bring more structure to our thoughts, we don’t have to look the other person in the eyes (which often feels more safe) and having silences in between feel more natural (as we also have to focus on where we are walking). It is also known that moving while talking can help us with regulating our emotions better.
I work in a person centered and action focussed way, which means that our sessions will empower you to take ownership of your mental wellbeing; I believe you have got the answers inside of you already and you just need the right tools to (re)connect to that again.
I am specialised in youth and adolescent mental health, ADHD, trauma, burn out and emotion regulation.
If you’re interested in this, but not sure yet about the outdoor approach; on Fridays I rent an office in Nipaluna/Hobart CBD and have some spots available to see people indoors.
Providing you with a safe space to (re)connect with your mind and body.
All your appointments will take place in the beautiful natural environments of Nipaluna/Hobart, preferably in a walk & talk format. I have a mobile office so I can come to a spot near your place.
Alternative options are; indoors in an office space (CBD and from March onwards 1 day a week at Lauderdale) or through zoom.
