Young People

I love working with young people between 12 and 35 years old. I know from my own experience how difficult it can be to engage in therapy for the first time. Often it can feel awkward or pretty daunting and scary. The walking therapist offers outdoor based walk & talk sessions in order to take away this stress as much as possible. Research has shown that being outdoors can help in regulating the nervous system, takes away the feeling of hierarchy and makes it easier to connect while doing a fun activity outdoors. If this is something you are interested in, please reach out.

Burnout recovery and prevention

I am specialised in working with people with burnouts or people who are experiencing burnout symptoms. During the first session we will explore together where you are at and what package might feel like the best option. All sessions will take place outdoors and will focus not only on the mental aspect of burnout, but also the physical. We will work together on recovering from your burnout, as well as creating a life where future burnout will be prevented. I work closely with GP’s and it is possible to get help through workers compensation insurances.

ADHD Therapeutic Coaching

Have you recently been diagnosed with ADHD and would you like some help with navigating life with this news? Or perhaps you suspect you have ADHD and could use some help with getting an assessment done? I have lived experience with ADHD and can bring an understanding on a personal level and make you feel supported. I am a certified ADHD clinical service provider and a member of Australia ADHD professionals association (AADPA) and together we can look at tools and tricks to help understand your diagnosis, your brain and find out what you might need longer term. Together we can find a way for you to thrive. I see this as creating YOUR manual: find out what works for YOU so you can create an environment where your brain can work as optimal as possible. 

Going through the process of getting a formal diagnosis and medication treatment is unfortunately not an easy thing here in Lutruwita/Tasmania. You need to have a formal diagnosis done by a psychiatrist and you need to find a GP who is willing to do the medication prescribing. Please reach out if you have any questions regarding this, as not all GP’s or psychiatrists are aware of the exact steps and requirements of the Tasmanian pharmaceutical branch. I work closely with several GP’s that might be able to be of assistance.

Clinical Supervision

During clinical supervision at The walking therapist, I will provide you with a strengths-based, positive and nurturing experience that enables you to reflect on your clinical experiences. Regular clinical supervision facilitates slow thinking, which supports you to process emotional, ethical and complex aspects of working with other people. Clinical supervision is not about overseeing your clinical practice, but about providing you with support, self-care, reflective space and positive nurturing. Clinical supervision can take place during a walk & talk, indoors, or through zoom.
