I work with children in clinic, helping with such things as anxiety, school problems, ASD/ADHD.
This is a picture done by an 8 year old client this week.
I gave him this as home work and mum sent me this pic.
When working with children, I often do nervous system regulation work through working with the felt sense and what colour the body is when experiencing different feelings .

This boy was experiencing night terrors and separation anxiety . When he experienced these feelings his body felt a dark blue and very heavy and scary.

We needed to remind his body what calm feels like, so we used his mums arms as she was in the room.
Otherwise i usually use Amber at this stage.

When his body was calm and safely connected his body felt this beautiful soft green.
So we mapped these feelings into his nervous system .

This is a deep psychotherapy process, to help rewire the body and nervous system and learning to self regulate.
The separation anxiety is an indication that the body is finding it difficult to self regulate .

After a beautiful session together i asked him to go home and draw this - as a way to integrate what we did in therapy.

Since this first session he has been sleeping better and much calmer.

I see a lot of children, teens and adults on the Autism Spectrum.
I have a lot of different resources in my clinic room to help with communication and to manage sensory processing-
Including a basket full of sensory toys, a therapy dog, chairs that rock, communication cards and a weighted blanket.

We also often play Uno together while we are talking, to help maintain focus.

The other day one of my teenage clients had some emotions surface, so grabbed her phone and text me saying she was unable to talk.
So we completed the remainder of our session texting each other, and exploring her feelings through text chat.

One of my other clients prefers me to turn off the lamp and overhead lights when he has his session.
Sometimes we sit on cushions on the floor for our session.

I have also recently written letters to various schools to advise how they can support my client in the classroom.

Understanding neurodiversity means understanding the different sensory and communication needs of my clients.

I also see clients through plan managed NDIS funding.

If you or anyone you know needs support in managing overwhelm, meltdowns or anxiety

This was a recent session I had with a teenager I am working with.
I have been seeing her regularly.
She has autism and often finds words difficult to find- so I find different therapeutic ways to facilitate her and help her to reintegrate.

The process of making this dream catcher was very therapeutic and calming for her.

I have been using art therapy in many of my sessions recently-
Art therapy has an incredible way of unifying dysregulated parts of us.
Making order of the chaos, allowing the subconscious to process that which is too buried or painful to speak.

I see incredible shifts in my clients through the therapeutic process of making art.

This is a therapeutic way to balance the neurophysiology of the brain.

This photo was taken with a client I have been seeing for over 6 months, and this was a healing mandala she created.

She felt whole, integrated healed and regulated after this session.

Amber is my beautiful therapy dog.
πŸ’–
This photo was taken in a session doing deep trauma therapy.
My client had a big shift and got a bit teary as she re integrated herself.
Amber intuitively walked over to her and sat with her.
It was very calming, grounding and cantering for my client to have interaction with Amber.

I absolutely love working with Amber.
Sometimes she is not in the room, but most of my clients request her and get so much therapeutic benefit from her.

Today I ran my
Intuitive Art Class.
It was amazing - the participants enjoyed it and got so much benefit.

I have run these workshops many times over the past 10-15 years, but due to lockdowns and finishing Masters, I have had a break from running them over the past few years.

Combining expressive therapy with psychotherapy, meditation and intuitive development- such deep and profound work happens in these sessions.
I’ll be running more next term… Locally and closer to the city.

I am so happy to be offering Shiatsu again!
πŸŒΏπŸ™
After a knee injury in January I have taken a break from offering Shiatsu as I was unable to kneel.
This week I have begun again and it’s beautiful. My clients have loved the sessions, and I love it too!
I combine Shiatsu with Reiki and energy healing.
It is like a deep meditation for the body, where the parts of yourself are somehow put back together, and you are gently guided back into your body, and energy flow is corrected. Muscle and energy tension is released.
You will feel more relaxed, more invigorated and more connected to you.

Call me if you would like to ask about this, or to book a session.
