Celebrating abilities. Supporting growth.
At ArtAbility Cairns, I provide professional, person-centred counselling in a safe, supportive and respectful environment for people of all ages. Drawing on more than 40 years of professional experience, my practice integrates counselling, the visual arts, education, and creativity and health to provide individualised support. Every session is tailored to the individual's strengths, interests and goals.
Creative and expressive processes are integrated throughout my practice, providing additional ways to communicate, understand experiences, address challenges, support personal growth and enhance wellbeing. No artistic ability is required.
I welcome NDIS, ECEI and private clients seeking support with emotional wellbeing, relationships, life transitions, learning, behaviour, trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, self-esteem, and other personal challenges.
My professional background includes counselling, university teaching and research, providing a breadth of experience that informs my work with people of all ages. My qualifications include a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, degrees in Education and Fine Arts, a Diploma of Counselling, a PhD in Education, and a Specialist Certificate in Creativity and Health.
Sessions are available at my welcoming Clifton Beach studio, in clients' homes (travel charges apply), or online.
