Hello! My name is Cassandra and I am a neurodivergent counsellor with ACA accreditation, with an interest in art and other creative therapies. I love to create a safe, laid-back environment that is client-directed. If you want to sit and chat with a cup of tea, paint, sculpt, get up and take a walk, write, any way you choose to conduct a session is fine by me. I am here to help you navigate through the oceans of life; just as the manta ray is attuned to flow of currents and adapts to conserve precious energy, our work together can help you find balance in your life.
I offer a flexible service catered to your needs. I am available for sessions online and in person, and open to clients from ages 5 and upwards. If you want to paint, draw, sculpt, write, take a walk or just sit and chat, I'm here to help create a space that feels best for you.
I've been where you. Feeling broken, incomplete, wanting to feel better but not knowing how. For me, art was the answer. Whether you're looking for yourself or for your child, art therapy and counselling can provide the gentle, accessible approach needed to find meaning, happiness, wholeness and strength in life again. Are you ready to start healing?
