I work with children, adolescents and adults.
Hi. I’m Colleen Nicholas. I’m an Art Therapist, Sandtray Therapist, Interactive Drawing Therapist and Counsellor. I offer expressive therapies in addition to talk therapy, because sometimes words are not enough. It can be difficult to find words to express what we are thinking, feeling or experiencing. Sometimes we are not aware of the “real issue” that’s causing our distress.

I offer phone and face to face support for children, teens and families.
Sometimes we can get lost in our thoughts, we can get caught up in the busy everyday and forget about our own mental health, our own wellbeing. If you are finding it difficult to rest, difficult to sleep or perhaps your mind wanders at work and you can't stay focussed. Those simple decisions have become too hard and the motivation is slipping away. If you feel you are experiencing more 'down' days than 'up' days it could be time to reach out for support. I can help you to establish goals to get you back on track, to be a happier you and back to enjoying life to its fullest.
