I am a Clinical Psychologist (PhD) working in Brisbane - Australia. My research and clinical focus is cross-cultural and cross-lingual psychotherapy. One of the goals (and great joys!) of my private practice (www.elfaro.com.au) is to provide psychological treatment to the general Australian adult population (in English!), but also to the Spanish speaking community living in Australia in their native language (Spanish).

Arts Therapy is a professional clinical health service. This is an arts-based approach to therapy, incorporating modality into the interventions. Sessions are experiential, embodied and use all of the verbal and non-verbal cues to build a more informed picture and sense of awareness about our situations and relationships. You may want to take a step towards bettering your own mental health and wellbeing, support your team or colleagues in their professional development, or simply embark on a new journey with a loved one or family to improve your connections and awareness of one another.

Are you stuck in a spiral of overthinking, or anxious, self-critical, confusing thought loops that just won't give you a break? You might also feel aware that you are more sensitive than others. Perhaps you're very hard on yourself, even though you know how much this approach exhausts and isolates you. But what if there was another way? I can help you to gently explore your experience to find clarity. And over time, you can develop an inner "compassionate self" to rely on, one who will care for you in a kind, wise way.

Many of us come to a time in our lives when we know we want things to be different. We may be tired of suffering and struggling, but need support to move forwards. I enjoy working with adults and older adolescents to help you identify your strengths, learn healthy coping strategies, heal from past and present difficulties, and live a life that feels rich, meaningful and happy. I also have a strong interest in cultivating and teaching mindfulness, which I see as a profound way to enhance psychological resilience and feelings of happiness and contentment for a broad range of people – including myself!

My journey in the helping profession began with a successful career in Public Relations and Recruitment. However I was always more interested in the uniqueness and individuality of people - how they think, feel and navigate life’s challenges. Everyone possesses resilience and competence, and my goal is to support you to reconnect what is really important to you and identify the strategies and supports that will meet your unique needs. With a deeper awareness, you can reconnect with your own hopes for the way you want to live your life.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
