Hi, I'm Rachel.

My story

Making art is part of how I make sense of things. Every piece on this page is my own, made with paint, pastels, clay, wool, ink and things gathered outside. I know from my own practice how much a few marks on paper can say when the words won't come.

I combine art and counselling to give children, teenagers and adults a safe, creative space to explore their experiences, build on their strengths and grow. I use lots of different materials and ways of creating, so each person can find the one that feels like theirs.

I'm a Certified Practising counsellor with PACFA, an active member and presenter with the Mental Health Professionals Network for the Gold Coast and Metro South Brisbane, and I hold a Master of Art Therapy.

I've worked with children, families, schools and community organisations. I bring everything we need to you, so you can create somewhere you already feel comfortable.

How I work

I believe everyone has the ability to create, grow and be heard. My sessions are warm, playful and built on your strengths: what you enjoy, what you are good at and what already works.

I am a trauma-informed, human-centred practitioner, and I welcome people of all abilities and backgrounds, honouring diversity in culture, religion and identity.
