Welcome!

Hey there! My name is Cassandra (she, they) and I am the founder of Manta Ray Creative Therapies and an ACA accredited counsellor. Here at Manta Ray Counselling and Art therapy, I believe in the power of creativity and art to facilitate healing and growth. I’m a big believer that there is no ‘one size fits all,’ and that your story and you are unique and deserve to be treated as such, so I love to create a tailored, flexible approach that works best for you as an individual.

As a neurodivergent counsellor (Autism) who lives with chronic illness and disability (Endometriosis, hEDS, FND). I love to tailor the therapy sessions to you and your individual needs, making them fun, relaxing and a space that helps you draw in energy rather than just expending it.

No matter your story, what you choose to share, your unique voice matters and I endeavor to support you in your journey of healing. Rest assured, your sessions, whether you choose to have them in person or via telehealth, are tailored to you.

I welcome people of all ages, from ages 5 and up, and have plenty of background experience in working with children. I have a particular interest in the fields of trauma, neurodivergence, disability and chronic illness, and like to take an integrated approach to sessions with talk therapy combined with creative elements. Let's embark on this therapeutic journey together, where art and counselling intertwine to help you navigate life’s oceans.
