Explore Services on offer
Here are Manta Ray Counselling and Creative Therapies, I am committed to providing a quality service that is person-centered, evidenced based, with practices upheld by the ACA code of conduct.
I offer integrated approaches that entwine the creative with talk therapy, so you can choose to conduct a session via painting, drawing, writing, sculpting, journaling, building, or simply sitting down with a cup of coffee or tea for a chat.
These services are available via telehealth consults on Monday to Thursday, or in person consults on Wednesday and Thursday via a room located in Djerriwarrh Community and Educational Services, Melton, Victoria.
I know how important it is that you ‘mesh’ with your therapist, and so I offer a free, 15 minute consult in which we’ll have a chat over the phone to ensure that you feel I am the best fit for you before committing yourself.
Whether we connect through telehealth or in person, know that you are not alone. All ages are welcome to embrace the transformative power of art integrated into counselling sessions. Reach out today and start on your journey of healing!
Is this service the right fit for me?
Manta Ray Counselling and Creative Therapies is open to everyone, from ages five and up, and this service, through the use of art-based approaches, can be very beneficial for those under 25 who may struggle with other forms of therapy that feel too constricting or confronting. However, it can be very beneficial for any one of any age.
I cater to a range of issues, from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, neurodivergence and other life stress. This is also a LGBTIQA+ safe space. Everyone is welcome.
How does this therapy work?
Whether via telehealth or an in person consult, each initial session runs for 1.5 hours to allow time for the collection of information, and every subsequent session runs for 1 hour.
These sessions are client-centred, meaning that you get to decide how the session will progress. You can choose what you’d like to focus on, and how you would like to conduct the session, whether by a simple chat or using an art medium.
If you choose to attend an in person consult, you can select from a range of available mediums, such as drawing, painting, sculpting, writing, collage, etc. If you wish to attend a session via telehealth consult, you can bring your own materials to the session.
I will be there to support you as you explore your thoughts and feelings, helping to guide you through the journey. Each sessions ends with check-in and a grounding exercise to ensure you feel confident and refreshed before leaving session.
