NDIS · Individual support

A creative space to work towards your goals

I offer individual counselling and/or arts therapy for people with self-managed or plan-managed NDIS plans, in Northcote and online.

Sometimes it can be hard to find the words. We might begin with conversation, an image, colour, an object or a simple creative process. You do not need to be artistic or arrive knowing what to say. There is room to begin where you are.

Working together

I bring warmth, curiosity and creativity to our work. Together, we can explore your experiences, feelings and relationships, with attention to what matters to you and the goals you would like to work towards.

Creative invitations are optional. We follow what emerges together, without rushing to explain it or deciding in advance what it means.

A few questions you might have

Do I need to be good at art?

No. There’s no right way to make something here. We can talk, use images or try a simple creative process. Creative invitations are optional.

Can I use my NDIS plan?

I work with people whose plans are self-managed or plan-managed. Please get in touch before booking so we can talk about your goals and the practical arrangements. Check with your plan manager or NDIS contact that these sessions fit your funding. A booking on its own doesn’t confirm that a session can be claimed.

How long is a session, and what does it cost?

An individual counselling and/or arts therapy session is 60 minutes and costs $140.

Can we meet online?

Yes. Sessions are available online as well as in Northcote. The Northcote building isn’t wheelchair accessible, so please contact me about your access needs and whether meeting online might suit you.

What happens in the free chat?

We have 20 minutes by telephone to talk about what you’re looking for, ask a few questions and explore whether we’re a good fit. You don’t need to come in person.
