To provide a person-centred, integrative counselling space where evidence-informed creative, nature-based, and traditional approaches support reflection, insight, and personal growth

mission

Hi, I'm Deanna

I’m a registered counsellor who values the richness and complexity of relationships and connections between people, communities and the natural world. My work is person-centred, recognising that each individual brings their own strengths, values and understandings and that different approaches suit different people. Respecting, valuing and celebrating diversity is central to the way I work.

With a background in environmental science and education, I integrate creative approaches and nature-based practices within an evidence-informed therapeutic framework that draws on Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) to support self-awareness, emotional regulation and meaning making. 

In sessions, we might talk, create, notice and explore – using conversation, metaphor, art-making or nature connection as supportive pathways. Sessions are often held outdoors (either seated or as walk and talk therapy) to support nervous-system regulation and a sense of groundedness. I focus on relationship, safety and building strong foundations for sustainable change, supporting people to reconnect with their strengths and values.
