Hi I'm Cheree, and I'm a qualified Art Therapist, HH Dip (A.TH.) and member with IICT. In the past 3 yrs I took a new turn in my life and began a journey in personal development, learning about self help, mental health, behaviours and how are mental models can determine our outcomes. From here I discovered the power of Art Therapy. Art therapy is about achieving goals and learning how, where and why our thoughts are developed. It is a way of expressing feelings in a creative way often without words. I'm also continuing my knowledge and studying a Diploma of Counselling with AIPC (Australians Institute of Professional Counsellors). I'm extremely passionate about helping others and I believe Art Therapy can be beneficial in our journey towards healing or understanding where we are going in our life. You don't need to be an artist to apply this to your life, you just need to be open and ready for change and transformation to begin. %09 Art Therapy is beneficial for anyone experiencing: Depression Trauma / PTSD Panic Attacks Anxiety Domestic/ Family Violence Eating Disorder Grief/ Loss Postpartum depression Substance abuse/ addictions Suicidal thoughts/ attempts Chronic health condition

I am here to provide support through difficult times and to work with you on challenges or issues you may be facing.

I have worked in various different clinical settings including in both inpatient and outpatient hospital settings, university clinics and private practice. I have also trained in a number of therapeutic approaches. Together, this variety of experiences and training has provided me with understanding and insight into a wide range of different presenting problems or concerns and the impact of these on your-day-today. This also allows me to tailor my therapeutic approach so that we, together, can work on enhancing your wellbeing, make internal or external change to the self or context, and build upon a satisfying, meaningful and fulfilling life in line with your values. As a Clinical Psychologist in private practice, I currently work with adults aged 18 years and over.

Founded in 2001, Ostara Australia is a national not-for-profit organisation that works closely with the Australian Government, member services, communities and employers to provide employment services for those job seekers who are the most disadvantaged in Australia. We recognise the barriers to employment for individuals disadvantaged through mental illness and disability, and also the particular challenges for indigenous and refugee communities, mature aged people and the youth. Our holistic approach addresses both the vocational and non-vocational barriers faced by disadvantaged job seekers. As such, we deliver personalised employment services, whilst also working in collaboration with countless community and welfare organisations to help job seekers with any mental, cultural or emotional issues. Through research and experience, we know that the high unemployment rate among disadvantaged people is the result of external barriers, rather than a lack of capacity or motivation. These barriers are often based on ignorance, discrimination, stigma or inflexibility in accommodating special needs within the workplace. We work with employers to remove these barriers to meaningful employment. Through collaboration we give employers a voice as champions and leaders in integrating equity, diversity, recovery and wellbeing within the workplace and beyond. Ostara Australia has a vision for creating a future for Australia where people and communities experiencing disadvantage are socially and economically included.
