Supporting your Neurodivergent self.

Individual support may include
-
Art or Craft
Art or Craft may be incorporated into your individual sessions. Quite often, it is easier to talk when we are busy with our hands. Art n Craft sessions may be held at your house or at Nat’s office space in Erskine (just south of Mandurah).
-
Walk n Talk
Walk n Talk may look like a walk along the beach… or a stroll at your local park. Talking about your issues, such as mental health, or about autism, or your diagnosis, may feel more comfortable if your session is ‘out and about’
-
Nature Prescription
There are numerous studies that highlight the benefits of being ‘out in nature’. Nature prescriptions can improve our physical and mental health. So if you would prefer your session to be in ‘the great outdoors’, Nature’s prescription may be for you.
-
Traditional Therapy
Its okay to just want to sit and discuss any concerns or difficulties you may be struggling with. Nat provides a safe space in at her office space in Erskine, or offers a mobile service (depending on your location. Mandurah/Peel surrounds and south of Perth preferred).
