FAQs | Art Therapy & Counselling Cairns | ArtAbility Cairns

Question 1

What can I expect at my first appointment?

Accepted Answer

The first appointment is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll talk about what has brought you to counselling, your strengths, your goals, and any questions you may have. Together, we'll discuss the best way to move forward at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Question 2

Do I need to be artistic?

Accepted Answer

No. Creative and expressive processes are offered as another way to communicate and explore experiences, but they are never compulsory. No artistic ability is required, and many sessions involve conversation alone.

Question 3

Do you accept NDIS and private clients?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I welcome NDIS and private clients. If you have questions about your plan or how counselling may fit within your supports, please feel free to get in touch.

Question 4

Where are sessions held?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are available at my welcoming Clifton Beach studio, in clients' homes (travel charges apply), or online where appropriate.

Question 5

What kinds of issues do you help with?

Accepted Answer

People seek counselling for many different reasons. I support individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship difficulties, emotional and behavioural challenges, learning concerns, trauma, and other personal or family issues. Every person's situation is unique, and support is tailored to their individual needs.

A little clarity before we begin.

I still have questions. What should I do?
