Nonjudgment - I can ask for what I need, and you can ask for what you need. We can talk about how we feel without judgment. Generosity - we do our best to be generous with our thoughts toward others See more

16.01.2022 This analogy is not only relevant to COVID but to life in general. We all have unique life experiences and perceptions which may effect our resilience, life strategies, and tools that we learn to manage difficulties. Be mindful of this when witnessing your and others reactions to life.

15.01.2022 Welcome to Art of Life Counselling IF THIS IS AN EMERGENCY PLEASE CALL 000 Life Line Suicide prevention 13 11 14 Sexual Assault Crisis Line 1800 806 292 SANE Helpline 1800 18 7263... My name is Mairead (Ma-raid) and I am a Counsellor and Art therapist at the Louis Joel Arts and Community Centre in Altona. I hold a Bachelor in Counselling, Diploma in Art therapy, Certificate III in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultural Competency and Cert in Animal Assisted Therapy, working along side Moon Shadow the Therapy Dog. I am a current Post Graduate student furthering my formal qualifications studying Master Class in Trauma Counselling and Psychotherapy using Animal Assisted Therapies through Lead The Way. I specialise in working with adults experiencing PTSD, assisting recovery for adult survivors of childhood trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, somatic and psychogenic disorders. I also have experience in Drug and Alcohol related issues, non-marital relationships, depression and attachment. During our one hour sessions together, clients might address topics such as anxiety, depression, unhelpful thoughts or behaviours, being stuck in a cycle that isn't working for you, fears and phobias and other mental health concerns. I am practices in modalities such as talk therapy, creative arts therapy, mindfulness, full body focusing, narrative therapy, Jungian dream work, other person centred therapies. and Animal Assisted Therapies. It was a great honour to receive 2013 a City of Hobsons Bay Inspirational Women's Award in 2012, for my many years of volunteer work in social care, a large proportion being survivors of adult sexual abuse.

14.01.2022 When on the topic of phycological trauma, the terms, "Flight, Fright, and Freeze" are often mentioned in describing central nervous system reactions to triggers which awaken trauma responses. These responses are evolutionary, natural reactions to stimuli which triggers the need to protect ourselves from danger and can be seen throughout the animal kingdom. Here is an example of a squirrel first displaying freeze and then flight.

07.01.2022 Unfortunately, due to ongoing heart health issues, I can no longer work with one to one clients with complex and loaded lifestyle and mental health issues. I am, however, continuing to hold group Creative Art Therapy on a weekly basis and have recently completed my Training and Assessment Qualification. I plan to offer workshops in Trauma Informed Practice for businesses and individuals wishing to learn more about the language of trauma, supporting others and self, listening ...to the body, and how to connect in a safe and engaging manner. Thanks for you ongoing support Live your Bliss Mairead

01.01.2022 This story is a wonderful insight into how ANYONE might find their lives affected by addictive behaviour. Forget about blame and shame and focus on the recovery needs for all individuals. If you have undertaken mediation and counselling and leaving a relationship is the healthiest decision, then that might be what needs to happen to undertake steps to recovery. The relationship and healthy boundaries may be rebuilt when all parties are in a healthier state.

01.01.2022 Although symptoms of Depression have commonalities for many, the experience is different for everyone. An important self care factor is awareness of your self or others. If you notice that you or a friend no longer find joy or vitality in things that would typically enrich your life for greater than two weeks, it may be advisable to book yourself in for a physical check up with your doctor to rule out organic illness. Sharing your experience with a counsellor may open up the stuckness of life, offering release and new perspectives.
