Supportive and Innovative therapy that is all about you!
Hi! My name is Tasch
I graduated from Curtin University with a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy in 2011. Since then, I have had the privilege to work alongside children, adolescents and adults within the disability and mental health sector.
Following further study in Art Therapy, I was awarded my qualifications as an Art Psychotherapist in 2019. I love using creativity therapeutically within my therapy sessions.
I am passionate about collaboratively working with clients to progress towards their goals using creative and individualized methods.
Therapy is a collaborative process where the therapist walks alongside the client for a period of time, sharing their journey and learning from each other!
