Creative approaches and evidence-based care online

Kerryn combines creative expressive work with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support clients in exploring what sits beneath presenting difficulties. Creative expressive therapy involves using metaphor, symbolism and creative processes to access feelings and stories that can be hard to name in words - this approach can be useful for people wanting new ways to make sense of anxiety, low motivation, self-esteem and life transitions. Traditional, evidence-based techniques focus on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour and building practical skills to manage stress and anxiety and to navigate career and life changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and is done collaboratively. Kerryn works with clients to identify which methods feel most helpful given their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the approach as progress unfolds. When clients engage with appropriately qualified or registered professionals and therapists, they can expect a considered process that matches approach to presenting concerns.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and choose the format that best fits day-to-day life.
