Counselling with | Tash

Tash is a dedicated and compassionate professional Counsellor and Art Therapist with a profound commitment to youth mental health and a special focus on supporting the autistic community. 

Counselling and Art therapy are two of Tash’s primary modalities, harnessing the power of creative expression to facilitate healing and self-discovery. Utilising both play therapy and sand therapy in her practice, Tash utilises these unique approaches to engage clients in a sensory and symbolic exploration of their emotions and experiences. 

Driven by a personal connection to the cause, Tash is a proud parent of two autistic teenagers. This firsthand experience fuels Tash’s passion for understanding and addressing the unique challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals.

Beyond clinical practice, Tash is a staunch advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, creating a safe and inclusive space for individuals of diverse backgrounds.
