AMANDA SCANDRETT

Hi! I’m Amanda. I am an Art Therapist with a MEd (Master of Educational Psychology, Counselling) and have been trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches (listed below). I am especially interested in how we can connect to holistic aspects of wellbeing (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) to support any blocks you may be experiencing as a result of trauma or unhelpful thoughts, habits, beliefs, experiences, etc. 

 

A trauma-informed approach is integrated into every moment we are together. This means that we take things gently and centre the process around safety, trust/transparency, collaboration, empowerment, and from a place of cultural humility & understanding of the biases and systemic imbalances present in our world (race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, historical trauma, ability, etc.)

 

Our one-on-one sessions together will typically blend a variety of the therapeutic approaches listed below. These approaches flow seamlessly in and out of one another. However, if you are looking to work exclusively with any of the specific approaches below (or specifically not work with one of them), we can do that too.
