Create & Grow

Art therapy -  “Through our art therapy sessions, she helped me discover and understand deep emotions, and encouraged me to express myself freely. While the process was challenging at times and brought tears to my eyes, her guidance and reflection offered hope and a newfound sense of understanding. The safe space she created allowed me to explore my inner world through art, leading to moments of self-awareness, growth and clarity in my decisions. I carry the lessons and valuable insights she shared with me, and I appreciate the transformative impact she had on my journey of healing and self-discovery.” - M.C

Hello, my name is Adele.

Since 2018, I have had the privilege of working as a mental health professional. I provide online and face-to-face services, specialising in creative client-centred mental health care. 

Originally from South Africa, our family have called Australia home since 2008, relocating to Merimbula in 2022 and we love living here. I am privileged to run an Art Therapy group for Penrith Women's Health working with domestic and family violence survivors and also providing face-to-face services from Sapphire Centre here in Merimbula.

Professionally, my work ethic and interests are influenced by being part of a neurodivergent family also by my lived experiences volunteering in aged care and being a trauma survivor.

Those closest to me know me as empathic, creative, and slightly quirky.
