Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. ~ Desmond Tutu.
My name is Jaya (She/Her). I am a somatic-oriented, neuroscience-affirming and culturally responsive Melbourne (Narrm) based therapist. My specialist practice domains intersect expressive art(s), Psychodrama (ABP) and group process. I am adept at fostering other than linguistic (talk/verbal) ways of knowing, being and sensing. 
I  integrate trauma-informed principles and concentrate on ages 14+. I offer in-person and online configurations in (1-1), duos (2-1), and groups. I sense my role as a therapist to be an offering of care, presence, and connection. 
I have 4 opening(s) for 1-1 &amp; Duo in-person engagements and groups (online and in-person) in 2024. I have a waitlist for online 1:1. 
Please book a 15-minute Zoom consultation to know more.

<h3>Client Testimonial(s)</h3>
The journey with Jaya has been the compass and trust I needed to heal my trauma, shame and hurt. Her intuition and empathy, along with positivity and encouragement, have given me the belief to accept that life is more than the past and to be present for each day. My nervous system, fear, and doubt have been supported with visual, sound, self-soothing and breathing resources. I have self-care practices that I trust and reach for in my moments of doubt and triggers in continuing my healing process with her.
------------------------------------
Jaya’s work has been profound and immensely helpful. She is highly skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate. It has been quite extraordinary for me to be guided through an unfolding process utilizing a range of experiences (in the moment), such as awareness of my body sensations, the language of the body, creation of symbols from my imagination, dramatic role-playing, art therapy, and symbolic play. Each session helped me to build new awareness and more personal resources, which I have been able to put to direct practical everyday use. Most powerful. !
