Bernice Wolford

I offer a person-centred, creative, and compassionate therapeutic space for teenagers and adults from all walks of life. As a PACFA-registered counsellor, a Creative and Experiential Therapist (C.CET), and a tiered member of ANZACATA, I use an integrated art therapy approach to support emotional expression, psychological healing, and personal growth.

My approach is grounded in empathy, presence, and deep respect for each person’s unique story. Whether you're navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I provide a safe space where all parts of you are welcome. I also support clients with specific mental health or neurodevelopmental diagnoses such as PTSD, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Generalised Anxiety Disorder, and Depression. Therapy is adapted to meet the unique needs and communication styles of each person, offering flexibility, empathy, and a strengths-based approach.

Through an integrated art therapy process, I support clients to:

• Reconnect with their sense of self and inner strength

• Navigate and process grief and loss with care and meaning

• Safely explore and process trauma at their own pace

• Build confidence and develop a more empowered self-image

• Strengthen emotional regulation and self-awareness

• Use creative expression as a tool for healing, clarity, and connection

Art therapy can be especially powerful when words feel too hard or too limited. No art skill is needed — this process is about expression, not expertise. Whether we work through artmaking, conversation, or both, my role is to walk alongside you — gently, without judgment — as you move toward healing and transformation.

Wherever you are on your path, therapy with me offers a calm, supportive space to explore, heal, and grow — one creative step at a time.
