Tanisha Rose Ripp

Hello & welcome, you may have found your way here through a difficult time in your life and need support. You’ve come to the right place…

I offer short-term & long-term psychotherapy, art therapy and online counselling. My approach is integrative and holistic, this means I work with the mind, body, emotions, financial and spiritual parts of your life, using different modalities that change to adapt to your needs.  Most importantly, I meet you where you are at - because traditional, historical therapy doesn’t work best for everyone.

I believe the hardest step is knowing you are valuable enough to receive support and together we will work through the hard stuff, grow your emotional toolkit and improve your wellbeing and your relationships.

Online & Text Counselling

I currently work with most clients online. Online counselling consists of live video, Text-only WhatsApp, phone calls, email and live messenger.

Counselling online has additional benefits and flexibility, such as eliminating international location restrictions, lower running costs, meeting mobility issues for disabled clients and eliminating travel time. 

Workshops

I also run regular workshops exploring the particular issues around selfhood, self-esteem, race and cultural trauma, using skills from art therapy and counselling to approach and heal these issues. You can find the latest information and sign up through my website.

Art Therapy

Art Therapy is similar to talking therapy, except with the added benefits of using art materials to express, process and understand your emotions, issues and sense of self.  Clients do not need to always to make art in sessions and do not need to have any experience with art making.

Using art, we put negative ‘stuff’ onto something outside of us, which taps into parts of the brain that are not controlled by conscious thought, such as reading and talking. This creative side of the brain can access deep memories that are suppressed and hidden, allowing us to safely explore and resolve them together.

Art Therapy can also be adapted to online counselling work. Please get in touch for more details.

About Me

My experience ranges in working with adults, adolescents and children one-to-one, in groups, communities, charity settings, public and independent schools and in behavioural services. Also as a culture enthusiast, I have travelled and been involved community development programs, charity and projects for over 10 years, including international support for projects in Brazil and Japan.

I often work with culturally & ethnically diverse or marginalised clients who feel ‘different’. From conflicts within race, feminism, masculinity, neurodivergence, religion (Christianity, Islam etc.) and other spiritualities, to members of the LGBTQIA community, our time together is aimed to create a safe space for you to bring the awkward, confusing and difficult issues.
