Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
Domestic Abuse is so damaging because it happens usually with someone we love and who we are deeply bonded to. Therefore it can be very difficult to get clarity on what is actually happening, what behaviour is okay and isn't, and what decisions need to be made. I work with you to understand the situations that you might be finding yourself in. I use resources specific to DV and helpful practical strategies so that you can establish physical safety and then, when the crisis period is over, do the emotional and reflective work to process your experiences.

Rosette Rouhana Art Therapy
Art Therapist, Bachelor of Art Therapy
Hello and welcome! I am a registered Arts Therapist and counsellor based in Sydney. I provide art therapy and counselling to those experiencing, or have experienced domestic abuse or violence, and needing support to process and heal the experiences that were faced as a result of DV. Through my practice, I make an intentional commitment to support individuals in their health and wellbeing journey. My mission is to enrich and empower the lives of others through creativity and connection. My passion for expressive creative arts has inspired me to further explore how art can be used as a tool for healing, and the ways it can be used in mental health recovery as a psychotherapeutic modality.

Townsville is the largest city in tropical North Queensland — a military, agricultural, and mining hub built around Lavarack Barracks (home to the Army's 3rd Brigade), James Cook University, and a regional healthcare system serving a vast geographic area. The city's significant Australian Army presence creates therapy demand from military families navigating deployment stress and the emotional challenges of service life, while the broader civilian population navigates the economic cycles of mining and agriculture. Townsville University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while James Cook University's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local and regional community. Townsville's tropical climate and geographic isolation — it is the largest city between Brisbane and Darwin — mean therapists serve clients from a very wide catchment, and telehealth plays an important role in extending care across North Queensland.
