Tegan Bailey
Art Therapist, Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice
I offer neurodivergent-affirming creative arts therapy for Autistic youth (13+) and adults. As a late-identified AuDHDer, I understand the complexities of masking, identity and late recognition from lived experience as well as clinical training. Sessions move at a consent-aware pace and centre on artmaking rather than performance or explanation. There is no pressure to conform. Autonomy is supported through choice of materials, pacing and participation.

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 diagnosed with Autism. 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.

Kristen Bayliss
Psychologist, Registered Psychologist, BSc, MA
The uniqueness of each person with autism makes the experience of living with autism different for each individual and family. Autism is a life-long neurodevelopmental condition characterised by differences in social communication and interactions, alongside sensory sensitivities, focused interests, and repetitive behaviours. We support individuals and families in their journey to live life to it's fullest in all circumstances.

Body Sense Psychology
Psychologist, Master of Psychology, Bachelor of Arts (Honours Psychology), Certificate in Sexology
As a neurodiversity affirming practice, many of my clients are neurodiverse. I tailor the therapies and approach I take to meet your specific needs and goals and have a deep understanding that no two neurodiverse individuals are the same. As a neurodiverse person myself, I understand the additional challenges and difficulties that come from existing in a society that was not built by or for us.
I work with you to understand how the colour of your difference presents challenges in your life, and work with you to identify solutions and strategies that make day to day life easier. I also know that people have many different ways of interacting, sensing and communicating so offer my neurodiverse clients (and anyone who needs it) choice and autonomy during therapy. This means that you can choose:
- In person or remote (tele or video)
- talking, writing or drawing (communication isn't just verbal)
- getting a copy of session synopsis to refer to after the session in case you forget
- doing practical exercises with me in session, or doing them between sessions in your own time
- getting written notes or diagrams of what we've discussed in session that you can refer to later
- modifying the physical environment based on your preference (e.g. lower light, music or no music, aromatherapy scents etc).
