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 young people experiencing issues and challenges in childhood or adolescence. 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.

Dr. Antonio D'Costa
Registered Psychotherapist, M.B.B.S, M.D. (Paediatrics)
I specialize in pediatric medicine and trauma-focused therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work centers on supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult experiences.
As a pediatrician, I've seen how unprocessed trauma shows up in young lives- through sleep troubles, feeding issues, social withdrawal, and emotional struggles. EMDR offers a gentle, research-backed path to healing that goes beyond words.
With EMDRIA-approved training and my pediatric experience, I help families navigate some of their most challenging moments. Whether it's a child struggling with grief, an adolescent facing anxiety, or an adult working through long-held wounds, my approach blends medical expertise with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible- offering teletherapy across India and internationally, with subsidized sessions available for those who need them.
Let's connect if you're looking for trauma-informed support, professional collaboration, or referrals for children and families in need.

11 Years Experience
Online in Gold Coast, QLD
The Gold Coast's reputation as a lifestyle destination can obscure real mental health challenges tied to precarious hospitality employment, seasonal work patterns, and the psychological pressure of a culture that prizes physical appearance and outdoor performance. The city draws many young people relocating from elsewhere in Australia, and therapists frequently work with the isolation and adjustment challenges that come with starting fresh in a new city without established networks. Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service provides public mental health resources, while a growing private therapy community serves residents across Burleigh Heads, Broadbeach, and Robina. The city's proximity to Brisbane means some residents also access specialist care in the larger metro.
