Children & Adolescent Coaching – Complimentary Consultation
Is your child or teenager struggling with ADHD or other forms of neurodivergence?
Young people with ADHD, autism or learning differences often experience challenges with focus, organisation, emotional regulation and school demands. Difficulties with study and revision skills are often linked to executive function development, and many young people also struggle with confidence, social interaction and communication.
Through specialist coaching, I work directly with children and adolescents to strengthen executive function skills such as planning, organisation, study and revision strategies, sustained attention and task completion. We also work on emotional regulation, confidence, and developing stronger social and communication skills.
I support parents as well, helping them better understand their child’s needs and offering practical guidance that strengthens communication and support at home and in school.
Book a complimentary consultation to explore how we can support your child’s development, learning and wellbeing.

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.

16 Years Experience

Adelaide is South Australia's capital and one of Australia's most liveable cities, with a strong arts, food, and festival culture that coexists with the mental health challenges common to all major Australian cities. The Royal Adelaide Hospital and Flinders Medical Centre provide substantial institutional mental health resources, while the University of Adelaide and Flinders University maintain active clinical psychology training programs feeding into the private practice community. Adelaide's lower housing costs relative to Sydney and Melbourne make private therapy more financially accessible for a broader segment of the population, and the city's compact geography means practices are relatively easy to reach. Growing migrant communities from India, China, and Southeast Asia are increasing demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists.
