If you are unable to join us live, recordings will be available.
I'm so pleased to have you here.
And I'd love for you to join me in taking a little time out at lunchtime during this year's Mental Health Week.
I'm Minky van der Walt (she/her): a registered clinician with the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA), and the Australian Music Therapy Association.
Within PACFA, I am a clinical member (#26483), an Accredited Mental Health Practitioner and a PACFA Accredited Supervisor.
As a trauma therapist, I have expertise in chronic stress and post-traumatic mental health.
In addition to 23 years of clinical experience across a range of medical, education and community settings, I offer supports based in trauma-specific practice (including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, and Internal Family Systems Therapy approaches), music, creative arts and somatic processes, as well more traditional talk-focused approaches.
I am passionate about supporting health professionals to thrive in their work through a process of clarity, connection, compassion, creativity and community.
I want to help you to get out of your head and into your body, to get your mojo back and to find a pathway back to feeling like you again.
Join us daily, Monday 9 - Friday 13 October 12.30 - 1pm, AEDT.
Why self care is not enough for healthcare workers
Why can self care be problematic in healthcare?
And what can we do about it?

Creative arts and music to bypass thinking and access support
