Occupational Therapy: An Occupational Therapy lens considers the whole person - their social, emotional, spiritual, mental and physical being within their environments and their day-to-day life. Our habits, tasks and activities make up all that we do from sleeping to playing to home and work life. Our valued roles also form our everyday life as well as contributing to our identity and contribution to the world around us. Occupational Therapists understand that we live, move and have our being in our day to day lives and support engagement and participation for all. Karena works with children, young people, their parents, families and caregivers to live, play, learn and work and to thrive in our natural settings of home and community.
Family Constellations: Family Constellations offers a unique approach to gain clarity and a new perspective for understanding the dynamic interplay of our relationships and our roles in life. Often, when problems arise again and again or an issue or situation remains stuck, we see that often transgenerational (war, famine, drought, bushfires, migration and exile etc.) and/or intergenerational personal and family events affecting us in the present. Karena brings an open heart and compassionate inquiry to her workshops, cafe circles and individual sessions for young people and adults. Issues that keep us longing for something better, recurring surprising or unhelpful family patterns, unresolved trauma, entanglements and enmeshments, financial, health or mental health difficulties can be addressed with this brief, experiential therapeutic approach. Together during individual sessions, group workshops or small group 'cafe' style circles we can gain awareness and insight for resolving current issues in our life. This can often have a ripple effect in our personal, family, relationship/friendships, work or wider community/world.
