Makaela Nolan, Qualifications - BNurs Bachelor of Art Therapy (BAT) (She/her)Psychotherapist

Makaela works integratively across both creative and talk-based therapy. She primarily works with children and young people aged 8 through their 20s. While creative and expressive modalities are central to her practice, sessions are always guided by the individual needs, preferences, and readiness of each client. Makaela meets clients where they are and adjusts the pace and depth of work to support safety and regulation. Makaela is experienced in supporting young people navigating emotional regulation difficulties, self-harm, significant life transitions, and childhood trauma. She is particularly well-suited to clients who have struggled with traditional talk therapy, while also supporting those who prefer a more conversational therapeutic style. Above all, Makaela values authenticity, safety, creativity, trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming practice, and supporting clients to feel seen, supported, and understood.
