Careena Cook
Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy
Working With Careena
I started Central Spark Psychotherapy in 2013 after completing my Master’s degree, following several years in mental health and counselling roles across a wide range of settings.
My approach is experiential and relational, and continues to evolve through ongoing professional development, personal therapy, lived experience, and collaboration with supervisors and mentors.
My work is integrative and draws on several areas of theory and practice, including Gestalt Therapy, Depth Enquiry, mindfulness and EMDR.
I have a strong interest in the intersection of culture and mental health and other thought areas that continue to keep my practice current, responsive, and evolving.
