A space to experience
the creative process

Art therapy is a mental health profession that utilises art materials to express and communicate feelings in a safe and confidential space.
The focus is on the process of creation, rather than the outcome, therefore experience with art making is not necessary.
Art therapy is for... everyone.
My psychodynamic practice enables me to offer effective individual and group art psychotherapy to provide a neutral ground for insight, awareness and personal growth.
I journey with my clients to guide self awareness and insight, forming a therapeutic alliance between client, artwork and therapist.
There are many ways to utilise creativity to express emotions that are sometimes difficult to acknowledge or verbalise. Engaging in creative expression aids in development of self-regulation, encouraging insight and awareness.
Art therapy helps create meaning, develop new perspectives, and
build resilience.

The workshops offer an experience of specific materials and techniques and aim to provide an introduction to exploring different art mediums.
Clay, collage, image transfer, visual journaling and mandala's are just some of the things that can be discovered, igniting meaningful creativity.
Workshops are between 2-3 hours in duration.
One to one sessions are 60-90mins in duration and involve a dedicated space for you to explore a wide range of mediums with the art therapist.
An initial assessment will provide the basis for the direction of the sessions.
A minimum 6 session commitment is recommended.
Art therapy in a group setting helps to foster social connections in an inclusive atmosphere, building community and instilling a sense of hope.
A range of group courses are offered throughout the year, including visual journaling, stitching and working with and within nature.
Courses typically range from 4-8 sessions of 2 hours duration.
