The point is not to make "artworks" but use the process of making to shine a light into the darkness.

I offer arts therapy and counselling sessions. I work with children and adults, groups and families.

We can talk, or do art, or a combination of both.

I am ACC registered and experienced in working with the impacts sexual abuse, which may include PTSD, anxiety and trauma.

What is Arts Therapy?

Arts Therapy uses creative processes, including art-making, drama, and movement to improve and enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It is suitable for all ages and many life situations, and can be done with individuals or groups. 

Arts Therapy works by accessing imagination and creativity, which can generate new models of living, and contribute towards the development of a more integrated sense of self, with increased self awareness and acceptance. It differs from traditional art-making or performance in that the emphasis is on the process of creating and meaning making, rather than the end product.

But I’m not good at art…

You don’t need artistic talent or special skills to benefit from Arts Therapy. Art making takes place from within.

Creative expression can lead to personal insight and emotional well being.
