Welcome!
I’m Jody, a creative arts therapist based in Melbourne/Naarm.
I work with care-givers and creatives navigating the stresses of daily life and work, using the arts to make sense of the struggle. A healthy dose of curiosity is all you need to begin.
Arts-led psychotherapy might be for you if…
You find it hard to connect with your feelings through talking alone
Big changes at work or in your relationships are impacting your mental health and wellbeing
You're a creative person feeling stuck and not sure how to move forward
You give so much to others and forget to give back to yourself
You’re not sure why you struggle so much with the things other people find so easy
Sense in the making…
Making things. And making sense of things. It's one of the most lively human impulses there is - to scribble, to gather, to stitch, to express - especially when life feels too big or messy for words alone.
Sense in the Making offers arts-led therapy to help people explore different ways of being and knowing. We start with materials and listen to what emerges. A colour that ‘speaks’. An image that surprises you. A moment that connects.
If you've ever found it hard to find the words, or are simply drawn to a more embodied, creative way of understanding yourself, take a look at our therapeutic services or explore how to begin working with me.
