Creative arts therapy uses all types of art-making, including drawing, collage, sound-making, movement, writing and more, as a way of exploring and understanding our inner and outer worlds.

A form of psychotherapy, creative arts therapy recognises that not everything can be expressed in words, and that the process of making can itself be healing and clarifying.

Sessions may involve making something, talking about what emerged, or simply noticing what came up in the process. We don’t worry about making ‘good’ art or showing others our work. The art simply becomes a tool for inquiry, not an end in itself.

Sessions vary, but typically we start with a check-in, then I’ll invite you to engage with some kind of art material or prompt, making or exploring for a while, then talking about what came up. You're always in control of how much you share and how deeply you go.

You can see a more detailed outline of a session on the how to begin page.

You’re not alone! Some people come to therapy feeling disconnected and often this impacts their sense of themselves as a playful, creative being.

You don't need any experience, skills, or confidence with art to benefit from creative arts therapy. Curiously, people who don’t consider themselves creative often find something freeing about making simple things with the arts - there’s no right way to make something and no standard to meet.

We work with whatever arises and part of our work can be rediscovering what it means to be ‘creative’ in gentle, supportive ways.

Online therapy delivers professional mental health support via secure video, phone or messaging, letting you connect with from home or wherever you feel comfortable.

Also known as telehealth, working online offers the same evidence-based approaches as face-to-face psychotherapy while increasing accessibility, privacy and scheduling flexibility.

Creative arts therapy is a clinical service focused on your emotional, psychological, and relational wellbeing. It is a form of psychotherapy using the arts to support the process of exploring our thinking, emotions and behaviours.

Psychosocial recovery coaching is a more practical, forward-looking support - helping you build skills, confidence, and capacity for everyday life.

Both are valuable, the right fit depends on what you're looking for.

If you're not sure, the curiosity call is a great place to figure it out together. Send us an email to make a booking.

This varies from person to person. Some people find one or two sessions is all they need. Others work with me over many months, or years.

If working together feels right for you, I typically suggest starting with three to four sessions and reviewing together from there, without any pressure to commit to more than you're ready for.

Our services are by appointment only and unfortunately we cannot offer crisis support.

If you’re drawn to creative expression, or you feel stuck, unseen, or overwhelmed, arts therapy may help you reconnect with what’s meaningful.

You can book a short curiosity call to explore whether it’s a good fit.

Creative arts therapy may be accessible through some NDIS self-managed plans.

If you're unsure about your eligibility, feel free to contact me or speak with your NDIS coordinator or plan manager.

Due to the virtual setting, I work mostly with adults seeking support with stress, burnout, anxiety, life transitions, and creative identity.

I have clinical experience working with children and can talk more about your needs if you have a child or young person needing support.

You can reach me anytime via our contact page or email.

I’ll reply as quickly as I can, usually within one business day, and set up a time for us to chat.
