FAQs

Creative Arts Therapy offers a way to explore what words can’t always express. Using art, movement, sound, and imagery, we access deeper layers of your experience in a gentle, paced way. You don’t need to be ‘creative’ or have any artistic skill. This work is about expression over perfection, and finding insight, relief, and meaning through the creative process.
Somatic therapy invites you to tune into the wisdom of your body. Rather than focusing only on thoughts or stories, we explore sensations, emotions, and patterns held in the body. This can bring deep relief, clarity, and grounding. I often draw from Hakomi Therapy — a mindfulness-based somatic approach that gently uncovers core beliefs and helps shift long-held patterns with compassion and care.

You do not need to have any prior experience in making art or be an artist to benefit from these sessions. In fact, art therapy is specifically designed to be accessible to individuals of all skill levels, regardless of their artistic abilities.
It focuses on the process of creation rather than the final product, placing emphasis on the therapeutic benefits that arise from engaging in the art-making process. So, whether you consider yourself an artist or have never picked up a paintbrush before, therapeutic art-making can be a valuable and transformative experience.

Sessions are offered in Melbourne (Preston) or online via video call.
If joining remotely, please ensure you’re in a quiet, private space where you can feel comfortable and undisturbed.
“Art is a sanctuary of the mind, a place where healing can unfold and hope can blossom.”
