Traditional talking therapies are not for everyone and there is nothing wrong with that! Verbal expression of experiences can miss what is happening in the body which can leave therapy feeling not quite complete or resolved.

Art Therapy uses some verbal recounting but maintains a focus on creative process and bodily sensations to explore conscious and subconscious experiences resulting in an integrated experience of therapy.

If you are looking for an alternative type of therapy that takes the pressure off of verbalisation or are curious to see how creative processes can help you on your healing journey art therapy might be for you.

When you are ready the first step is to arrange a free 15 minute consultation where I talk you through art therapy, hear more about your current concerns and goals so we can see if our services are appropriate for you. This is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you have.

You are able to make appointments online via my bookings page or reach out to me directly and I can book you in.

The initial sessions are intentionally paced and relational. They are focused on getting to know you as a whole person, understanding your current circumstances, strengths, and needs, and creating a shared understanding of what has brought you to therapy. Together, we will begin to identify meaningful and achievable goals that feel aligned with where you are now and where you would like to move towards.

At the beginning of each session, we will take some time to gently check in on how things have been for you since our last appointment. This is an opportunity for you to share any changes, challenges, or reflections that have come up, as well as anything specific you would like to focus on during the creative portion of the session.

Throughout this process, the art-making serves as a supportive and flexible tool for exploration, expression, and insight, rather than something that needs to be “done well.”

The pace and structure of sessions are always guided by your comfort, readiness, and preferences, ensuring the work unfolds in a way that feels safe, collaborative, and respectful.

We are able to see clients that are self managed or plan managed through the NDIS and provide support through Improved Daily Living, Capacity Building, Therapeutic Supports or Counselling. We bill under the code:

Assessment recommendation or therapy or training - Counsellor 15_043_0128_1_3.

Our fees for NDIS clients also sit under the maximum amount chargeable per session helping to generate more accessibility for clients.

Concession rates are also available for those experiencing financial hardship.

Absolutely not! Children and teenagers can also benefit from the expressive therapies to help them resolve and overcome any obstacles that may be present in their lives. Please note that appointments for children are only available in person.

We believe in upfront and transparent communication surrounding access to Art Therapy.

In person appointments

Standard appointments are $130/per hour.

Online appointments

For those in the community that are navigating financial hardship We do offer a sliding scale and this will be discussed before we book your appointment to avoid any stress.

This stems from our belief that finances shouldn't hold someone back who is ready to begin the inner work and ensures no one misses out.

Unfortunately I do not offer home visits, however I do offer zoom sessions for adults.

For online sessions you will need to provide art materials and usually what people already have in the home is enough to accommodate our work together.
For in person sessions you do not need to bring any art supplies with you as I provide this.
However if there is something that helps you or your child with your anxiety such as fidget toys or plush toys you’re more than welcome to bring those to your sessions.

If you cancel your appointment within 24 hours a cancellation fee of half of your session cost will be invoiced to you and this helps cover loss of income.
