A range of modalities and mediums may be implemented within individual art therapy sessions that have been tailored to the individual’s needs, goals, and desires. No experience or art “skills” are needed, the magic happens amidst the journey of creativity and expression, not within the end product. The creative process, whether that be visual, movement based, sand-tray, or with clay & other dimensional materials offers a form of non-verbal communication regarding things which may usually be hard to explore with words.

These NDIS and non-NDIS sessions may go for 1 to 1.5 hours and can take place in person at (location tbs) or online.

Talk therapy in nature allows for us to walk along side each other with the natural world as the “other” in this therapeutic dynamic. Becoming open and aware of the “other” in turn encourages us to go inward, and listen also to what’s happening internally. Deep change may transpire when we give space and time to step outside of our habitual ways of thinking and being, to form new ways of processing information and different perspectives.

These NDIS and non-NDIS eligible sessions ideally go for 1.5 hours, but 1 hour is ok too. Support workers are welcome where necessary/desired. We can also bring nature to sessions which happen indoors as an alternative.

All of the benefits of art making are enhanced through Eco-Art therapy interventions. We play with the synchronicity & metaphors that arise in nature, and engage in reciprocity through mindful creative exploration, expression, reflection, and new-found awareness. Walking on Country, listening, talking, and making art from natural materials fosters a sense of connectedness to our true Self, to each other, our natural world and each present moment of our lived experience.

These NDIS and non-NDIS eligible sessions ideally go for 1.5 hours, but 1 hour is ok too. Support workers are welcome where necessary/desired. We can also bring nature to sessions which happen indoors as an alternative.
