Hi, I’m Kiki (she/her), a professionally registered Art Therapist offering Art Therapy for all ages.
Art Therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapy using creative methods to enhance wellbeing. Its non-verbal characteristics make the psychotherapy intervention accessible, affirming, and empowering. In my work I always aim to uphold trauma-informed and strengths-based practice in my practice informed by an intersectional and neuro-affirming lens.

Art Therapy and psychotherapy are great tools to express what's going on for you, understand and make sense of your experiences, manage stress and focus on your wellbeing.
I provide a safe, confidential space for you to explore yourself and what's important to you. I have worked in aged care, disability, and mental health. I'm a deep listener and caring. My approach is non-judgement, and with empathy and support will sit with you. I also come with lived experience of distress and recovery.

'We are all unique pieces of art in the making'.
Gestalt therapy is a form of psychotherapy that emphasises personal responsibility, focuses upon the individual's experience in the here and now, the therapist-client relationship, the environmental and social contexts of a person's life, and the self-regulating adjustments people make a result. I may use art materials and movement to support the process.

My work integrates an intermodal approach to the therapeutic encounter, navigating between talk therapy, visual art-making, dance/movement, somatic inquiry, creative writing, drama, and play.
I am a qualified creative arts therapist registered with PACFA, passionate about finding creative ways of expression, embodiment, and harnessing the power of metaphors to navigate complex personal material. As an arts psychotherapist, I adopt a humanistic, strength-based, and phenomenological approach, working collaboratively with clients to explore a "more-than-verbal" approach to therapy.
