As a clinical arts therapist (AThR) working with adolescents and adults I offer an alternative to talk therapy and counselling. When we can’t find the words to talk about our concerns, arts therapy provides an alternative pathway to discover what is troubling us. Being "good at art" is not important in arts therapy. For people with trauma histories our sessions will also focus on nervous system regulation and how to manage states of fight, flight, freeze and fawn. Engaging with creative processes invites presence and helps reduce nervous system dysregulation. I will work with you to build new neural pathways that dismantle triggers.
Arts therapists may offer a variety of approaches such as art, movement, drama, writing, poetry, and sandplay. I work mostly with art materials but we are not limited to this. I am a professional member of the Australian New Zealand Asian Creative Arts Therapy Association and approved to provide services to I Am Hope, Victim Support, and Oranga Tamariki.
