Individual Arts Therapy Sessions:

In-Person & Online Support Tailored to You

Sometimes words aren’t enough, or aren’t possible. Arts therapy offers a gentler, way to explore what’s beneath the surface. Whether you’re navigating grief, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or simply seeking deeper self-understanding, individual sessions provide a safe and supportive space to reconnect with yourself through creative expression.

With the guidance of a qualified arts therapist, you’ll be invited to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences through a combination of art-making and reflective dialogue. You don’t need to be “good at art”—the process, not the product, is what matters.

Each session is tailored to your unique needs and may support:

  • Processing overwhelming emotions

  • Exploring identity and life changes

  • Building coping strategies and self-compassion

  • Reconnecting with your body, mind, or soul through sensory and creative modalities

  • Making meaning from personal experiences

I offer both in-person sessions on the Central Coast, NSW, and online sessions for those who prefer or need to access therapy from the comfort of their own space.

Session details:

  • Duration: 60 - 90 minutes

  • Format: In-person or online via secure video

  • Who it's for: All ages; adults, adolescence, children

  • Availability: Please reach out for current availability

If you're looking for a creative and compassionate way to explore what’s going on inside, I’d be honoured to support you.

Retreats & Group Workshops

Arts therapy workshops and retreat experiences designed to support reflection, connection, and personal growth through creative practice.

These offerings create a safe, structured space where participants can slow down, tune in, and explore their inner world using accessible art-based processes. No prior art experience is needed. The focus is on the process, not the finished artwork.

What to Expect:

  • Professionally facilitated arts therapy sessions

  • Trauma‑informed, person‑centred, and culturally safe approach

  • Guided creative directives using materials such as drawing, painting, movement, writing, and sensory-based artmaking

  • Clear structure and gentle containment to support emotional safety

  • Individual reflection alongside optional group sharing

Workshops may stand alone or form part of a longer retreat experience. Each session is thoughtfully paced and responsive to the needs of the group.

These groups are suitable for:

  • Adults seeking space for reflection, creativity, and self-understanding

  • Women’s groups and community organisations

  • Retreat participants wanting a grounded, therapeutic creative experience

  • Services supporting mental health, wellbeing, recovery, or life transitions

Sessions are adapted to the context and population, with care taken to meet participants where they are.

Retreat Collaboration:

I collaborate with retreat facilitators, organisations, and community spaces to design and deliver expressive arts therapy workshops that complement retreat themes such as:

  • Reflection and integration

  • Life transitions and identity

  • Nervous system regulation and self-care

  • Grief, loss, and meaning-making

  • Creativity as a resource for wellbeing

Workshops can range from short introductory sessions to extended, in-depth experiences across a retreat.

Community Art For Wellbeing:

Creative Journaling Groups

A space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect—one page at a time.

Our Creative Journaling Groups are a gentle invitation to explore your inner world through words, images, and creative expression. These sessions are not about perfect handwriting or polished artwork, they’re about showing up authentically and using the page as a mirror, a container, and a canvas for what you’re feeling, noticing, or needing.

Throughout each session we explore themes like identity, self-compassion, emotion, boundaries, and growth through a multimodal approach to journaling. Using writing, drawing, collage, colour, and movement, you'll be guided to access your own wisdom and insight in a supportive, small-group setting.

Each session offers:

  • A grounding creative prompt and guided journaling activity

  • Time for personal reflection and optional group sharing

  • A mix of writing, visual arts, and mindfulness-based practices

  • A trauma-informed and non-judgmental space for connection and expression

You do not need any prior experience with journaling or art. This group is for anyone wanting to build deeper self-awareness, creativity, and connection in their lives.

When: Tuesdays 6:00–7:30pm (starting 22nd July)
Where: Theia Studios, 4/36 Railway Street, Woy Woy
Duration: 90-minute sessions over 10 weeks
Who it's for: Adults seeking personal insight, emotional regulation, and community connection
