1:1 Creative play and Arts therapy for kids

We use creative arts therapy to help kids improve their ability to learn and process information. They learn how to manage and express their feelings in a healthy way, which leads to better relationships with their family, peers, and social groups. Our program increases their self-awareness and builds their confidence and self-esteem.

We help kids experiencing anxiety, stress, and with autism or ADHD, or who are lashing out in anger. We work with children who have experienced trauma and violence. We help kids develop their ability to understand their emotions and the ways in which they communicate. This includes not just how they express themselves, but the way in which they receive and process all communication.

We’re a registered NDIS provider. If your child has an NDIS plan, we can tailor a 1:1 individual program to help them improve their mental health and wellbeing.

1:1 Arts therapy for teenagers

Through arts therapies, teenagers experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression can improve their ability to learn and process information. They learn how to regulate their emotions, which can lead to improved relationships with their family and peers. We use the creative arts to help teens express their feelings and experiences so they can better understand and adjust their behaviours towards themselves and others. This leads to improved confidence, mental health and wellbeing.

For teens who have experienced trauma and violence, they might find it difficult to express their feelings through talk-based therapy. Creative arts therapies give them the chance to communicate through the arts and creativity. As a result, their confidence, self-awareness, and emotional expression increases.

We offer 1:1 individual arts therapy for teenagers aged 13 to 17. The focus of each session is on creating a project or self-expression through art.

We’re a registered NDIS provider. If your teen has an NDIS plan, arts therapy meets NDIS goals for capacity building and skill development.

1:1 Arts therapy for adults

Some people find talk-based therapy difficult, especially when therapy centres around a traumatic or violent experience. The arts provide us with an easier and more accessible way to express how we’re feeling. Our expression supports how we think, understand and process information. It helps us develop healthier behaviours in the relationships we have with ourselves and others.

Communicating through the creative arts leads to a release of positive hormones, which help us feel better about ourselves and our situation. Creative arts therapy improves our mental health and wellbeing.

We offer 1:1 individual arts therapy sessions for adults with a current NDIS plan. Our arts therapy sessions focus on your NDIS goals.

Testimonials

“After several sessions with Nyrelle I could see that my daughter’s confidence had grown. She was beginning to talk to me and tell me how she was feeling without lashing out, and she seemed more settled in herself and her emotions, at home and at school.”

– Angela 42, Belmont

Testimonials

Through arts therapy, Jess focused on social engagement with my child and I noticed how much he has improved from being the little boy who always played on his own or just followed his peers around, into the well adjusted more confident child he is now. Art Therapy has helped immensely in many ways. To see his excitement and eagerness in each session is so wonderful as a proud parent to see. Thank you so much, Jess. You have so much patience and understanding for him.
