I was looking for a therapist near me to address my anxiety and depression. It’s been a long and tiring journey but the results have been amazing. I now feel like I better understand myself and have developed positive strategies to help me cope when things get rough.

I recommend arts therapy as it gives you a creative and safe space to sort out emotions and thoughts. For anyone who has ASD or PTSD it gives you an outlet to try and understand your brain and the world. It‘s a safe space where you can say anything and it can‘t be wrong.

My arts therapist has been foundational in my development and growth as a human being. Without any doubt, meeting them was a turning point in my life. Nobody really knows what impact arts therapy had on the world by seeing me now and how it will continue to ripple out into my life. No other words amount to anything that could express thankfulness for what I have received.

Rachel Taplin, Sensorium Art therap

I chose Nyrelle as my supervisor as I was starting my private practice and she has been such a huge support and influence in my development of a successful practice. Nyrelle was warm and supportive as well as practical and direct and is able to both hold space not only for personal and client issues that arise, but can also offer practical strategies and solutions based on a wealth of knowledge and experience that has helped grow my skills, knowledge, understanding and confidence as an arts therapist.

Testimonials

Fiona, 56, Werribee

I first came across art therapy as a therapeutic intervention to address my NDIS goals that centred around past trauma, increasing my ability to live independently and to improve my overall mental, emotional and physical health. Art therapy has helped me work towards these goals in far too many ways to list and has improved my mental health and life beyond all my initial expectations. Life is now good and change has occurred in so many unexpected ways and areas of my life that a multitude of different therapies over many decades was unable to achieve.

Testimonials

Georgia, 26, Tarneit

I first came across arts therapy after everything and nothing was really helping.
It has helped me with reconnecting with my body and environment, to feel safe physically and emotionally and it’s really helped me with learning new coping strategies and ways of interacting with myself and other people. I have learnt how to have much healthier and happier relationships and I have learnt how to communicate my needs and wants.

Natalie (for Evan, 10), Wyndham Vale

Through arts therapy my child was able to focus on social 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.

Testimonials

Crystal, 32, Werribee

Art therapy has given me the ability to focus and enjoy being creative. I can paint what I feel and gives me the permission to express how I feel in a safe and positive environment. This has been life changing for me and I am able to feel good about myself. I am also able to be present in my own body, which has not happened before. Sometimes it’s hard for me to speak, so doing art therapy has given me a voice.
