Testimonials

My arts therapist at Wyndham Arts Therapies 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.
-Fiona, 32, Ballarat

Testimonials

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.
-Fiona, 56, Werribee

Testimonials

I would highly recommend art therapy as a way of dealing with past trauma, emotional and mental health issues and in particular Wyndham art therapies for their excellent and professional services.
-Jane, 62, West Meadows

Testimonials

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.
