Connect With Your “Inner Me”

A Creative Alternative To Traditional Counseling

Unlike traditional mental health services, art therapy uses non-verbal expression to attend to emotional, physical and cognitive wellbeing.

Previous art experience is not necessary to gain the benefits of self expression. We all have the innate ability to create, grow and heal.

Why Art Therapy?

 FAQs

  • Yes. We welcome private clients, referrals, NDIS participants and funded programs from local schools or organizations including Legacy Gold Coast.

    Art Therapy benefits all age groups:

    Children

    Creativity in children is a natural and essential aspect of their development. It refers to their ability to think, imagine, and express themselves, giving voice and being heard. Play through creativity helps children process their lived experiences and relationships, build self-esteem and allows for playfulness and imagination to thrive.

    Adolescence

    Art Therapy allows adolescents to explore different aspects of their identity and sense of belonging. To gain a sense of their being, belonging and becoming during this transition to adulthood, non-verbal expression provides pathways to explore and communicate ideas and values, and express one’s own unique perspectives, contributing to a secure sense of self.

    Adults

    Creativity and playfulness can be nurtured, developed, and enhanced through practice, learning, and exposure to different experiences and influences.

    Sensory awareness during the creative process connects the linear, analytical brain with the emotional brain as well as the body, promoting a whole sense of self.

    Art Therapy allows adults to view problems from different angles and perspectives. A shift in perspective provides the opportunity for growth and healing.
