Expressive arts therapy, eco therapy/nature healing, and a combination of both, available to children, adolescents, adults, and small groups.
Eco Art therapy is a gentle way to work on habitual patterns of thought and behaviour which are causing disharmony, to reduce anxiety levels, to attend to trauma, to build self-confidence/sense of agency, develop communication/emotional intelligence and social skills, and to learn new ways of regulating the nervous system.
At Innerbloom Art Therapy, we combine the arts and nature into psychotherapy (talk-therapy), offering opportunities to connect to the natural world, to develop self-awareness through exploration, expression, and growth.
Combining nature into the creative process, clients may explore new ways of considering different situations and gain new perspectives that help them to move forward into the future with a healthier self & world-view.
Within a nurturing therapeutic relationship, expressive arts offer a way to connect to the Self, and to communicate in ways which often cannot be put into words through visual art-making, sand-play, sculpting, ephemeral eco-art, drama, play-based, and movement modalities.
Trauma-informed, client-centred services are NDIS eligible for clients who are self or plan managed, where-by together we may develop a tailor-made therapeutic plan for individual sessions that attend to both plan and personal goals.
While I am not a registered NDIS provider at this stage, services are NDIS eligible for plans that are self-managed or managed by a support coordinator.
I also offer zoom sessions and can offer in-person sessions at an indoor location.
