What is Transpersonal Art Therapy?
"It is not necessary to be artistic in any way "
Transpersonal Art Therapy enables an exploration of our unconscious thinking, through imagery and art activities, enhancing self-expression through unspoken words.
We seek our emotions behind and within images or art works we create.
It's all in the process of your work not the end product you see.
Transpersonal Art Therapy includes a holistic mindful exploration about you.
Exploring the unconscious mind, noticing what comes up for you during your art therapy processes and imagery
Listening to your story, supporting you with a client centered approach, enhancing your strengths helps you and your family. A range of art processes are offered, while being empathetic and mindful to your needs.
The art includes collage, drawing, pencil/crayon designs, painting, sculpture with clay, focusing on images, Djembe Drumming (African Drums),movement or meditation.
You will learn more about yourself and develop strategies to enhance wellbeing to face life’s challenges.

My passion is listening to and supporting people. Giving is one of my key strengths. My other passions include writing, in which I am an author of children's stories relating to mindfulness. It is important for me to embrace time for family, crafts, gardening, walking, and volunteering. My volunteer work includes helping at Coast Shelter, running a Womens Art group and cooking in the kitchen. I support and value the NSW Ambulance paramedics and their need for mental health support, including donating to Amnesty International focusing on human rights and the cancer foundation.
I believe if a person needs to explore different areas in their life, seeking support, needing to learn more about themselves, the interventions of different professionals can often help. Transpersonal Art Therapy Sessions can help clients build on their strengths, support difficult circumstances such as anxiety, social anxiety, depression, trauma & grief including domestic violence.
