creative arts therapy

Sometimes our hands know things long before our words do.

Creative Arts Therapy offers a way of listening to what emerges through making. It engages the pre-verbal and post-verbal parts of us, inviting expression through clay, paint, movement, stories, sound, or simple marks on a page. It can be especially helpful for those who are quite good with words but sometimes feel exhausted by them at the same time.

I still find Creative Arts Therapy difficult to explain because it asks less of our understanding and more of our willingness to feel, notice, and become curious. Sometimes clarity arrives not through thinking harder, but through making and experiencing.

I’m a registered Creative Arts Therapist and Counsellor with ANZACATA and PACFA. This work is a big part of who I am, though the way I practise continues to emerge.

I suspect it always will.
