Services
Art Therapy
Art Therapy uses creative expression to address emotional challenges without requiring verbal communication. Our Melbourne-based sessions help clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and neurodiversity through guided drawing, clay work, and sensory activities. Therapists combine trauma-informed practices with Medicare-rebated sessions for adults and children, fostering self-discovery and emotional regulation in a supportive environment.
Counselling
Counselling services address life challenges including relationship breakdowns, grief, and mental health conditions. Accredited professionals use cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness, and creative tools to build coping skills. Medicare rebates apply for eligible clients with a Mental Health Care Plan, while NDIS participants receive capacity-building support tailored to individual goals.
School Holiday Program
School Holiday Programs offer screen-free creative activities for children in Grades 3-6 and high school students. Held at our Preston clinic, these two-hour sessions use painting, collage, and storytelling to develop emotional regulation and confidence. Each $50 session includes materials and is led by experienced creative therapists focused on fostering social connections and self-expression.
Creative Wellbeing for Business
Creative Wellbeing for Business delivers customised mindfulness sessions to reduce workplace stress. Programs use art-based activities to improve team cohesion, emotional resilience, and self-esteem. Tailored solutions include in-house workshops and online training, helping organisations implement trauma-informed practices and positive psychology principles to enhance productivity and staff wellbeing.
Professional Supervision
Professional Supervision supports social workers, counsellors, and allied health professionals through ethical guidance and skill development. Sessions address complex cases, burnout prevention, and NDIS compliance while maintaining Australian Association of Social Workers standards. Flexible ad hoc options ensure practitioners receive timely support for personal and professional growth.
