                                                                I am a Transpersonal Art Therapist who uses many types of art experiences to enable an individual to unlock their potential, access their resilience and explore what is important in their lives. I hold an Advanced Diploma of Transpersonal Art Therapy and am a member of AAHTC. I currently facilitate groups at RSL LifeCare working in an aged care environment. I volunteer on a one to one basis at Royal Rehab which specialises in acquired brain injury.

                                                                I have facilitated workshops for those suffering dementia, people who would like to know themselves more deeply and others with mental health issues. Art therapy is a powerful tool to use in an individual situation or with groups. It allows an expression of thoughts that may not have reached the verbal level to be communicated through creating art. It is a therapy that can be used in various ways to allow an emotion to be discovered, explored and transmuted where needed. I personally use and study transpersonal art therapy in my day to day life.
