	Psychotherapist Counsellor	ABN 35 536 701 727



	I am an art therapist. Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy where people can use a variety of art media (drawing, painting, collage, clay, writing etc) to explore both verbally and non-verbally our issues, emotions and thoughts. Emotions are often beyond words. So are our energies, dreams, imagination and fantasies. They often can teach us lots of things about ourselves when we visualize them. Expressive arts can take you somewhere very sacred within you. To assist the process is my passion.
