Mr Rob Gray
Psychologist, Art Therapist

In Person + Online Therapy Australia-wide
Philosophy & Vision
Art therapy, counselling and psychotherapy are all about change. People come for help because they feel there is something preventing them from living a fulfilling life, or it may be that they are in a situation that is difficult for them to cope with. Robert often uses pictures, drawings and other creative expressions as part of his approach. By using art therapy unconscious material can surface. It is like diving to the bottom of an iceberg instead of exploring the tip that is visible.
Background
Robert is the founder and director of the College for Educational and Clinical Art Therapy. Trained overseas, his studies are based on a psycho-dynamic, humanistic, spiritual and cognitive behavioural framework and he is often invited to present at conferences both in Australia and overseas.

Therapy Approach
No art skills required! Art therapy is not about creating works of art but giving you another means of expressing yourself. Using a live video set up enables the art therapist to work with your pictures online. After the online session is finished, you may be asked to do a drawing in your own time and review it in your next session. This will give you time to complete your picture at your own pace.
