Adults

I work with adults, parents, and caregivers. I support them to explore their emotions, strengths, and experiences through artmaking. With experience across diverse populations, I offer tailored interventions that meet individual needs. I foster a space of resilience, self-discovery, and growth.

Art therapy for adults is effective in addressing a broad spectrum of challenges. Including managing mental health conditions, coping with life transitions, and exploring personal identity. Art therapy can help adults to process trauma, improve emotional regulation, and enhance overall wellbeing.

Through creative expression, adults can gain insight into their thoughts and feelings, develop new coping mechanisms, and build a more fulfilling and authentic life. By creating a safe and supportive environment, I guide adults in their journey towards healing and personal development.

Session Information

The first session is an opportunity for us to review your intake paperwork and discuss your therapeutic goals. Together we will spend 50 minutes to explore what drew you to art therapy and how I can meet your therapeutic needs. This initial session may need to run longer if required.

Following this, sessions will be one-on-one and also last 50 minutes each, plus an extra 10 minutes for clean up included in your quote. Nectar Art Therapy offers a five-week block of weekly or fortnightly sessions. These sessions typically involve a blend of talking and engaging with hands-on creative activities. Through this creative process, we’ll explore feelings, share experiences, and work towards achieving therapeutic goals.

The initial five sessions typically focus on building a therapeutic relationship and gaining a deeper understanding of your strengths and needs. After five sessions, we will review your progress to decide if you want to continue for another block or work towards ending therapy. The decision to extend depends on your goals and needs.
