I have been working as a Creative Arts Therapist for many years, and have been lecturing in Creative Arts Psychotherapy at the Ikon Institute in Brisbane for 8 years.
I have always loved horses and had an interest in Equine Assisted Therapy for many years and was excited to find and enrol in a course that commenced in South East Queensland. I completed my study with Equine Assisted Therapy Australia at Tallebudgera and integrate this modality with my Creative Arts Therapy and mental health qualifications to provide a holistic balance for healing and transformation.
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy is a unique approach to psychotherapy where clients are offered safe experiences with horses for the purpose of exploring new ways of connecting in relationship and building self-awareness and trust.
Creative Arts psychotherapy uses visual art-making (for example: collage, sculpture, masks and painting), drama, movement and music within a therapeutic relationship to explore and make sense of thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Both Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Creative Arts Psychotherapy are experiential forms of therapy that can help develop new neural pathways to facilitate behavioural and cognitive change. Together they create a powerful process to enable transformation.
Sessions are offered in either single modality or a combination of both.
sessions are held at Tamborine Village.
