NDIS Art Therapy

Under the NDIS, art therapy is provided as an allied health service like physiotherapy, OT, or speech therapy.

How an art therapy session works.

Liz will guide you to express yourself using things like: painting, drawing, clay, writing, movement, sound, storytelling, puppetry etc.

You will have the opportunity to explore the things that matter to you and to choose the ways you express yourself.

You do not need any experience as an artist, and you will not be judged on your art making.

Liz creates a safe space for you to explore different art modalities, and guides you to creatively represent feelings, emotions, relationships and ways of being.

An art therapy session may assist you to explore and develop:

  • Self-expression through making art

  • Creativity for self-awareness and problem solving

  • Mindfulness and self-care practices

  • Communication skills for relating to others

  • Expressing needs and boundaries

  • Strategies and skills for dealing with stress, anxiety, physical and mental health challenges 

  • Working towards personal and life goals

Art therapy can also be fun and playful.
