Alexandra Mowat

Registered Art Therapist

(Maternity Leave)

I am a Registered Art Therapist with The Australian, New Zealand and Asian Creative Arts Therapies Association (ANZACATA) and completed my Masters of Art Therapy at Western Sydney University in 2019. I have been working with neurodiverse children and adolescents for over two years and I am passionate about providing a safe, creative and non-directive space for a person to explore their conscious and unconscious feelings.

My experience with neurodiversity, eating disorders and complex trauma has allowed me to further my interest and understanding in these areas. I use a range of art-making processes including painting, clay modelling and sand play therapy in my sessions. I am always experimenting with different artworks which allows me to remain empathetic with my clients.

Outside of my role, I try to exercise as much self-care as possible by immersing myself in activities such as a new video game, getting out for walks and spending time with my family. My current art-making interests are in ceramics and I aspire one day to bring a pottery wheel into my sessions. My other interests are trialling new recipes in my kitchen, keeping my houseplants alive and taking my French Bulldog Odette to the beach.
