Art Therapy

Art Therapy at The Kidd Clinic uses creative mediums and expression to explore our thoughts, feelings, and lived experience. The emphasis of art therapy is less about talking through problems, and instead visually exploring the client’s experiences through the medium of their choice.

Creative expression can entail any modality you are comfortable with or curious about exploring, such as painting, drawing, clay, or even creative writing. The art therapy process helps us make sense of our inner world. In turn, we develop greater self-awareness, problem-solving skills and healthier coping mechanisms.

No artistic skill is required for art therapy and is applicable for all ages, particularly for individuals who have a creative interest and struggle to verbalise their thoughts and feelings.  A session runs for 45-50 minutes to allow time to transition out of the space, clean up and note taking.  All materials are provided and sessions are facilitated by a registered Art Therapist.  Sessions can also be funded through the NDIS if self or plan managed.
