Individual Creative Coaching
Are you stuck on a specific problem? Ready to finally be free?
It’s time to take action
Private, one on one sessions allow you to focus on exactly what you need to reach your goals. By setting aside the time to work with you personally, I can tailor art activities that are fun and effective for you.
I work with adults and adolescents. The creative coaching approach can be used for well-being and working towards your goals. I specialise in the following areas:
- Career direction, change, life goals
- Emotional intelligence, stress management, mindfulness
My process involves expressing, understanding and healing. Some people find they can move through these stages quickly. Others prefer to spend more time acknowledging their feelings and deeply understanding the situation until they are ready to change it. And others are satisfied with using art as a creative outlet and to move on afterwards.
At the same time as working on your specific challenge, I also teach that art can be used as a reflective practice. Building skills that you can use for yourself in the future.
Individual creative coaching sessions are available in person or online via video chat.
One on one creative coaching
Crayons, paints, clay… figurines for sand play. Let me know what you like to work with, I can help choose materials that match what you are trying to express, show you clearly what is going on and visualise what you are working towards.
Take your artworks home as a record of your insights from the session and display as a reminder of your new direction. All individual clients are given an art journal to keep artworks in, and to use between sessions as a creative outlet.
One or 1.5 hour sessions are available. Some people prefer a longer session to have the time to create art and reflect.
The best part about learning through art therapy is that YOU are the one answering questions for YOURSELF, not someone else telling you what you should do.
I enjoyed your calm, positive and non-judgemental approach.
Online creative coaching
Not everyone can access creative coaching in person. You may live outside of Perth, be based elsewhere for work (such as fly-in, fly-out), or have health reasons that make it difficult to travel. Through the magic of the internet, we can still do creative coaching sessions over distance using online video chat.
Telehealth has become increasingly popular since the Covid pandemic started, if you’re new to video chat it doesn’t take too long to get comfortable. Online creative coaching can be just as effective as sessions in person, with the added benefits of the privacy and comfort of your own home, using your favourite art materials.
I enjoyed being able to express what I was feeling through art, even though I am the very least artistically gifted being on the planet (and that includes animals, insects, birds, etc!).
I’d recommend it to people that are open to trying new things and exploring different ways to tackle a problem that they have ruminated on for long enough (or too long). It helps people to get past that “sticky” point and get beneath any unintentional mental blocks in the process.
I really enjoyed the whole process. Having had therapy in the past, I was surprised at how quickly drawing was able to open up some pretty deep patterns in my life. It felt like a fast track way of uncovering layers.
It’s an easy way to reveal what’s hidden in the subconscious immediately without having to talk about all the details of the issue. Able to obtain lots of insights from really simple expressions of art. No need for any art experience to get results. Really relaxed atmosphere and possibly easier to talk when relating it to a picture rather than the issue itself.
