Creative Art therapy benefits
Creative Art therapy is a powerful tool for improving mental health, according to the American Psychiatric Association (2024). By engaging the mind, body, and spirit in unique ways that differ from verbal communication, art therapy can help reduce conflicts and distress, enhance cognitive functions, boost self-esteem, and develop emotional resilience and social skills. If you're looking for a way to improve your mental health and well-being, consider giving art therapy a go.
Common Art Therapy treatments
Arts therapists provide therapeutic interventions using the visual arts, including drawing, painting, sculpture, sand and play for mental health diagnoses, wellbeing, early intervention and developmental disorders (Allied Health Professions Australia, 2024).

Clay Field Therapy - See below
Clay Field Therapy for helping trauma that affects our nervous system.
One-on-one and group therapy experiences
What does Clay Feild help with?
"Work at the Clay Field involves an intense tactile experience – it can link us to a primordial mode of communication, to a preverbal stage in our life. This is the truly beneficial quality of clay in a therapeutic context. Its regressive qualities will allow a therapist to address early attachment issues, developmental setbacks and traumatic events in a primarily non-verbal way, contained in the safety of the setting" Elbercht, C. 2019 (Institute for Sensory Motor Art Therapy
Who is Clay Field Therapy good for?
The Clay Field is a safe modality to use for treating various conditions and transforms people with coping with past issues of attachment and trauma and development issues and creates a renewed sense of self and coping mechanisms.
Working with adults and children. Contrary to popular belief, trauma can be healed. Not only can it be healed, but in many ways cases it can be healed without long hours of therapy, without the painful reliving of memories and without continuing reliance on medication. Old trauma symptoms are examples of bound-up energy and lost lessons, we learn how to be present, every moment becomes new and creative (Levine 1997); Corneila Elbrecht 2013 p 323 Trauma Healing at the Clay Field.

CBT vs ACT Therapy
"CBT helps you to challenge and overcome automatic beliefs, and use practical strategies to change or modify your behaviour. The result is more positive feelings, which in turn lead to more positive thoughts and behaviours." (Better Health Victorian Government, 2024)
ACT therapy is values oriented encouraging participants to look at their own values and apply mindfulness and acceptance skills to personal responses to uncontrollable expereinces (Australian Family Physicial Journal 2012).
How can you prepare for CBT and ACT?
Be prepared to do some self-care. Keep a journal and do the homework tasks asked of you by the therapist. This is a highly personalised counselling session that can sometimes challenge you as you will be asked to regularly practice the exercises as prescribed.
What else can help?
Being prepared to change and challenge your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Family Constellations Therapy
Trans- Generational Trauma Therapy
What is Family Constellations Therapy?
• A way of observing dilemmas from the perspective of the person’s relational position • Facilitates altered awareness to arise as it is viewed through a broader lens of the family system, ancestry, and culture.•Observes predicaments and the achievable resolutions in the same process • Employs our capability to make sense and re-make beneficial meaning in converting the manner we encounter, decipher, and react to the others in our existence. •Enables the liberation of the unconscious psyche, suppressed feelings, and trauma.•Facilitates an alternate assessment to arise through a wider lens of the family system, generations, and culture. • A realistic, phenomenological, resolution-aimed, and short course that can be presented in workshop format or one-on-one sessions. The process may be seen as psychodynamic,energetic and psychospiritual.
