Melinda Jane Art Therapy

Melinda offers 1:1 art therapy sessions and small group workshops for children, young people and adults which support the exploration of our human potential, woven with the nurturing of an ecological consciousness that honours our mutual belonging within the web of life and the opportunity of a broad exploration of our lived experience. Art therapy is a holistic, healing modality that supports emotional, psychological, physical + spiritual wellbeing through the language of art making and creative expression. Melinda’s expertise as an art therapist emerges from over 25 years as a visual artist and Arts educator, and she is a strong advocate for trauma-informed and culturally responsive practice. She has a master’s degree in art therapy and is a registered art therapist with ANZACATA, the peak professional body representing creative arts therapists in Australia, New Zealand and the Asia/Pacific region.
Her own love of being in the natural world, of finding connection to the animate other-than-human world, through walking, contemplative practice, somatic movement, and her own professional art practice, is woven through the work she undertakes as a creative arts therapist.
Available in Castlemaine, Kyneton and Bendigo regions.
