About me

My practice
Hello, I’m Christina — a qualified Art Therapist registered with PACFA and ANZACATA. With the priveledge to be living on the beautiful lands of Bundjalung country, NSW.
I’m offering one-to-one Art Therapy sessions for children, teens, and adults, based in Lismore at Create Therapy, as well as online sessions. Art therapy offers a gentle yet powerful way to explore thoughts and feelings through creativity. Unlike talk therapy alone, art therapy works with both the conscious and subconscious mind. Sometimes we don’t have words for what we’re carrying, but it always finds its way into colour, shape, movement, and image. From here, insight, healing, and connection can emerge. You don’t need to be “good at art” or feel creative - as art therapy isn’t an art class as all. It uses art-making to communicate suppressed thoughts, reduce anxiety, and improve mental wellbeing under the guidance of a trained professional. It’s a space to be deeply witnessed, to understand yourself more fully, to explore challenges from new angles, and to reconnect with your inner strengths.
