Referrals to Enso Art Therapy

When art therapy may be considered

Art therapy may be one option to consider for a client who:

• finds direct verbal communication difficult
• engages naturally through sensory or creative experiences
• experiences anxiety or emotional dysregulation
• is neurodivergent
• is navigating social or school-related difficulties
• has experienced change, grief or trauma
• may benefit from another therapeutic modality alongside existing supports

Art therapy is not suitable for every client or presentation, and suitability is considered individually.

The therapeutic approach

My Open Studio-informed approach combines meaningful choice in creative materials with an active therapeutic relationship. Sessions can move between art-making, observation, conversation and reflection. Artwork is not decoded or interpreted through predetermined meanings.

Working collaboratively

With appropriate consent, I am happy to communicate with referring and treating professionals when this supports coordinated care.

This can include collaboration with:

• developmental paediatricians
• paediatricians
• psychologists
• psychiatrists
• occupational therapists
• speech pathologists
• assessment clinicians
• schools and wellbeing teams
• NDIS support professionals
• GPs
• other allied-health professionals

NDIS

Enso Art Therapy is not an NDIS Registered Provider. Sessions can be accessed by self-managed and plan-managed participants, commonly under Capacity Building, Improved Daily Living, where art therapy is consistent with the participant's plan and goals. See the NDIS page for details.
