ART THERAPY GROUPS

Groups at the Melbourne Art Therapy Studio allow people to explore issues relevant to their personal development and process of change with the support and guidance of a fully qualified, registered, experienced art therapist. We have been regularly running groups in our beautiful studio for 18 years, and many people keep returning.

Do you want the opportunity to join an art group that nurtures your creativity?  Maybe you'd like to make changes in your life, or are recovering from an illness or event. Or, do you just want to spend time making art  and getting to know and like yourself a little better with like minded people in a beautiful and inspirational space?

​

Art Therapy groups and workshops at the Melbourne Art Therapy Studio provide a safe space for you to explore themes that are important to you. You will have the opportunity to use a variety of art materials throughout the sessions to explore, play, discover and delight in the process. You don't have to share your experience with the group if you choose not to, but the opportunity to discuss ideas and thoughts with others is available.
