Pat

Art Therapist, MATh, AThR, Mindfulness Facilitator

I am an Art Therapist based in South Western Sydney—in the lands of the Darug Nation. I am passionate about helping others, and believe in the wisdom that comes from interconnection. I have been through my own struggles with mental health, and through that journey did I discover the power of art and creativity for healing. Art has always been my way of self expression, and has been a strategy for self regulation, reflection, and finding inner balance.

I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds, helping others to use creativity to understand themselves, express their feelings, and find wholeness. I am also a trained mindfulness facilitator and life long practicioner of yoga. I am open to integrating these practices into sessions if wanted.

I believe in, and deeply value holding space for others to explore their feelings and express themselves in their own unique way, honing the ability within all of us to reconnect with our inner worlds, to find inner strength, and healing.

I come from a CALD background, and identify as part of the LGBTQI+ community. I acknowledge and pay my respects to the traditional custodians of country throughout Australia especially those of the Cabrogal Clan in which I dwell.
