Victoria Art Therapy

Welcome to Victoria Art Therapy, located at 7 Grange Boulevard in Bundoora, Australia. As an establishment focused on health and well-being, we offer a range of art therapy services, workshops, professional development opportunities, and school programs.

Art therapy is a powerful and scientifically supported method of non-verbal expression that promotes insight into trauma and enhances physical, mental, and emotional well-being. At Victoria Art Therapy, we combine a person-centered "humanistic philosophy" with a phenomenological approach, integrating clients' unique thinking patterns and experiences with unconscious processes through psychodynamic art therapy and mindfulness techniques.

When you choose our creative arts therapy programs, you can expect a client-centric and tailored experience that incorporates trauma-informed practices. Our framework is based on responsiveness to and understanding of trauma, prioritizing emotional, psychological, and physical safety. By using a strength-based approach, we help clients regain control over their thoughts and lives.

In our art therapy program, we incorporate positive art therapy techniques, combining art with psychological tools to promote client engagement and emotional well-being. These creative modalities help align perceptions, add meaning and purpose, and increase motivation.

We also offer acceptance and commitment art therapy, which encourages free creativity and provides safe and non-judgmental opportunities for clients to experience, acknowledge, and understand unpleasant emotions and memories. This approach fosters a cycle of growth and learning.

At Victoria Art Therapy, we also focus on narrative art therapy, helping clients externalize their internal thoughts and feelings through visualization, storytelling, or written stories. The goal is to integrate non-verbal right-brain memories with the more verbal left hemisphere, leading to greater narrative clarity and understanding.

Our team of trained and experienced art therapists in Melbourne collaborate with clients, recognizing them as experts on their own condition and situation. We plan and provide art therapy sessions with compassion, respect, and dignity, ensuring that each individual's unique needs are met.

Whether you are seeking personal healing, professional development, or school programs, Victoria Art Therapy is here to support you on your journey towards improved well-being. Contact us today to learn more about how art therapy can benefit you.
