Lilly Pilly Art Therapy, Play Therapy & Counselling

Welcome to Lilly Pilly Art Therapy, Play Therapy & Counselling, a therapeutic service located in Mill Park, Australia. Inspired by the resilience of the native Lilly Pilly plant, which thrives after bushfires, our institution offers a unique and effective approach to wellbeing for children, teens, young adults, and families of all needs.

At Lilly Pilly, we specialize in art therapy and Synergetic Play Therapy® to address a range of issues including depression, anxiety, school disengagement, medical trauma and illness, challenges with neurodiversity including ASD & ADHD, disability, social development, and post-traumatic growth. We believe in the power of creativity and playfulness to promote healing and growth.

Art therapy, also known as creative arts therapy, utilizes the power of creative processes within a therapeutic relationship to support healing, change, and growth. Through art-making, individuals can express thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to put into words. The focus is on the process rather than the final artwork, providing insight, growth, self-awareness, and relief from overwhelming experiences.

Synergetic Play Therapy® combines playfulness with an understanding of the impact of stress on the nervous system, interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, mindfulness, and regulation. The goal is to build authenticity and resilience by increasing individuals' capacity to cope with stress at any age.

Georgie, our highly experienced therapist, is a masters qualified art therapist and certified Synergetic Play Therapist® with almost 10 years of industry-based experience, study, and professional development. She combines trauma-informed psychotherapeutic techniques with her expertise in the neurobiology of trauma, childhood development, stress and nervous system reactivity, somatic mindfulness, attunement and attachment, and the importance of authenticity.

Lilly Pilly Art Therapy, Play Therapy & Counselling offers services for children, teenagers, and adults of all ages. We believe that creativity and playfulness have no age limit when it comes to personal growth and healing.

Georgie is clinically registered with ANZACATA and PACFA, ensuring the highest standards of professional care. If you are seeking healing and growth, we are here to guide you towards a healthier, authentic life.
