Eco & Art Therapies
About the Business
Welcome to Eco & Art Therapies, a unique establishment located in the serene surroundings of Mudgeeraba, Bagan Court. Our institution is dedicated to promoting health and well-being through the integration of eco and art therapies, harnessing the healing power of nature and artistic processes to nourish the soul.
Led by Deidrie Tehan Cullen, an experienced and qualified art psychotherapist and transpersonal counselor, Eco & Art Therapies offers a transformative approach to self-expression and healing. Art therapy, a form of psychotherapy, allows clients to explore their inner worlds, express their thoughts and feelings, and develop greater self-awareness, self-esteem, and coping mechanisms for everyday stressors.
Unlike an art class, art therapy taps into the creative and imaginative side that resides within all of us, regardless of previous experience or skills. Through the process of making art and utilizing expressive therapies, individuals can delve into and understand different aspects of themselves and their experiences. This therapeutic approach aims to manage behaviors, process feelings, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase self-esteem.
Studies have shown that creating art stimulates the release of dopamine, a chemical associated with pleasure and happiness. Therefore, art therapy not only provides a means of expression but also contributes to overall emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Eco therapy, another modality offered at our institution, combines the healing power of nature with art in joint therapeutic sessions. By utilizing objects found in nature, such as leaves, pinecones, seashells, and flower petals, individuals can create ephemeral natural art creations that change and evolve just as nature does. This immersive experience allows individuals to slow down, explore issues, and gain a sense of control over their lives, fostering a deeper understanding of oneself and our interconnectedness with the dynamic ecology of the world.
At Eco & Art Therapies, we believe in the importance of the therapeutic alliance between the client and therapist. This interpersonal relationship forms the cornerstone of our approach, ensuring a safe and caring environment for personal growth and healing.
In addition to her expertise in art therapy, Deidrie Tehan Cullen holds a Bachelor of Art in Psychotherapy and a Diploma in Counseling. She is also a professional photographer and has a history of grassroots activism and advocacy. Deidrie is dedicated to promoting mental health, well-being, and accessing inner creativity through her work at Eco & Art Therapies.
We extend our gratitude and respect to the traditional families of the Yugambeh region of South East Queensland and their Elders, past, present, and emerging. We acknowledge the land on which we operate and the diverse cultural backgrounds that make up our community.

Reviews
"You don't have to be an artist to benefit from this therapy. It's very cathartic to express yourself through art... the mind just seems to flow better!"
"I have had the pleasure of witnessing this beautiful lady progress to a wise, open hearted and insightful therapist. I would highly recommend her as a important step towards self awareness and love."
"I never knew how beneficial Art Therapy could be until I had a session with Deirdrie in her beautiful art space. When I learnt that it’s the process of working with art materials and that I don’t need to be an artist as such I fell into a timeless space in my mind. When I finished the session I felt at ease with myself, proud of what I had made and keen to come again."
