Hi there, I'm, Sarah!
I'm a registered Creative Arts Therapist with over 10 years' experience in community development, teaching, and therapeutic work. I love getting to know people — walking alongside them as they understand who they are, move out of environments or habits that no longer serve them, and feel genuinely good in their own skin.
I bring humour, curiosity, and playfulness into my work, alongside respectful listening, creativity, and compassion. Whatever brings you here, I'd love to walk alongside you.
Creative Arts Therapy offers something different: a chance to pause. To stop the head talk, quiet the white noise, and step out of the loop of overthinking. It gives your body a chance to speak — to share what it's been holding onto, carrying, or trying to say all along. Sometimes the things we most need to express aren't found in words, but in colour, movement, sound, or stillness.
My work has taken me all over Australia from Naarm (Melbourne), to North East Arnhem Land, to the East Kimberley, and now to Dja Dja Wurrung Country in the Bendigo goldfields region.
In Creative Arts Therapy no two sessions look the same and that's exactly the point. We might talk, paint, squish clay, move our bodies, laugh, drum, or just sit quietly together. There's no pressure and no "right way" to do creative arts therapy here. Your comfort always leads the way, and we move at your pace.
At the heart of it all is a simple belief: connection comes first. When we feel safe, seen, and understood, we can get curious, using play, movement, humour, music, and art to say what words sometimes can't. It starts with creating a space where every form of communication is welcome. Whether through mess, laughter, creativity, or quiet moments, I'm here to walk alongside you as you build understanding, confidence, and a deeper connection to yourself and others.
If you'd like to know more, reach out for a complimentary phone call — no pressure at all to book anything. Let's just chat!
Registered vs. Non-Registered Creative Arts Therapist
In Australia, "creative arts therapist" isn't a legally protected title — which means, in theory, anyone can use it, regardless of their training or experience. That's why registration matters!
A registered Creative Arts Therapist (typically through bodies like ANZACATA or PACFA) has completed accredited postgraduate training, undertaken supervised clinical placements, and committed to an ongoing code of ethics, professional supervision, and continued education. This registration is your assurance of safe, ethical, and evidence-informed practice. It also means I'm recognised as a provider under NDIS, so eligible clients can access creative arts therapy as part of their funded supports — something non-registered practitioners typically cannot offer.
Choosing a registered therapist isn't just a formality; it's the difference between working with someone qualified to hold the complexity of your (or your child's) story with the care, skill, and accountability it deserves.
I hold professional membership through The Australian, New Zealand and Asian Creative Arts Therapies Association (ANZACATA).
