My Story
Joanna Anderson
She/her
BA in Arts Psychotherapy from the IKON Institute, Grad Dip in Secondary Education, PACFA member
*Eligible service for Self Managed NDIS Clients
I have a long-standing involvement with Art Psychotherapy, beginning with five years as a client. In 2018, I was part of the inaugural cohort for the IKON Institute's Bachelor's Degree in Art Psychotherapy. My professional experience includes working with adults facing complex mental health issues, children with long-term medical challenges, and conducting an online art therapy program during the pandemic. Additionally, I collaborate with the Ronald McDonald House Learning Outreach program, supporting children with various special educational needs.
I hold a current Teacher's Registration (TRB) and a Working With Children's Check.
What is Art Psychotherapy?
Have you ever felt stuck in your life and needed a new perspective? Art Psychotherapy can help. Through self-expression and creativity, you can uncover and understand underlying emotional conflicts, develop social skills, boost self-esteem, improve mental health, reduce anxiety, and find a path to thriving in your life.
Art Therapy includes a variety of activities such as:
- Music
- Movement
- Play
- Drama
- Creative Art
- Narrative Therapy
And the best part? You don't need any art skills to benefit from Art Therapy!
JJ's Creative Art Therapies Psychotherapy
Welcome to JJ's Creative Art Therapies
As a certified PACFA member (Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia), I understand that the act of creating can often breakthrough the limitations of language, allowing for you to have deeper expression of emotions that may be difficult to articulate verbally. My art therapy programs provides a unique and powerful way to explore your inner world, develop self-awareness, and work towards positive change in a supportive and in a non-judgmental environment. My goal is to help my clients develop the tools and skills they need to manage life's challenges and achieve their goals. I offer individual therapy as well as group therapy and workshops.
