About Me

Hi, I am Iris and I am a qualified Art Therapist (Adv.Dip.Trans.A.Th.). I am a member of ANZACATA (the Australian, New Zealand and Asian Creative Arts Therapies Association).

I am a mother of two and I love helping and empowering kids and adults to discover their own strengths and potential through expressive art.

My greatest passion is helping people .

This passion, combined with my science background, led me to study Art Therapy and become a Qualified Art Therapist. Supporting people in expressing their emotions, managing stress and anxiety as well as discovering their strengths and potential through creative expression, gives me a great sense of fulfillment.

My Experience

My Art Therapy experience is broad and varied. I have facilitated workshops for kids at After School Care and as part of Vacation Care Programmes as well as various groups for kids and adults. I have worked with kids with disabilities, the elderly in aged care facilities and conducted workshops for pregnant women. I also facilitate creative wellbeing and meditation workshops in organisations.

I offer various group workshops focusing on the following:

Women’s self-development and creativity
Mindfulness and emotional wellbeing – getting in touch with your true self as well as your creative self
Kids and Teenagers - encouraging them to express emotions as well as manage stress and anxiety in a creative and healthy way. Helping them enhance their overall wellbeing
Mindfulness and Creativity team building workshops for employees in a corporate environment

Since COVID19 started I have been facilitating online workshops.

I also offer one-on-one sessions for adults and children. Online and face-to-face.

My approach

My approach is holistic and client-centered, respecting the individual and their values. Providing a safe and non-judgmental space for people to express themselves freely.

As an Art Therapist, I focus on people’s wellness, mindfulness and self-development.

I believe each one of us has the tools and answers within ourselves. Using creative expression helps access these tools.

I love being an Art Therapist as I can see how powerful expressive art can be in helping people heal, grow, feel more grounded and at peace.
