Hi I'm Cheree, and I'm a qualified Art Therapist, HH Dip (A.TH.) and member with IICT. In the past 3 yrs I took a new turn in my life and began a journey in personal development, learning about self help, mental health, behaviours and how are mental models can determine our outcomes. From here I discovered the power of Art Therapy. Art therapy is about achieving goals and learning how, where and why our thoughts are developed. It is a way of expressing feelings in a creative way often without words. I'm also continuing my knowledge and studying a Diploma of Counselling with AIPC (Australians Institute of Professional Counsellors). I'm extremely passionate about helping others and I believe Art Therapy can be beneficial in our journey towards healing or understanding where we are going in our life. You don't need to be an artist to apply this to your life, you just need to be open and ready for change and transformation to begin. %09 Art Therapy is beneficial for anyone experiencing: Depression Trauma / PTSD Panic Attacks Anxiety Domestic/ Family Violence Eating Disorder Grief/ Loss Postpartum depression Substance abuse/ addictions Suicidal thoughts/ attempts Chronic health condition
