Creative Arts Therapy
Art Therapy invites us to connect with ourselves through the process of creativity. It can gift us with the opportunity to explore lesser know inner landscapes.
For over 45,000 years humans have embraced art. We have shared our ideas and stories in the pursuit of knowledge, understanding and harmony.
What is Art Therapy?
We are often drawn to creativity when the intensity of our emotions cannot be wrestled into submission by our mind. We dance, we draw or doodle, we seek out particular songs, artists or movies. Instinctually we recognise that art, in all its forms, can serve as solace, release or an avenue through which to express our feelings.
Art therapy involves the use of creative techniques such as drawing, painting, collage, movement, sculpting and music.
People will often describe a sense of timelessness when creating, a stillness of mind. It is in this stillness that the search for solutions, or casting judgment, is suspended. In this quiet space whisperings of a new story can emerge.

About ME
Deborah Rohde, MA (Miecat)
As a filmmaker and community artist I have had the honour of exploring and sharing many stories in both intimate and community settings. I am endlessly amazed and surprised at the incredible power of art. It unfailingly opens up new spaces for me to pause and listen, to learn a little bit more about who I am, and who I might become.
Having worked with groups and individuals in regional and remote settings, along with having lived experience, I am aware that mental health support services are sparse at best, if not absent all together. This has motivated me to create an online service in my field of practice.
Not sure how it will translate but worth a try :)
Complimentary 14 minute consult
Stepping into any relationship can be hugely challenging. I would like to start by extending an invitation to you. Let's test the water, get a feel for how we might work together and decide if there is potential for us to form a productive team.

Let’s go on a creative adventure. Our time together will be focused on process rather the product.

I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians and their connections to country. I pay my respect to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today. I wish to express my gratitude for the tens of thousands of years of dedicated, careful custodianship of the place that I am blessed to call home.
I welcome all cultures, nationalities, religions and diversity in all it's forms
