Art Therapy, EMDR & Educational Support on the Mornington Peninsula

HEARTH Studios is a creative arts psychotherapy, EMDR, and educational support practice offering relational, trauma-responsive, and more-than-verbal therapies for children, young people, adults, families, and professionals. Through inclusive and carefully paced approaches, HEARTH supports people with complex, layered or difficult-to-express experiences, including overwhelming life events, diverse ways of learning and communicating, cognitive and neurodevelopmental differences, disability-related needs, emotional distress, and periods of transition or change. At the heart of HEARTH is emotional safety, warmth and steady support — a place to create, express, explore and reflect in your own way.

A creative space for therapy, reflection and growth

At HEARTH Studios, therapy may include talking, art-making, imagery, metaphor, sensory materials, EMDR, play, reflection, or quiet space. You do not need to be good at art. The focus is not on making something “right”, but on expression, meaning, safety and connection. Therapy is tailored to each person, with care for their story, individual presentation and needs, ways of expressing themselves, and what helps them feel connected, understood, and better able to move through daily life.

I acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and recognise their unique relationship with the land and water. I also recognise that the Mornington Peninsula is home to the Boon Wurrung/Bunurong members of the Kulin Nation, who have lived here for thousands of years and have traditional connections and responsibilities to the land we walk on. I pay our respects to all Elders, past & present.
