Express Yourself
SAY HELLO TO ART THERAPY
Oh, hello there!
My name is Natalija Stefanović.
I am a PACFA and ANZACATA registered counsellor, art therapist and psychotherapist. In my sessions I use a range of art materials and creative approaches to help clients explore feelings, improve self-awareness and reduce anxiety - we also talk. I believe that mental health stems from a deep understanding of self, the experiences that shape us and making sense of our feelings. I want to work with you to identify your unique emotional challenges, set healing goals, and track your progress. Together we can identify your day-to-day challenges, learn to sit with discomfort, build resilience and empower emotional growth while giving you the tools you need to live a more fulfilling life. As someone who has personally experienced the transformative power of art therapy, I am passionate about helping others discover the healing benefits of creative expression.
How do we get to know your SELF better?
S
subconcious
Making art is a way to engage with the subconscious mind, and can reveal insights not accessible through conscious thought.
Analysing and interpreting art can reveal underlying themes and patterns.
E
expression
Art Therapy uses art-making as a tool for exploring experiences, thoughts and emotions. Increasing self-awareness allows for the development of coping strategies for a range of mental health concerns.
L
language
Art is a way to explore ideas and thoughts which are hard to put into words and which may need to be understood to improve mental health. We communicate through movement, art and play well before we learn to speak.
F
flexibility
Eclectic Client-Led Art Therapy borrows techniques from varied therapeutic traditions such as cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and existential-phenomenological. This flexible approach allows a tailored approach to a client's specific needs as identified by the client.
