What is Art Therapy?
Art Therapy Adelaide is a therapeutic approach that uses creative activities to support emotional, social and psychological wellbeing. Guided by a trained therapist, sessions may include drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, storytelling, mindfulness activities or other forms of creative expression.
The purpose of Art Therapy Adelaide is not to produce artwork but to provide a safe and meaningful way to explore emotions, develop insight and strengthen coping skills. Creative expression can help people communicate experiences that may be difficult to describe verbally, while also promoting relaxation, self-awareness and resilience.
Every session is tailored to the individual's age, interests, strengths and therapeutic goals.
NDIS & Art Therapy Adelaide
Art Therapy can be funded through the NDIS where it meets the relevant funding criteria and supports the participant's disability-related goals and functional outcomes. Eligibility and funding arrangements depend on each participant's individual circumstances and plan.

Creative Therapy
Art Therapy Adelaide allows the client to control their therapy sessions in a relaxing and inviting environment, as they work through problems, find new solutions or insights about themselves, expand personal understanding, increase their sense of wellbeing, relief and hope and achieve their goals using media such as but not limited to art, movement, play, sound, sandplay, poetry or storytelling.
A Collaborative Allied Health Approach
Art Therapy is often most effective when delivered as part of a holistic care plan.
At Resilient Health Group, our therapists work collaboratively with other allied health professionals to provide coordinated support where appropriate. Depending on your goals, Art Therapy may complement services such as Psychology, Counselling, Occupational Therapy, Positive Behaviour Support and other NDIS supports.
This collaborative approach helps ensure clients receive comprehensive, person-centred care that supports emotional, social and functional wellbeing.
