1.

Do you need to be good at art to come to art psychotherapy?

 

Art psychotherapy is not about having art skills or learning art techniques. It is an opportunity to experiment with and explore the art materials in ways that support your personal inquiry. Therefore you do not need to be 'good' at art to come to art psychotherapy.

2.

Is art psychotherapy supported by the NDIS or any of the private health funds?

 

Art psychotherapy is included in support programs funded by the NDIS. I am able to take referrals from participants who self manage their NDIS plans.

If you have private health insurance please check with your insurer to see if they offer rebates for art psychotherapy.

Medicare does not currently offer an art psychotherapy rebate.
