Frequently Asked Questions

Catalyst Arts Therapy  is an arts therapy practice based on the Gold Coast, Queensland, that offers individual and group therapy sessions to help clients work through a range of mental health challenges.

We offer a range of evidence-based therapies Art Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Career Therapy, Talk Therapy and Laughter Therapy utilising a range of approaches personally tailored to support client needs and goals.

Individual therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes long, while group therapy sessions may be longer. The length of each session may vary depending on the needs of the client.

We begin a session establishing a safe and supportive environment, then do a check in and discussion of what has been going on and identify current priorities. We then collaborate to select an appropriate arts-based activity to explore key themes and issues, we warm up and then dive into the art making. At the end of each session we have a discussion about the art making and any ideas, insights or shifts that occurred and identify any priority areas for future sessions. Generally, there is no "homework" for you to complete - unless you want to work on something between sessions. 

We begin a session establishing a safe and supportive environment, then do a check in and discuss what has been going on and identify current pririties for the session. As the therapist, I will guide you in appropriate EFT techniques to explore and work with your selected topics/issues. At the end of the session we discuss any insights or shifts that occurred and identify any priority areas for future sessions. Generally, there is no "homework" for you to complete - unless you want to work on something between sessions.

I am currently working on developing several group therapy and workshop options for 2024 and will update the website when I can. If you would like to register interest for future group therapy or workshops - please sign up to my newsletter "Therapeutic Sunshine". 

In 2025 I will be offering a suite of group therapy and workshop offerings both face to face and online. 

I am currently working on NDIS registration and can work with self-managed and plan managed clients via Telehealth or Saturday Clinic sessions for the remainder of 2024. I am working a clinic space and additional clinic days for 2025.
