Anthea Patrick Art Therapist

Art Therapist, Child Therapist, Adults, Disability, Aged Care

I am a practicing visual and sound artist and have worked with those in the community experiencing disability and disadvantage, and also with aged care, for nine years. I have gained experience in facilitating arts workshops for the culturally diverse and vulnerable members of the community.  In this role it is required that I work with a developmentally appropriate therapeutic framework attuned to often multiple and complex needs of each client.

The learnings from a Masters in Mental Health, Majoring in Art Therapy, underpins my approach as Therapist for children who have experienced trauma and are now in foster care.  I also continue to work therapeutically with the elderly in their private residence or at nursing homes.
