Art Therapy - Gold Coast


Art therapy is considered to be a great therapy method because it allows the expression of non-verbal thoughts; additionally it balances right (non-verbal) and left (verbal) brain functions. Art Therapy is great for relieving stress. In fact, abstract art involves focus, creativity and joy, without the pressure to make anything perfect or lifelike. Some people like to draw to reveal their problems, especially if they find it hard to articulate or get their inner-child to communicate. Others like to get busy with pastels to express themselves. The view of the creek from the counselling room balcony inspires most people.

Art Therapy is highly recommended for:
  • ​Getting to the Heart of Depression
  • For Learning Blocks: Especially Mathematics, Spelling, Exam Nerves, Dyslexia,
  • Social Anxiety for Teenagers
  • Life's Purpose: What is your life purpose?
  • For Aged Care: Early Onset Dementia - Cognitive Exercising
  • Anxiety during Rehabilitation for Substance Addictions (Group)
  • Combining Art Therapy with Narrative Therapy for Children
  • Working through Grief or Illness setbacks
  • Reduction of Panic Attacks
  • Connecting with Subconscious Desires or Beliefs
  • For Limiting Beliefs in Skills and Abilities
  • Overcoming Body Changes from Child to Adult​ & LGBT Issues
  • Self-Esteem Issues. Not Feeling Good Enough ​

​Traditional Art Therapy
In traditional Art Therapy, the therapist interprets the client's artwork as a symbolic, yet tangible expression of a problem. In Ghita's methods, she uses guided visualisation and drawing exercises to work through irrational or limiting beliefs. This method, was known as psychosynthesis and was originally designed by psychoanalyst - Roberto Assagioli in Italy, last century.

​Unlike Freud, Assagiolo believed in a spiritual, inclusive concept of humanity. Furthermore, his exercises, which incorporated drawing elements, were very successful in unleashing glass ceilings and limiting beliefs about abilities.

Painting and Sketching Exercises:
  • My Perfect Life
  • How I See Myself
  • Forgiveness Exercises
  • Walking up the Mountain (Psychosynthesis exercise)

Mediums: Acrylics, Oil Pastels and Pen sketches.

Fees are $120 per hour including some art materials. *Canvases not included.

Because Art Therapy is one of many modalities at Ghita Therapy, it is important to remember that there is an initial free 10 minute phone consultation available. *It is advisable that you consult with Ghita before booking in case there is a better method for your issue. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask questions. Call us today at Ghita Therapy Counselling Gold Coast on 0439888070, or alternatively, check availability and book easily online 24 hours on the booking tab below.
