About
What is Art Therapy?
Art Therapy is an allied health profession which utilises creativity and art making to support the overall improvement of wellbeing for people of all ages. No art skills or previous experience is required, just a willingness to engage creatively with a range of materials.
Registered Art Therapists hold a Master’s Degree in Art Therapy together with at least 750 hours of supervised clinical placement. They complete regular practice supervision and are bound by a strict code of standards and ethics.
About me…
I am based in Regional Victoria. I hold a Master’s of Art Therapy from LaTrobe University, am a registered member of ANZACATA, a Visual Arts Teacher & practicing artist.
I believe strongly in the benefits of creativity on positive mental health and feel that working with art materials can support people from all walks of life to develop greater self-awareness, make sense of challenging thoughts and emotions, and generally support positive wellbeing.
Andrea Lewis Art Therapy is committed to creating a calm and safe environment in which you are able to either, explore challenging personal content through a one to one session, or simply engage with others in a creative space which supports wellbeing and positive mental health.
Set in the beautiful natural environment of the Hidden Valley Estate, Wallan. The Studio takes advantage of both indoor and outdoor spaces and can be adapted to suit your needs.
Andrea Lewis Art Therapy offers individual therapeutic sessions, skill based art classes, social art groups for adults and children, and team building workshops.
My therapeutic approach is Trauma-informed, Humanistic and Person Centered. It is my goal to create a welcoming and safe space for you to catch your breath, explore your inner world through creativity and support your journey to positive mental health.
