Art Therapy

Art Therapy sessions use creative mediums and expression to explore our thoughts, feelings, and lived experience. The emphasis of art therapy is less about talking through problems, and instead visually exploring the client’s experiences through the medium of their choice.

Creative expression can entail any modality you are comfortable with or curious about exploring, such as painting, drawing, clay, or even creative writing. The art therapy process helps us make sense of our inner world. In turn, we develop greater self-awareness, problem-solving skills and healthier coping mechanisms.

No artistic skill is required for art therapy and is applicable for all ages, particularly for individuals who have a creative interest and struggle to verbalise their thoughts and feelings.

Occupational Therapy

OT's know through their work and research, that all people do better and have improved quality of life when they are able to engage in daily living activities, ones that they 'need' to do and 'want' to do.

Due to disability, some neurodivergent people may need additional support from an occupational therapist to assist in adapting, modifying the task or up-skilling, coaching or educating a person on various approaches that may work best for them and their unique brain. Our occupational therapist can also offer Functional Capacity Assessments.

Problem Solving Sessions
Problem Solving sessions are usually one-off, 75 minute appointments for individuals and families who are experiencing one or two difficulties that they would like assistance with. During this session, the problems are explored and information and advice is provided where possible. These sessions provide a safe and supportive space to formulate possible solutions and strategies. Recommendations, referrals or ongoing therapy may be suggested as a result of this session.

Group Programs
Group programs and one-off sessions are run every few months at The Kidd Clinic, covering topics such as anxiety, socialising, gaming, sibling relationships, parent support, and more. If you have any questions, you can reach us at groups@kiddclinic.com.au
