Creative Hearts provides both individual and group psychotherapy, counselling, art therapy, and nature-based therapy sessions, contingent upon participant numbers. These sessions are conducted within the studio space as well as through a mobile service for therapies. At Creative Hearts, we have developed two aesthetically pleasing spaces designed for the enjoyment of both clients and their families or caregivers during therapy sessions. These spaces are accessible to participants of all ages and abilities and are characterized by a non-clinical, welcoming atmosphere. The Creative Hearts facility is equipped with off-street parking and wheelchair accessibility, ensuring convenience and inclusivity for all clients.
Nature-based Psychotherapy/Eco Therapy
Ecotherapy, as a contemporary therapeutic approach, draws upon this ancient wisdom to enhance physical and mental well-being. By engaging with the natural environment, individuals can experience a sense of safety and exploration, facilitating a deeper connection with themselves and others. This holistic approach promotes healing and personal growth, underscoring the enduring significance of our relationship with the natural world.
Child & Adolescent Counselling
Our child and adolescent counseling services are designed to help young people overcome a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and more. Andi uses evidence-based techniques to help children and teens develop coping skills, improve self-esteem, and achieve greater success in school and other areas of life.
