As an art therapist Celia draws upon a wealth of experience working in the field of community arts in the Northern Territory and in Victoria. Her work took a natural turn towards art as a therapeutic medium when she observed the soothing effect the creative process had on people she worked with. Celia’s conviction that art can be an aid to insight and healing informs her passion for art therapy. She believes that “everyone is an artist” although no prior artistic experience is necessary to gain therapeutic benefits from the art process.

Celia has worked as an art therapist in a wide range of settings including hospitals, drop-in programs, residential units, team building projects and outreach. She conducts both brief and long-term therapy with individuals and groups.
