Tailored Art Therapy Classes in Melbourne

Be the creator of your healing journey.

Expressive Art Therapy Classes

Expressing our inner thoughts and feelings isn’t always easy. At Artivive, we gently guide you to explore creative methods that feel right for you, helping you uncover emotions and promote emotional clarity.

Children’s Art Therapy Classes

For children, creativity is often their first language. Art therapy helps them safely express big feelings they may not yet have words for. Through play-based activities, we support emotional regulation, ease anxiety, and build confidence.

Mindfulness and Art Therapy

Mindfulness and art therapy combine creative practices with spiritual and emotional self-awareness. Guided visualisations, breathwork, and symbology help you explore beyond conscious thought, connecting you to deeper personal insight.

Trauma & Healing Therapy

Our trauma-informed art therapy provides a calm, supportive space to creatively and gently process life’s challenges. We use transpersonal methods like life mapping, mandalas, and symbol work to support self-awareness and healing.

FAQs

Your Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know about starting art therapy at Artivive.

What are art therapy classes, and how do they work?

Art therapy classes involve using creative techniques like painting, drawing, or clay work to explore emotions, process experiences, and improve mental well-being. At Artivive, sessions are guided by a certified Transpersonal Art Therapist and are tailored to individual needs.

Art therapy courses are typically structured over multiple sessions and may follow a specific therapeutic theme or outcome. Individual art therapy classes are more flexible and personalised based on each client’s goals.

In an art therapy session at Artivive, you'll engage in creative activities guided by a therapist. Sessions typically begin with a brief check-in about your current state, followed by art-making activities tailored to your personal therapy goals. You'll then explore your creative process and insights with your therapist. The emphasis is always on the process, not creating a perfect artwork.

Art therapy is suitable for children (4+), adolescents, and adults. It’s especially helpful for those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, sensory challenges, or neurodivergence.

Yes, we provide fully interactive online art therapy sessions via Zoom. These sessions follow the same supportive, creative process as our in-person sessions, allowing you to access art therapy from the comfort of your home.

We offer both. Small group sessions for children (4–5 participants) run weekly during school holidays or in a 4-6 week block throughout the term. These sessions are pre-planned to incorporate activities that encourage positive social interactions and emotional support. Adult group sessions can also be arranged as a one-off session or as a 4-week block.

Individual sessions, on the other hand, are not pre-planned and are tailored as the sessions unfold to suit your needs.

Getting started begins with a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs, session availability, and whether you prefer in-person or online sessions. If we proceed, you’ll have to complete a background information form, especially for children or young people, with any relevant documents from school or allied health professionals.
