NDIS CREATIVE ARTS THERAPY & SOMATIC EMDR FOR TRAUMA
Sometimes words are not enough
At Your Loving Mind, we view the body and mind as interconnected.
Creative arts therapy helps you express and manage your emotions, create a sense of safety and stability, and work through trauma held in the body. We combine traditional talk therapy with body-focused and expressive therapies, such as dance movement therapy and art therapy.
We offer Somatic EMDR as a standalone trauma intervention. This approach integrates Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) with somatic awareness, highlighting the mind-body connection to facilitate trauma processing through physical sensations and emotions.
A tailored approach to your well-being
We work together to create a unique treatment plan, specifically tailored towards your goals and needs. Helping you move from surviving to thriving! All sessions are 1 hour in length, and facilitated by an allied and mental health professional.

​
Somatic EMDR
Somatic EMDR combines Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) with somatic awareness, focusing on the mind-body connection to help individuals process trauma through physical sensations and emotions. EMDR is an evidence-based therapy endorsed by the World Health Organisation and the Australian Psychological Society for trauma treatment.
Art Therapy
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art as a means of communication and expression. It is based on the idea that the creative process involved in art making can help individuals to explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences in a non-verbal and therapeutic way, and can promote emotional growth and healing.
Dance Movement Therapy
The psychotherapeutic use of movement to improve health and well-being. An evidence-based allied health service that focusses on the body/mind connection. It is particularly beneficial for trauma, stress and mental health.
Counselling
Traditional talk-based therapy for mental health. It uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to reframe beliefs; mindfulness for emotional regulation and compassion-focused therapy to challenge the inner critic.
Professionally registered therapy
When seeking therapeutic support, it is vital that your therapist is professionally accredited and trained to assist you. We are Masters level qualified and registered with the Australian, New Zealand and Asian Creative Arts Therapies Association (ANZACATA). ​
