You are welcome to book for just one session to see if art therapy is a good fit for you. If it is we will agree your goal and recommended time frame in that first assessment session. Many clients have success with 6-10 sessions.
I work out of the Toi Ako Artspace in Te Kauwhata. This is located at 3 Waerenga Rd. Te Kauwhata (underneath St Margaret's Hall).
My preference is always to work together in person but I can also support you online where necessary.
