NDIS Participants
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this covered by the NDIS?
It will be dependent on your plan, your goals, and how your plan is managed.
At present I can see NDIS Participants who are plan or self managed, with appropriate goals and funding supports.
What is creative therapy?
Creative therapy is a form of psychotherapy that combines evidence-based approaches (such as CBT and DBT) with creative, sensory, and body-based methods. It supports emotional regulation, self-awareness, and everyday functioning in ways that don’t rely only on talking.
Is this the same as art therapy or music therapy?
No.
Creative therapy is different from art therapy or music therapy.
Creative activities may be used in sessions, but they are part of a broader psychotherapy approach rather than a standalone therapy model.
Who do you work with?
I support neurodivergent and disabled people, including:
-
Autistic and ADHD individuals
-
People diagnosed later in life
-
Those exploring neurodivergence
-
People experiencing burnout, overwhelm, or disconnection
-
Individuals who find traditional therapy difficult or inaccessible
Do you provide reports for the NDIS?
Yes.
Reports can be provided to support plan reviews and goal tracking. These focus on progress, functional capacity, and recommendations.
Reporting is billed at an hourly rate.
What can creative therapy help with?
During sessions we often work on:
-
Emotional regulation
-
Sensory processing and overwhelm
-
Communication and self-expression
-
Executive functioning (planning, organisation, starting tasks)
-
Identity and self-understanding (including after late diagnosis)
-
Building sustainable routines and reducing burnout
