Expressive Therapies Australia offers specialised extension training courses in Creative Arts Therapies as well as Sandplay Therapy. Our programs provide specialised extension training for counsellors, guidance officers, psychologists, social workers, and professionals in related fields. Courses are offered around Australia and internationally.
Expressive Therapies (ET) use multiple intelligence tools for pluralistic, creative arts-based counselling. The activities are easily integrated into counselling practice because of the way they allow the individual to engage in therapy more fully, and access deeper levels of the psyche at their own pace. Clients of all ages benefit from experiential engagement within counselling sessions.
The Expressive Therapies Modalities taught in our courses include: Sandplay Therapy, Symbol Work, Visual Art, Therapeutic Writing, Music, Emotional Literacy, Emotion-Focused & Integration Processes, Body Focus, Bioenergetics, Dreamwork, Inner-life Skills, Visualisation, Relaxation, Meditation.

While ET is widely used as a counselling approach, it is also beneficial in longer-term psychotherapy. Specifically, ET focuses on identifying and building on a client's individual strengths, while at the same time providing creative-arts-based activities to enhance reflexivity, resolve emotional difficulties, examine beliefs, grow somatic awareness, and regulate behaviour. The focus of our work is to support resolution of issues, make positive directions for problem solving, as well as strengthen a healthy sense of self.
Expressive Therapies Australia is a member of the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association.
