A Gentle Creative Pathway to Emotional Wellbeing
At TT Psychology, art therapy provides a warm, supportive pathway for patients of all ages to explore emotions and develop coping strategies through creative expression. Rather than relying on words alone, art therapy Windsor sessions offer a safe, playful, and sensory-considerate environment where thoughts and feelings may be gently processed in a way that suits each individual.
Sessions are led by Romi Kupfer, our qualified Art Therapist and Counsellor, who thoughtfully combines creative modalities with therapeutic approaches to support emotional wellbeing, self-awareness, and personal growth. Regardless of your artistic ability, this is a welcoming, safe space to explore and create freely and without fear.
Who Can Benefit From Art Therapy?
Art therapy has no age limit or skill restrictions; instead, it offers a relaxed, interactive approach that people of all ages may benefit from.
Art therapy may be a supportive option for people in Windsor who:
Prefer creative or hands-on expression
Find talk-based therapy overwhelming or challenging
May benefit from sensory-safe or play-based approaches
Want a gentle, non-pressured way to explore emotions
Respond well to movement, colour, imagination, and tactile activities
Need a supportive way to build emotional vocabulary or self-awareness
This approach may be especially supportive for children and teenagers who thrive with structure, creativity, and warmth, as well as adults seeking a fresh, expressive pathway to healing and self-understanding.
What Can You Expect in Art Therapy?
Sessions in art therapy Windsor may include:
- Painting and drawing
- Arts and crafts

- Sand tray therapy
- Creative writing and storytelling

Our qualified art therapist and counsellor, Romi, personalises each session to suit the patient’s individual needs, goals, interests, and comfort levels. No prior art experience is necessary; the focus is on expression, not artistic ability.
What Brings People to Art Therapy
Art therapy may offer support across a wide range of emotional, developmental, and behavioural needs, including:
- ADHD
- Autism
- Worries and anxiety disorders
- Emotional regulation
- Sensory needs
- Trauma or difficult experiences
- Social skills and connection
- Confidence and self-esteem
- Everyday stress and big emotions

The Value of Art Therapy
Art therapy provides a unique and accessible way to explore emotions, experiences, and identities through creativity rather than conversation alone. For many children, teens, and adults, artistic expression feels safe, more engaging, and more natural (especially when words feel overwhelming or hard to find).
This process may assist in:
- Build emotional awareness through the exploration of feelings via art
- Develop practical coping strategies that support regulation and emotional resilience
- Support sensory needs through hands-on, calming, or structured activities
- Encourage confidence and self-expression
- Work through difficult or traumatic experiences at a pace that feels comfortable and supported
- Foster a stronger sense of identity, particularly for LGBTIQA+ young people or those moving through important life transitions
- Foster a warm and non-judgmental space

Getting to Know Art Therapy
Who is art therapy appropriate for?
Art therapy is generally suitable for everyone; children, adolescents, young adults, and adults may all benefit from therapeutic creative expression. No artistic ability or prior experience is needed, as all sessions are thoughtfully tailored to your comfort level and individual goals.
What does an art therapy session look like?
Art therapy sessions are usually 50 or 80 minutes in duration and may include a range of creative activities, supported reflection, and gentle therapeutic conversations where appropriate. Both individual and group sessions are offered to ensure that all participants feel comfortable throughout the process.
What should I bring along to my session?
Unless your clinician has advised otherwise, there is no need to bring anything to your session. All art materials are included as part of our fees. We do recommend wearing clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting a little dirty. We stock an extensive range of arts and crafts materials, including beads, stickers, stencils, collage materials, paint, clay, sand tray, figurines, drawing supplies, pencils, crayons, textas, sewing materials, and more!
How are goals determined for art therapy?
Romi collaborates with you (or with parents/carers for our younger patients) to develop clear, supportive goals that are grounded in your needs, interests, and preferred way of working. These goals are flexible and may be adjusted over the course of your therapy as circumstances change.
Are rebates available?
Detailed information about fees, rebates, and payment options is available on our Fees page. NDIS rebates are available for eligible participants and no referral is needed. Our team will ensure you understand your options before your first session.
What sets art therapy apart from traditional therapy?
Unlike traditional talk therapy, art therapy provides a pathway for people to express emotions and thoughts through visual, tactile, and creative mediums. It is thought to be particularly supportive for those who find it challenging to articulate their experiences verbally, such as children or those working through trauma.

Our Art Therapy Booking Process
Make a Booking
Get in touch online or by phone, and our team will help organise your initial parent appointment at a time that is convenient.
Initial Parent Session
For children and teenagers, the process starts with a parent-only session in which we explore the child's background, interests, strengths, and current challenges to help inform the art therapy approach.
Initial Patient Session
The first art therapy session is dedicated to helping the child feel comfortable and settled in the creative space. Activities are kept gentle and exploratory, and a parent may be asked to participate in part of the session if this helps to support the child's confidence and sense of security.
Ongoing Sessions
Your art therapist will then put together a recommended plan for ongoing sessions, outlining goals, session frequency, and any additional supports that may assist the child in expressing themselves, processing experiences, and developing through creative work.
