Also online & mobile service. I have operated a registered and insured in-person, online and mobile private practice - ArtFull Therapy - in Sydney and more recently on the NSW south coast since 2011. Professional Clinical Supervision is also available. I bring a creative, warm, playful and intuitive approach to my work with clients. Growing up in Africa and experiencing several relocations with a
young family gave me deep insight into what helps build resilience; what it takes to create a sense of belonging and how to connect with and walk alongside others during life's surprising and often unpredictable unfolding. As a Fine Art and Journalism graduate with an early career in hospitality, public relations and advertising, I later found a passion in volunteering with causes close to my heart. My love for art and helping others happily collided through Art Therapy. I've run an established and successful private practice supporting children, adolescents and adults with a broad range of concerns through trauma-informed/ strengths based / attachment theory lenses. My years of experience working in the special needs arena includes individuals with cognitive/physical needs, neurodiversity and adults with ABI/Stroke. My interest in aged care brought me to Sydney's Memory Innovations Centre where I developed and curated groups for ageing adults living with wellbeing and / or cognitive concerns,also creating innovative online programs during Covid19. I am passionate in guiding people to develop a greater sense of self through their creative process, leading to meaningful change-making and developing strategies to assist with daily life challenges and key relationships. With my background in Fine Arts and graphic design, and having taught art to those living with additional needs, stroke and dementia, I am able to encourage your personal creativity to flourish. "Finding passion in the process rather than perfection in the product" is my goal for my clients. Look out for ongoing local and online groups. Romny is available to facilitate educational sessions on art therapy, corporate workshops and art retreats (check out www.artfulretreats.com). If you are in the Northern Hemisphere and would like to access art therapy via online zoom sessions, we work closely with Penelope Orphanoudaki in Switzerland.
