About
Arts Therapist
I'm Angelique Fogarty, an ANZACATA registered Arts Therapist and Counsellor on the Darling Downs. I hold a Masters degree in Therapeutic Arts Practice from MIECAT, the leading experiential arts therapy institute in the country.
Every arts therapist has a unique approach to their practice, I lean into the traditional arts materials as my foundation but also use play, sound, movement, literary and nature-based modalities.
Arts therapy is innately somatic and I value working holistically to integrate the knowledge our body and nervous system holds.
I prioritise the therapeutic relationship with my clients, modelling compassion, curiosity and building a gentle scaffold in your life to support you.
I'm a mother, a creative, a local, a nature lover, a dreamer and looking forward to meet you.
Arts Therapy
Arts Therapy is a specialist psychotherapy field and an allied health profession in it's own right. It uses multiple arts and expressions to improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
A variety of modalities and materials like paint, clay, collage, poetry, movement, sound and play may be used to facilitate the exploration of your inner world in a way that feels safe and intuitive. It’s about the process and the relational space, helping you to:
-
Process trauma or difficult emotions.
-
Reduce stress and anxiety.
-
Gain new perspectives on personal challenges.
-
Connect with your authentic self.
When looking for Arts Therapy for yourself, family or clients, it is important to choose a practitioner that is qualified and registered, this is usually a Masters degree in Art therapy and ANZACATA membership.
