Nyrelle Bade, Point Cook, VIC

I have memberships with the following associations ACA Australian Counselling Association, ACATA Australian Creative Arts Therapies Association, and APPTA Australasia Pacific Play Therapy Association. I have a working with Children Check and a valid Police check.

I don’t know when I first became interested in the arts …or when I first discovered the therapeutic value of using the arts as therapy, but I have always had a great interest in the “expressive” arts. I am an active, enthusiastic and committed volunteer within the Australian Creative Arts Therapies Association (ACATA). I currently hold the office of President of ACATA.

In 2009 I became involved with the The Art2Healing Project and held the position of Vice Chair from 2009-2014. The Art2Healing Project is a not-for-profit creative arts therapy organisation primarily offering programs based in Asia that are dedicated to providing therapeutic support and education to women and children who have been adversely affected by sex trafficking.

I am person-centred and I really listen to your needs and what you want to change in your life and what you want from the therapeutic process. We will work together to create change from the inside out, claiming back and discovering parts of yourself that have been disowned or neglected. I promise there will be tears, there will be laughter, and there will be change!
