About Kirsi

Hello and welcome to my website

Beauty Forgiveness Healing!

​

I am an Accredited Art Therapist (AThR) and Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW) working in Springwood, Qld, Australia.

​

I have spent about 15 years so far working in the community sector in Greater Brisbane area in various roles whilst completing a Bachelors degree and two Masters degrees. Clearly I believe in the power of education and making informed decisions :)

 

In the past I have worked as a Children's Counsellor in family separation context, as well as facilitated "Art for Wellbeing" groups for culturally and linguistically diverse clients. I have worked with vulnerable families, individuals escaping domestic violence, people seeking asylum in Australia, unemployed with mental health barriers, and in child and youth mental health in the Northern Territory . I have used arts therapies modalities successfully with people with mental illness.

​

My passion has always been in the expressive arts area, and lately increasingly in the sensorimotor art therapies field as I (and neuroscience!) find it beneficial for all ages. I believe that we all have already healing abilities and qualities within ourselves - sometimes we just need help from a professional to start the healing process going. 

Art therapy is a great way to start processing what is in one's mind, and how to find ways to change or get better or learn more or stabilize.
