Overview

Hi, Cecilia here! Born and raised in Sweden, I have been lucky for the past 20 years to call East Corrimal home, where I live with my beautiful husband, sons, and three dogs who fill my days with laughter, challenges & love. Surrounded by the coast’s beauty, I cherish the simple joys of being outside and seeing the ocean daily. Creativity has been a constant presence throughout my life, offering comfort, healing, and self-discovery moments. It’s my journey with art and creativity that drives my private practice. I studied Creative Arts for two years in Sweden before moving to Australia. I have since completed my Diploma in both youth work and art therapy. With over twenty years of experience working within disability services, and now for the last six years, working as a Wellbeing Support Officer in a primary school, supporting children with their social and emotional well-being. I am truly passionate about my work and committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those I support. It’s my life journey, my passion for working with people, creativity, and supporting children’s growth has led me to where I am today. As an art therapy counselor and registered member of ACCA (Australian Community Counselling Association), I am committed to upholding professional and ethical standards in my practice. I offer therapeutic services using art to explore emotions and support personal growth.
