“I help people discover confidence by inviting them into a creative space where they can uncover their strengths, build connection and express themselves fearlessly. You do not have to be an Artist, or even be good at making Art. The Creative and Symbolic process is within every person. My job is to help you access that part in your self so you can express yourself and your needs more fully.” Dr. Despina is a nationally trained Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Art Therapist, play therapist and clinical supervisor. As the practice manager of Inner Visions Outer Expressions, she has clinical training in psychotherapy, counselling art therapy, art and teaching. She works with children and adults, individually, with couples, families and groups. She has extensive experience working in Psychiatric, Educational and Community settings. As a relational therapist Despina provides a holistic and creative approach aimed at enhancing a person's well-being and potential. Despina’s particular expertise is in the area of grief and loss, relationship and couple counselling, and group work with thirty years of combined experience in art therapy, counselling, psychotherapy, education and the arts. Her therapeutic method is founded on the premise that everyone has the capacity to create and a host of images to express. Working creatively can give meaning to personal experiences. The images created can be viewed as agents for therapeutic change. Despina brings together the Arts and Health to encourage healthier, constructive and meaningful life choices.
