Our Approach

Expressive Therapy

Expressive therapy uses various forms of artistic expression to help individuals communicate their thoughts and emotions. This approach can be particularly beneficial for autistic clients who may struggle with verbal communication or expressing themselves in social situations.

The therapist may work with the client to explore different forms of expression and identify which ones feel most comfortable and effective for the individual.

This is based on the belief that creative expression can promote emotional healing and personal growth. By engaging in the creative process, clients can gain insight into their emotions and develop greater self-awareness and emotional regulation skills. This approach also offers a nonverbal and sensory-based approach to therapy that may be more accessible and comfortable for autistic individuals who may have unique communication and sensory needs. By promoting self-expression and emotional regulation skills, clients can work towards greater emotional well-being and personal growth.

Expressive therapy can include but is not limited to:

  • Art therapy,

  • Sand therapy,

  • Play therapy,

  • Dance therapy,

  • Drama therapy, and

  • Bibliotherapy.

Deep Seas acknowledges the traditional owners of this land we live and work on; the Kaurna people, a land whose sovereignty remains un-ceded.

 

We acknowledge and value their diversity, histories, knowledge, Dreaming and continuing connections to land and country. 


We pay our respects to all First Nations people and their cultures; and to the Elders of past, present and emerging.

 

This land was and will always BE Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land.

We pay our respects to those amongst the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and intersex communities who have worked to support the improved health and well-being of their peers, children, families, friends, and country.

 

We honour the Elders in the diverse communities of which we are a part and we celebrate the extraordinary diversity of people’s bodies, genders, sexualities, and relationships that they represent.

​

We recognize the uniqueness and wholeness of each person and support movements that empower and center communities and identities that are marginalized.
