Creative Arts Therapy in Coffs Harbour
Arts Therapy Sessions in Coffs Harbour for big-feeling humans who need a creative reset.
For playful possibilities and perspective shifts.
You’ve been holding it together for so long. Balancing work, family, and everything life throws your way.
But behind that capable exterior, there’s exhaustion, self-doubt, and a longing to feel more alive. You know you’re more than just the reliable, practical one.
You’ve got an inkling there’s more—a part of you that craves space to play, make a mess, and feel alive beyond the daily grind.
Creative Arts Therapy is a safe, easy space to practice doing life better.
Because life is more than just surviving.
It’s about feeling alive.
Right now, you’re carrying the weight of endless responsibilities and harsh self-criticism. You give so much to everyone else, but self-kindness feels impossible.
You want relief, permission to feel good, and a moment to just be.
The idea of therapy can feel overwhelming, especially if it means talking endlessly about the past. What you really need is a space to create, to let your feelings out through something other than words.
Play a little, shift a lot…

Creative Arts Focus
I’m Hayley, a Creative Arts Therapist passionate about helping people who feel stretched too thin to reconnect with the parts of themselves they’ve forgotten.
I know firsthand how transformative creative expression can be, turning the weight of responsibility into something joyful, meaningful, and real. -
My Approach
During our in-person sessions, you’ll have a judgment-free zone to play, explore, and express emotions that words can’t touch.
Art materials are provided—you just bring yourself. We might use paint, clay, or even movement. It’s not about making something “good.” It’s about making something true. -
How It Works
Book your session: Contact me to book a time.
Show up and create: Arrive at my Coffs Harbour space, and I’ll guide you through 50 minutes of creative exploration.
Feel lighter: Walk away feeling more grounded, connected, and ready to take on the world—or at least your next to-do list.

“Hayley holds a beautifully supportive and gentle space for self-exploration. She is present with you every step of the way and provides attuned and thoughtful insights that help you see things from different perspectives. I have felt the therapeutic effects of our session go beyond the time we had together, with a new awareness in my everyday life.” - Natalia

“Hanging out with Hayley for the afternoon felt like a sip of lemon myrtle tea – so fresh, invigorating, and damn delightful. I felt right at home in my first art therapy session with Hayley, gently guided into my own colourful, arty process. I discovered my wildest dreams are very tangible and found new ways to bring more magic into my day-to-day life. What a treat!”

KRIS
“I initially had some concerns about my lack of artistic skills before starting art therapy. However, I was looking for a new way to explore my feelings outside the typical therapy context. I found Hayley’s art therapy to be a really wholesome and fulfilling way of approaching some of the problems I'm going through, especially the guidance around the art aspect. It helped me link my thoughts and feelings to physical reactions, creating a more comprehensive approach to healing. I love Hayley’s combination of kindness and silliness to help create a really beautiful atmosphere that makes it easy to be vulnerable. This experience was more interactive and personal than regular therapy, leaving me with tangible reminders of our work and a sense that we were really collaborating on my well-being.”

TRAVIS
“Throughout the session, I didn't feel you were in front pulling me along, nor in back pushing me forward. I felt you were standing beside, and we were taking a walk together at a pace I felt comfortable with. Rather than psychoanalyzing my drawings and everything I was saying, to me it felt like you were pointing out notable words and phrases, and allowed me to interpret it for myself.”

SARA
“Working with Hayley is an absolute delight! The presence and space she holds is infused with unconditional love and acceptance, and this in and of itself feels so healing. Her grounded energy and the insights she offers are POTENT. The practices and exercises she guides are powerful, and address the deepest roots of whatever is being addressed. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Hayley!”

JEN
“Hayley is an exceptional therapist. She has a beautiful, calming and safe presence. Hayley has been able to pinpoint some deep-seated patterns in me and help me begin to release them and believe in my worth so that I can move forward towards my dreams. I had so many a-ha moments in my time with Hayley; realisations I never would have had without her great questions and guidance.”
