Welcome to Jaana Sahling Art Therapy
I’m excited to invite you to explore the transformative power of art therapy, where creative expression becomes a way to self-discovery, emotional insight, and personal growth. I work with individuals of all ages, backgrounds, genders, and abilities, providing a safe and supportive space for creative expression.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts from Nottingham Trent University and a Master’s in Creative and Experiential Art Therapy from the Melbourne Institute of Creative and Experiential Art Therapy (MIECAT), I’ve witnessed firsthand how making art can help people reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways. Through creative expression—whether painting, collage, movement, voice, or writing—we unlock new opportunities for connection, understanding, and inspiration.
I offer individual art therapy sessions, group workshops, and courses created to be purposeful, intentional, and encouraging. My approach is rooted in a warm, welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable exploring and expressing yourself. As a professional member of PACFA, I am committed to providing the highest level of care in every session.
Located in the light-filled and inviting Abbotsford Convent studio, I offer a range of options for individuals and small private groups. Additionally, I facilitate short courses and workshops at Melbourne Art Class, focusing on introducing art therapy concepts and creative mindfulness techniques.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with Creative Art Therapy Australia (CATA), delivering wellbeing courses for St. Vincent’s PARC Program, and participating in a pilot program with Launch Housing Australia. These experiences have broadened my understanding of how creative art therapy can support individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
