We are proud to be part of a diverse community. We stand firmly against bigotry, fascism, racism, sexism, transphobia, and all forms of hate. Our space is committed to respect, inclusivity, and kindness for everyone.

WCC recognises and celebrates the contribution of migrant and refugee communities who have contributed so much to the local community and enriched our lives in many ways. Racism and discrimination causes serious harm and has no place in Australia, as such, WCC reaffirms our commitment to people's right to live free from fear, discrimination and intimidation.

If you experience racism or discrimination and would like information and support please contact the Whittlesea Anti-Racism Support Service on 9401 6666 or [email protected]

🏠 A tiny world made with paper clay characters and a house built from plaster and cardboard, co-created by our art therapists alongside clients as they made their own mini figures.

In our studio, we offer space to build characters, explore identity, and create symbols with personal meaning, helping tell the story of our experiences in a way that feels safe and supported.

Using sculpture and play in therapy can allow clients to express emotions, relationships and inner worlds when words feel out of reach. It’s a process that’s self-directed, meaningful, and helps externalise our inner emotional world.

At Yellow Gum Art Therapy Studio, we support creative processes that help people feel seen, heard and empowered through making, not just talking.

Beads, wire, texture and choice.
Beading is one of the many creative regulation activities we offer in the studio. The focus and repetition can be calming, while the process itself often opens space for connection and conversation, especially for topics that may feel hard to talk about.

For some clients, beading may become more than just an activity in the therapy space. It can spark a new passion or even replace past negative coping behaviours with something that feels safe, expressive and self-directed.

There’s no right or wrong in our studio, just space to create, connect and be supported.
