Hello! I’m Karo Lutkiewicz - Arts Psychotherapist helping people of all ages to to get creative, play, face challenges and heal from trauma

What I do?

I support and encourage people to approach their problems creatively, express themselves through art making and gain new insight, all with self-acceptance and sense of play, with curiosity and presence.

I am here to listen, ask questions and witness the creative process, no matter how messy.

You don’t need to label yourself ‘creative’ or ‘artsy’ to engage in and benefit from arts psychotherapy — it’s okay to come as you are and make ugly art!

Who do I work with?

I provide arts psychotherapy work with individuals 1:1 in person and online. I also run arts in health programs. I support people of all ages with and without disabilities or diagnoses, with trauma-informed, neuro-affirming and client centred approaches. I also provide services to NDIS participants.

How it works

The process looks like this:
1. You reach out - I respond.
2. We chat about your goals and how you will know that the therapy helps.
I ask questions to learn about you. It’s all confidential, so your details are safe with me.
3. We agree on a date, time and a way to meet.
4. I send you a service agreement to sign so that we both feel comfortable and have clarity.
5. We meet and begin the work.

When we meet, we can talk, experiment and play.
I will bring different art materials and media to try out. If we meet online, you’ll have to have your own (I’ll explain when we chat). We might use mindfulness techniques. At your pace. You don’t have to be good at art to engage with it.

Feel free to ask me any questions!

I acknowledge the traditional custodians of Kaurna country.
I pay my respects to indigenous elders past and present.
