Launching Supervision Studio 2020

Art Therapy Supervision

This is the supervision you have been dreaming of!

We meet five times a year at the Brunswick Mechanics Institute Studio – a beautiful, light filled room, with timber floors, high ceilings and couches.

We use art based and experiential methods including visual arts, story and drama using improvisation and our our imaginations. You bring the content – the most current issues from your practice!

This facilitated group is a safe, supportive, confidential and CREATIVE space for embodied reflective practice.

Supervision Studio welcomes Art Therapists, Holistic Counsellors and Practitioners working in the helping professions. No prior artistic training is necessary, simply a willingness to engage in creative methods, trust in the process and a love of experiential ways of knowing.

Sunday 16th Feb

Sunday 3rd May

About the facilitator:

Carla van Laar – ANZACATA Registered Supervisor

Master of Creative Arts Therapy, Doctor of Therapeutic Arts Practice

Carla van Laar is a painter and therapeutic arts practitioner from Melbourne, Australia. Carla has over 25 years’ experience working with people and the arts for health and well-being in community organisations, justice, health and education contexts.

Carla’s first book “Bereaved Mother’s Heart” was published in 2007 and broke social taboos about maternal grief. From 2008-18 she established and ran an independent art therapy studio and gallery in Melbourne. Her Doctoral research “Seeing Her Stories” continues the mission to make women’s stories visible, through art.

Carla has lectures and supervises Art Therapy students in institutes including RMIT, MIECAT and IKON. She is a practicing artist and in 2018 received an Artist Fellowship at RMIT’s creative research lab, “Creative Agency”. She insists on being part of a creative revolution in which art re-embodies lived experience, brings us to our senses, makes us aware of the interconnectedness of all life and is an agent of social change.

Carla’s new book “Seeing her stories” presents her research into making unseen stories visible through art.

    When I initially commented I seem to have clicked on the
    -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a
    comment is added I get 4 emails with the exact same comment.

    There has to be an easy method you are able to remove
    me from that service? Many thanks!
