I'm Caryn, an artist and art therapist living in Melbourne.
As an art therapist, I use a broad range of materials and techniques to offer my clients opportunities to experience new creative outlets, to reflect in different ways, and to express themselves in both non-verbal and verbal capacities. I am registered with the professional body ANZACATA.
