Understanding Autism:
Understanding autism goes beyond just knowing the diagnosis. It's about appreciating the many different ways people with autism see and experience the world. Art therapy has become a superhero tool for helping them communicate, express themselves, and grow personally. Let's dive into the amazing world where autism meets art therapy and see how creativity can bridge gaps and build connections.
Autism is a special way of experiencing the world. It can make social interactions tricky and lead to repetitive behaviors or interests. But remember, autism is a spectrum, meaning each person with autism is unique and has their own strengths and challenges. That's why personalized support is so important.The Magic of Art Therapy:
Art therapy taps into our natural ability to create as a way to express ourselves. Unlike regular talking therapy, where words are the main tool, art therapy offers different ways to express feelings and thoughts. This makes it perfect for people with autism who might struggle with words or understanding social cues.
How Art Therapy Helps:
Speaking Without Words: Art gives a voice to thoughts and feelings that are hard to put into words. It's like having a secret language just for you.
Finding Calm: Many people with autism have sensitive senses. Art activities can help soothe and organize these senses, making it easier to relax and focus.
Handling Big Feelings: Art therapy is a safe space to explore and express emotions. By painting or drawing feelings, people with autism can learn to understand and control them better.
Discovering Yourself: Making art is like a mirror reflecting who you are. It helps people with autism explore their interests and strengths, building confidence and self-awareness.
Making Friends: Art therapy isn't just about creating alone. It's a chance to connect with others through group activities or projects. This helps build social skills like sharing and working together.
Art therapy is like a magical world where everyone's uniqueness is celebrated. By embracing the strengths of people with autism and the power of creativity, we can help them shine bright, connect with others, and navigate the world with confidence and joy. Let's keep exploring how art therapy can unlock hidden talents, foster understanding, and make the world a more inclusive and colorful place for everyone.

Unlocking Potential Through Art
Do you have a child with autism, or are you an adult with autism yourself?
Are you a parent striving to navigate the world of raising a child with autism?
Join us here, where we welcome you to a world where creativity knows no bounds and self-expression is celebrated in every stroke and color!
As a transpersonal art therapist specializing in working with children, adolescents, and adults on the autism spectrum, as well as other disabilities such as ADHD, ODD, and their families, I bring a unique blend of compassion and artistic exploration to the therapeutic journey. In our sessions, we embark on a vibrant adventure where art becomes a powerful tool for communication, connection, and personal growth.
Imagine a therapeutic space filled with laughter, joy, and the magic of artistic discovery. In my practice, we prioritize the enjoyable aspects of therapy for children, making each session an exciting exploration of colors, shapes, and imagination, while addressing their emotional and personal well-being.
Through playful and engaging activities, we tap into the expressive potential of art, fostering a safe environment where children and adults alike can freely communicate, build confidence, and navigate the complexities of their emotions.
Whether it's creating fantastical worlds on canvas, molding clay into imaginative sculptures, or dancing with colors, our therapeutic journey is a celebration of individuality and self-discovery, unlocking the transformative power of creativity for every person.
Together, we embark on a colorful adventure where therapy becomes a canvas for growth and self-expression.
Contact me today to find out more about either 1-1 art therapy for you or your child, or one of our inclusive small groups. Adult workshops coming in 2024 aim to support parents and carers navigating the world of living and working with individuals on the autism spectrum disorder.
Testimonials
David Johnson
I went to Sharon Veness Art Therapy’s Manifestations 2023 event this morning at Sharon’s Studio in Narellan Vale.
It was much more than just creating a Vision Board by sticking pictures on it. Sharon led us all on guided meditations to firstly, ‘Say Goodbye to 2022’ and secondly, ‘Enter 2023’.
Using pictures, art materials of our choice and our emotional experiences we then commenced constructing our Manifestation Boards for 2023.
It was a challenging and wonderful experience all rolled into one.
Highly recommend it. Thank you Sharon for expertise, insights and encouragement.
Tracey Mekitarian
Thank you, Sharon Veness @Creative Abundance Community for an amazing 2023 Dream Manifestation workshop this morning...so powerful!
Lorna Hollinger
Almost six years ago I engaged Sharon Veness as my business coach and Mentor, and my business has never looked back! I was determined to shift my business into a brand new space in my industry and to get all the success I wanted. It was a lot of work and Sharon helped me do this. I reached six figures in less than 3 years and haven’t looked back. Sharon’s ability to see business blind spots is incredible. Sharon’s ability to see your personal blocks is scarily accurate, but she has such a lovely manner to her guiding you to success. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her.
Miss L
I can’t thank you enough for our sessions. Australian Tapping Institute has now been born. It has an identity, and I am so confident it is now going to fly. Your help with the strategy was invaluable. I couldn’t have done that without you. Holding me accountable, well that wasn’t always pleasant, but without it, I would not have achieved what I have.
Kelly
Sharon brings so much passion for her craft and patience through this healing art that you walk out feeling like the world took a long overdue break from your shoulders. In a fun, connected and welcoming ambience, Sharon guides you through an intimate exploration of your conscious and subconscious mind while allowing your higher energies to merge in to the manifestation of holistic art. I couldn’t recommend Sharon’s holistic art sessions more strongly. I’m very grateful and excited to be a member of the nighttime group sessions. 😄🧡💜💚💓💫
Kathy
Thank you, Sharon, for an amazing session today. Allowing me to express and bring out my creativity. Such a wonderful, peaceful and enlightening journey. I recommend doing a creativity session for anyone wanting to release negativity and embrace possibility.
Melita
I did an art session with Sharon today. All I can say is amazeballs!! Thank you so much for taking me on a very special journey. I learnt so much about me in this process and I didn't think I could paint - BUT somehow something amazing transpired onto that canvas. ❤️
Mark Boyle
Attended an adult and child class with my 6-year-old.
Class was very enjoyable for both of us and she was really energetic and engaged well with all the children. Definitely recommend
Kezia Carpenter
I have done 2 art classes with Sharon now and will definitely be back. I have felt more relaxed and stress-free after each session. Highly recommend it even just for a night out.
Sharna Turner
Couldn’t recommend Sharon enough! Not only is she an incredible artist but the way she cares about her students is amazing! My daughter feels right at home in her class and I’ve seen such a huge improvement in her confidence since starting art class. 10/10
