Pathway Art Therapy - Online Creative Wellbeing & Art Education

“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way—things I had no words for.”

Services

Expats Experiencing Burnout

Navigating burnout, loneliness, identity shifts, culture fatigue, and emotional isolation.

A new language (or even different humour), unfamiliar systems, career pressure, and distance from family can create a constant low-grade stress that builds over time.

Art and Art History Education

Art history and hands-on art classes bring creativity and depth to homeschooling.

Students explore artists, cultures, and techniques while building confidence, critical thinking, and self-expression.

Making learning both meaningful and inspiring.

Creative Wellbeing for young people

Emotional wellbeing looks different for every child and young person — but it often begins with expression and being understood.

Through personalised creative practices, they can explore emotions, strengthen focus, and build self-regulation in ways that honour how their brain works. Growth is about developing awareness, confidence, and a steadier sense of self.

(AThR)

I believe that a single creative moment of connection can be life changing.

I believe that when we are given the space to pause, create, and connect - even briefly - something meaningful can shift.

My name is Lou Lou. I’m a qualified art therapist with a background in visual arts, art history, and academic wellbeing services.

Today, I offer creative wellbeing support for people who want a gentler, more embodied way of understanding themselves.

A space to express, explore, and grow

I work by facilitating a creative space where you can safely express what may be difficult to put into words. This work isn’t about fixing or analysing - it’s about empowerment, reflection, and meeting yourself honestly in the moment you’re in.

My approach blends clinical knowledge with deep respect for individual experience. You are the expert in your own life; I support what you’re ready to bring into the space.

Who I am & What shapes my work

My work is informed not only by training, but by lived experience.

I hold a deep love for travel, creative expression, and connecting across cultures. I am a partner, step-parent, sister, and daughter. I have experienced loss and grief, and in 2024 I left Australia to live overseas. A transition that continues to expand my understanding of change, identity, and belonging.

These experiences shape how I show up: grounded, curious, and human.

What I offer

I provide creative wellbeing sessions using simple, accessible art-based practices.

Sessions may support:

Emotional regulation and nervous system settling
Self-reflection and insight
Reconnecting with yourself when you feel overwhelmed or stuck
Finding steadiness within change

You do not need to be an artist. You do not need the right words. Curiosity is enough, and even that can arrive slowly.

My approach

I meet you where you are, without judgement, without teaching, and without giving advice.

This work is collaborative. Along the way, we may uncover moments that weren’t planned, and together we shape a space that supports safety, curiosity, and self-discovery.

You choose what you share, and how deeply you go.

Scope of Practice

This work offers creative wellbeing support, not psychotherapy.

It is not counselling, mental health treatment, diagnosis, or crisis support.
It is designed for people who want care without pathologising, and who are drawn to creativity as a way of understanding themselves - even if they don’t consider themselves “creative.”

If you require mental health treatment or crisis care, I can support you to seek appropriate local services.
