Welcome to Jaana Sahling Art Therapy

Inclusive, trauma-informed art therapy for reflection, healing, and self-discovery

At the beautiful studio at the Abbotsford Convent, in the centre of Melbourne, I offer art therapy in a calm, welcoming space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore what is present in your life through creativity.

Art therapy provides a gentle way to express thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to put into words, supporting insight, emotional clarity, and meaningful change. Sessions are guided by your needs, pace, and goals in a safe, person-centred environment.

Individual art therapy sessions are available
In-person at Abbotsford Convent, Melbourne
For adults and all ages, genders, and backgrounds

As a qualified art therapist and professional member of PACFA, I offer a trauma-informed and ethical practice grounded in both creative and therapeutic approaches.


Beyond the Studio

Alongside my studio practice, I have facilitated wellbeing programs, community workshops, and creative initiatives across a range of settings. This work has involved supporting people from diverse ages, backgrounds, and life experiences, and has deeply shaped my approach to art therapy.

These experiences continue to inform the way I hold space in my practice, bringing curiosity, care, and a strong commitment to accessibility, inclusion, and the therapeutic potential of creativity.

If you are curious about art therapy or wondering whether it might be right for you, I welcome you to reach out. You are not expected to have the “right words” or a clear idea of what you need—simply getting in touch is enough.

I aim to respond to all enquiries within 1–2 business days.

  • navigating life transitions or personal change

You don’t need to prepare anything before your first contact.


What happens next

After you get in touch:

  1. I will reply to your enquiry and answer any questions
