Hey I'm Niki (she/her) the founder of Wildflower Therapies
I'm a registered arts therapist (ANZACATA), a Mindset & Wellbeing Practitioner.
I provide a healing space for girls, women & non-binary folk to share their stories & rewrite their inner narrative, where they feel heard, seen & accepted as they make sense of their experiences.
I gently guide my clients to deeply connect to their inner wisdom so they can lead their own way in their soul-aligned life.
A bit about me...
I'm a Mum to 2 beautiful souls, a partner,
an Ocean seeker, lover of a good coffee,
speaker, day-dreamer & I love a good trashy reality show (please don't judge lol).
As someone who has lived experience of depression, anxiety & overwhelm & the thing that gets me through everytime is strengthening the connection I have with myself. As a teenager through to this very day, I do it through creative self-expression. The only difference to then & now is I'm more self-aware of my needs & the power that creativity & our imagination holds.
I'm super passionate about & advocate for women to embrace celebrating themselves & to deepen the most important connection there is & that's with themselves
My Approach
Ditch burnout & overcome the cycles of trauma & anxiety to embrace a soul-aligend life of spaciouseness & ease.
I lean towards a holistic, person-centred, multi-modal approach using visual arts making, writing, photography, nature, music & movement within a therapeutic relationship to help you externalise thoughts & emotions that maybe difficult to articulate.
I lead from a place of curiosity & my hope is that our sessions guide you to develop sustainable tools to navigate life that feels deeply connected to yourself & the world around you, to discover the belief in yourself & embrace your worth.
Expressive Arts therapy...the what & the why...
For thousands of years across various cultures, people have used art for self-expression, communicating stories, & healing, which has evolved to the acknowledgment that art is an expression of a person's inner landscape.
Expressive arts therapy is an evidence-based therapeutic intervention that supports individuals with their mental, emotional & behavioural challenges & can be a great alternative to traditional talk therapy.
It uses visual art making, writing, photography, nature, movement & music to externalise our thoughts & emotions to tell our stories while unlocking parts of ourselves that words can’t articulate.
Everyone can benefit from expressive arts therapy!
No previous art experience or skills are required, instead we focus on the experience & embrace the process, rather than the final product or ‘artwork.
At Wildflower Therapies we use evidence-based holistic interventions & creates bespoke arts therapy programs for each individual.

- Burnout, exhaustion, overwhelm
