Koka Art Therapy
“A compassionate art therapy practice where people are supported to make sense of their experiences, strengthen emotional regulation, and rediscover their inner resources through creative expression.”
“Hi, I’m Angela. I’m a registered art therapist with a background in the medical field and a passion for creative therapies. My practice offers support through an arts-based, trauma-informed lens that values neurodiversity and is rooted in safety, creativity, and connection. I enjoy using the experiences of my Tongan/Australian upbringing to inform my relational skills as an art therapist.”

Art therapy is an evidence-based technique that combines art-making with psychotherapy to enhance mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It helps individuals express emotions, reduce stress, and explore their inner selves, fostering self-discovery and personal growth in a supportive environment. This holistic approach addresses various psychological issues and promotes relaxation and mindfulness.
