Learning in relationship with land, children and art

Rain & Me. Children’s Therapy is a relational, creative therapy practice in Melbourne’s Inner West, offering counselling-based and art-informed support for children, parents, and families.

The work here is devoted to reimagining the image of the child — within and without — and is shaped by the understanding that what we carry does not begin with us alone.

Children and adults move within families, places, relationships, and rhythms that shape how we feel, respond, and make sense of the world. When strong feelings or behaviours arise, they are often expressions of these conditions — ways of responding, adapting, and surviving — rather than signs that something is wrong.

The work here is not about correction or control.
It is about relationship.

About gently coming back into connection — with self, with others, and with the wider living world — rather than asking anyone to be different from who they are.

This is slower work. It asks for curiosity, consent, and a willingness to listen closely. For those who feel drawn to this way of working, this space offers creative, relational support and steady accompaniment over time.

What This Space Offers

Counselling-based and art-informed therapy grounded in relationship, creative inquiry, and respect for difference.

Sessions are strengths-based and relational in nature. Rather than moving toward predefined outcomes or changes in behaviour, the work attends to the conditions that allow expression, meaning-making, and connection to unfold.

Change is not pushed or directed; it is understood to emerge through continuity, care, and relationship.

This way of working may feel different from more structured or outcome-driven models of therapy. It often resonates with children and adults who are drawn to creative processes, relational presence, and spaces where nothing needs to be managed, performed, or fixed.
