Angela Kirby
Languages Spoken:
- English
I have over 20 years’ experience in private practice as a Transpersonal Art Therapist and Counsellor working with adults and children in the mental health field. I have vast experience in conducting workshops (over 300) both privately and within the public sector, centred on emotional health and well-being.
I have worked in the field of addiction counselling in two private business’s, one for 12 months as Second in Charge Art Therapist and Counsellor, and the other I contracted as a Transpersonal Art Therapist. As we are often working with multi-generational family dysfunctions, education is an important part in understanding root causes. Supporting those with addictions to move forward in their lives, without the endless victim continuum is a worthy journey.
At Cambridge International College, I lectured Administration, Communication, Co Ordinate the Workplace, Developing New Networks, Reflect and Improve upon Professional Practice, Meet Statutory and Organisational Information Requirements, Occupational Health and Safety and Policy courses as part of the Community Welfare Diploma. I also incorporated a variety of creative exercises as a means of showing ways to deal emotional well-being.
I am a visionary artist of over 50 years with 10 solo exhibitions and over 100 group exhibitions and currently have work hanging in the Hunab Ku Healing & Meditation Gallery Adelaide 2024.
I am a published Author and currently working on further writing and creative health and healing projects.
I am a practicing Yogi of over 25 years with a daily practice of Ashtanga Yoga and meditate daily as a means of inner health.
Through personal experience of living through the ups and downs of life, tragedy, love that the many stages that we go through, I have compassion, empathy and wisdom to be there for others. I have studied many modalities which aid those in their life journey and come from the creative ventures where I first began my healing path. Experiential learning and life's experience have lead me to work on myself's inner healing and help and be there for others.
