About Rachel Besser, Art Therapist
Rachel Besser is a licensed art therapist dedicated to guiding individuals through creative expression as a path toward healing, self-discovery, and personal growth. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communication, a Masters of Art Therapy and is a qualified Sandplay Therapist. I specialise in using art as a therapeutic tool to help clients explore emotions, overcome challenges, and unlock their full potential.
As an art therapist, I believe in the transformative power of creativity. Art-making allows individuals to communicate in ways that words often cannot, offering a unique space to process complex feelings, uncover deep insights, and foster self-compassion. I work with people of all ages and backgrounds, supporting those navigating a wide range of life experiences such as trauma, anxiety, grief, stress, relationship challenges, and personal transitions.
My approach is client-centred, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I integrate various art mediums and techniques tailored to your needs and preferences, ensuring that each session is a meaningful and empowering experience. Whether you're seeking relief from emotional distress, working through a specific issue, or simply exploring your creative side, I am here to support you every step of the way.
She is available for face-face sessions in her beautiful Katoomba studio, nestled in her beautiful Blue Mountains studio, and offers zoom appointments as well. She also offers group sessions, workshops, and creative retreats designed to cultivate connection, creativity, and self-expression in a safe and supportive environment.
If you're ready to begin your journey of healing through art, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule your first session.
Rachel is a wedding and funeral Celebrant, a face and body painter, a facilitator of women’s circles and a devoted mother of 4 children, alongside 33 years of dedicated experience in the field of self-healing and therapeutic practices. She resides in the beautiful Blue Mountains, NSW.
