Season 1 -Ep.12 Rae Sabine - Arts Therapist (Australia)
Hi, I'm Rae (they/them) and I'm an Arts Therapist, Psychotherapist, and Supervisor. I am non-Binary with a lived experience of Neurodiversity and Chronic Illness. I am very passionate about Disability Rights, the LGBTQIA+ Community and Mental Health. I am also vegan and love animals. As a supervisor, I offer strong knowledge and experience in supporting LGBTQIA+ and Neurodivergent folks, including Gender Identity exploration, and can support you also to create a more affirming and inclusive practice.
When working therapeutically, I use person-centred, strengths-based, and peer-support approaches to assist individuals to access their internal resources and building their resilience. I have received the Graduate Diploma in Therapeutic Arts Practice from the MIECAT Institute and the Bachelor of Arts Psychotherapy from the IKON Institute. I facilitate in a multi-modality capacity, offering other art expressions such as narrative, music, drama, and dance. I have memberships with ANZACATA (Australian Creative Arts Therapies Association), ACA (Australian Counselling Association), and AusPATH (Australian Professional Association for Transgender Health). I have also done Professional Development Training in a range of Psychotherapy Modalities such as IFS (Internal Family Systems Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), and Rhythms and Regulation with Dr. Cathy Malchiodi.
I have experience working with a broad range of clients, from neurodivergent young people to elderly people with dementia. I also have facilitated Arts Psychotherapy workshops for female, trans, and gender-diverse youths at Amplified Victoria (AKA Girls Rock) and for staff members at DFFH (Department of Families, Fairness and Housing). Now I work with clients through the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme), the DHHS (Department of Health and Human Service), and Private Practice. Before this, I was a group facilitator and offered helpline support for Family Drug Help at SHARC (Self Help Addiction Resource Centre). I also have worked as a disability support worker. My background also includes over 10 years working in Graphic Design and as a result, I am passionate about incorporating digital technologies into therapeutic spaces and my practice.
