Thank you, Lucian, for this beautiful print. “Find Your Hive” feels like such a gentle reminder that belonging is both instinctual and relational. The bee, small, purposeful, interconnected, speaks to collective care and shared resilience. I love the movement in this piece. It feels hopeful and grounding at the same time. Grateful for the wisdom you carve into your art. Find @lucent.flow work here: https://linktr.ee/lucentflow #lucentflow #findyourhive #queercommunity #linopr

This Mad Mattr set with Lego style moulds is one of my favourite tools right now, playful, regulating, and quietly powerful, supporting focus, emotional expression, and problem solving through squeezing, shaping, stacking, and rebuilding, and through choosing when to connect, pull apart, or start again without needing words. A beautiful hands on way to think, feel, and regulate at any age. Found here: https://amzn.to/4c15er4 #madmattr #playtherapy #creativetherapy #sensorypla

WHEN SOMETHING CALLS FOR ACCOUNTABILITY Not everything needs a response. Some things need responsibility. 1. Name the issue • What happened? • Who was affected? Be specific. Avoid assumptions. 2. Check safety • Is anyone unsafe right now? If yes: prioritise protection and support. If no: continue. 3. Know your role • What is actually yours to address? • What isn’t? Accountability depends on role, not volume. 4. Centre impact • Listen to those affected. • What outcomes are bei

Neurodivergent, by Nature is an engaging mix of memoir, neurodivergence education, and nature writing. Harkness writes with a grounded and thoughtful voice, occasionally punctuated with humour, moving from honest reflections on mental health to small moments of absurdity that provide levity without undermining the subject. Some of the language used around neurodivergence surprised me, as it did not always feel entirely neuroaffirming, but the book still creates a reading expe

“I painted this box black on the outside to represent the front I put on when I meet people. Even though I’m a people pleaser, I put up a tough exterior. Inside, I chose a purple glittery colour because I can be eccentric, but that depends on how I am feeling. There are a few things on the inside that are on the outside, as I know some people see me how I feel about myself.” This participant gave me consent to share #insideoutsidebox #creativeandexperientialtherapies #artisth

Today is World Day of Social Justice. Social justice is not just about treating everyone the same. It is about recognising that people start from different places and making sure everyone has what they need to thrive. That is what equity means. Because one size does not fit all. It includes addressing systemic barriers, listening to marginalised voices, and working towards fair access to health, education, safety, and opportunity. Change does not happen overnight. But it star

These transparent geometric solids are one of my favourite tools right now, simple, tactile, and quietly powerful, supporting exploration of boundaries, relationships, and internal states through noticing edges and space, and through choosing, stacking, separating, or combining forms without needing words. Oh, and rainbow ordering of course! Found here: https://amzn.to/4bIVoJZ #geometricsoilids #learningresources #therapytools #creativetherapy #therapyforallages

MANY OF US AIM TO CREATE “SAFE SPACES” And that intention comes from care. But safety without accountability can become a place where harm goes unnamed, patterns go unchecked, and growth stalls. Accountable spaces don’t mean harshness. They mean honesty with compassion. Boundaries with empathy. Repair instead of denial. They ask us to stay present, even when it’s uncomfortable.

“This artwork emerged from a supervision session and reflects the experience of translation fatigue in a neurodivergent context. The layered upper form holds complexity, depth, and multiple ways of knowing, while the downward flow of the paint reflects how energy can be gradually drawn out through the repeated need to translate internal experience into dominant professional language. The piece does not seek resolution, but offers space to reflect on capacity, sustainability,

This book is a gentle and affirming picture book for children aged 3 and up. It explores how children experience and interact with the world, celebrating that every child is unique. Some children are talkative, some prefer quiet. Some enjoy movement, others enjoy stillness. All of these ways of being are valid and valuable, and differences are important and meaningful. The illustrations by Inge Daniels bring the story to life. Children are shown engaging in a variety of activ

Aro Week 2026 runs from February 15 to 21. Aromantic people experience little or no romantic attraction. Aromantic identities exist across a broad spectrum, including aromantic, greyromantic, demiromantic, and questioning experiences. Aro Week is about visibility, education, and celebration. It is a time to recognise that romance is not the default, and that meaningful connection, care, and belonging can take many forms. We celebrate aromantic lives and affirm that all ways o

Ankylosing spondylitis breaks me from inside. Marrow burns, spine clenches, vertebrae grind in the dark. Pelvis locks, shoulders weld, neck rusts. Each twist chisels bone. I curl, black ink on bleeding red, a seed splitting open, not to bloom but to bleed. Yet my pulse stitches the wound, one beat at a time.

Regal focus from the softest seat in the studio. Shōga is alert yet intent, he rests along the back of the couch, tail spilling like silk while bright eyes track the world beyond the studio window. Comfort becomes composure here, the room held still as his attention stays fixed outside. @shoga_cat on the studio couch #shoga #shōga #shōgacat #therapycat #therapistcat

“Art therapy is helping me to reconnect with the kid that used to have so much creativity, and express that more frequently, leading to a much stronger sense of self. That kid was dinosaur obsessed - heck, adult me still very much loves them! Dinosaurs were my earliest special interest slash hyperfixation, so when Rae said they had polymer clay… Well, what else was a dinokid supposed to do? Ceratopsians are my favourites, but wow do I love a good sauropod too, and building on
