Dream Discovery (non-therapy)

If you are curious about your dreams, interested in creative inquiry, and feel drawn to exploring your dreams for meaning-making, this is a wonderful opportunity to delve a little deeper! It is however, not suitable for those who may be in crisis, or who are seeking acute trauma processing, or working with NDIS goals. It is important to be aware that this is not a counselling or clinical therapy session.

What is Dreamwork

In these sessions, we will meet your dream/s as a living, creative process. You might bring one dream or a recurring theme. Through arts-based processes and prompts, we are able to externalise images and feelings so you can explore them at your pace.

  • Sessions can focus on a phenomenological (experience-led) and/or a transpersonal (soul-led) approach. We will describe and explore what’s present in your dream in your own words. I do not interpret or ‘read’ your dream or artwork. If meaning emerges, it is yours and it unfolds in your own timing

  • Sessions may include somatic noticing (how the dream lands in the body) and simple embodied and imagery work.

Please note: While these sessions are not therapy, dreams can sometimes evoke deep emotions or unexpected insights. These sessions are designed to be a gentle space for discovery, with room for all kinds of emotions to arise. However, if a dream feels particularly unsettling or intense, it’s best to explore it in a therapeutic context where deeper processing can happen.

How it works

  • Arrive and settle. We will most likely light a candle and share a cup of tea.

  • Start where it feels right for you. You may wish to retell the dream, share a fragment, or you may just want to explore one image/phrase/body feeling from the dream (you don’t have to tell the whole story)

  • Creative exploration (e.g., drawing, collage, movement, imaginal dialogue)

  • Notice what stands out; choose any small next step

  • Close gently
