A lot of the work I do overlaps and intersects with the modality of Creative Art Therapy. I didn't realise this for a long time, so when I connected with Hayley McCann, founder of Art for Big Feelings, so many things started to align!

Hayley is a genuinely authentic soul who uses creative arts therapy to empower busy-brained humans to live bloody lovely lives.

As someone who grew up labelled the "too sensitive" kid, art has always been Hayley's trusty sidekick - a way to safely express, make sense of and feel all the feels.

Now, after over a decade as a teacher, artist, coach and therapist, Hayley guides you to explore and disrupt patterns through gentle curiosity and delightfully weird and wonderful artmaking.

Based on the mid-north coast of NSW, Hayley is all about sharing art's ability to cultivate self-acceptance. With warmth and just the right amount of awkwardness, she'll help you take bold action towards your dreams through expressive artmaking that feels weird but really good.
