Jenny van Proctor - ROZELLE

Dip Transpersonal Art Therapy

BA (Hons)

Cert IV Workplace Assessment and Training

Member of ACA

Jenny enjoys working to assist people to live and work with a greater sense of well-being and empowerment.

She has a passion for using creative ways to help people explore, understand and synthesise experiences and issues that are concerning in some way. Whether positive or troubling, these issues can be a window to a deeper awareness and knowledge, which can heal the soul and inspire a more meaningful life.

Jenny encourages people to use materials such as paper, crayons and scissors to create marks, images, patterns and words that describe something about what is happening in their life. These might arrive knowingly or spontaneously in the session. This will lead to certain further explorations, understandings and insights that help to resolve and make sense of what was previously hidden and not known. This process has the power to improve your sense of self, energy levels and sense of well being.

Jenny works with people who are looking for ways to express feelings and thoughts, who need healing and nurturing, who are facing life transitions, who have reached a roadblock in their lives, who are keen to find greater creativity and playfulness, or who wish to be involved in a contemplative activity that nourishes their soul.

  • Myth, Dream Work
  • Ritual

'The Journey'
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice-
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!”
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do ...

Holistic Counselling and Life Care

There are times in life when we feel alone even though there are people around us. Times when we just dont seem to have anyone to turn to or talk about what we are feeling, and it seems like nobody understands. Maybe you feel disconnected to life, yourself, others or something important to you. Sometimes life seems like it's all too much. Counselling can help you regain your balance, energy and direction

Sherree Maniks - HARBORD

Dip. Transpersonal Art Therapy


Life is too short to be anyone other than your true self. When you are doing the thing that makes your heart sing, life becomes a delectable feast of experiences that brings peace and joy to you and the lives that you touch. 

So how does one access this "true self" you might ask?

A creative way to access your true self is through the world of Art Therapy and Sherree Maniks is a passionate advocate for people to live their life to its potential, moving beyond their fears, to be doing what they were born to do.

Sherree uses a a client centred approach in her sessions which allows one's innate wisdom to bubble up to the surface during creative expression. This is where the real magic lies, where emotion meets courage, the inner critic meets acceptance and fear meets love. There is no prerequisite to be artistic in anyway, just a willingness to participate, explore and follow your inner guidance. It is only in your inner world that you will find the truth of who you are. As Marianne Williamson says:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure"


One can explore any life issue in the safe, healing space that Sherree creates using a range of art therapy processes such as drawing, painting, myth, journaling, ritual, meditation, dreams and more. Whether you are young or old, male or female, child or teenager, all that is needed is desire and the courage to take the first step. 

Sherree has a special interest working with children on the Autistic Spectrum or with a 'dis'ability these children have so much to offer the world and Art Therapy is a powerful ally where verbal language, socialisation and imagination are challenging.

Sherree runs workshops for women's groups, children and youth and can specifically tailor a workshop to your group needs. She is availalbe for individual sessions at Harbord Homeopathy Clinic in Brookvale on Mondays and Thursdays and offers a discount to CCM students during their studies.
