Lucian Marine - Art Therapist at Creative Circles (they/them)
Manaali is a knowledgable, professional and insightful Art Therapist and group facilitator. I have witnessed them deliver therapeutic activities and hold group spaces with deep consideration, care and warmth. They bring a vast array of therapeutic tools and activities which cultivate a participants own sense of self awareness, empowerment, and efficacy. Manaali has a collaborative and culturally responsive style that provides an open and accepting therapeutic environment. I would happily work with Manaali again to design and facilitate Art Therapy programs.
Shrika Charbhe - Counsellor at Headspace, Brisbane (she/her)
Watching Manaali facilitate an art therapy workshop was wonderful. She has such a gentle and calming presence and made each participant feel welcome and heard. I learned a lot about group facilitation, engaging and interacting with participants, and art therapy through Manaali. Looking forward to seeing more of her work out there!
