Individual CAT Sessions

$178.00

Individual sessions offer a warm, supportive space where you can pause, reflect, and explore what’s happening in your inner world. With a calm, attentive presence, I listen deeply and support you to gently explore your thoughts, feelings, and body sensations—at your own pace and in your own way.

You may be invited to slow down, step out of everyday busyness, and connect more fully with yourself through mindfulness and creative processes. Art-making is used as a tool for reflection rather than performance or skill. By working with materials, images, and creative expression, new insights can emerge—often revealing understandings that are hard to reach through words alone.

Individual sessions can be helpful if you’re navigating anxiety, low mood, grief, heartbreak, stress, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, or questions around identity and meaning. They also support people who are neurodivergent, including autistic individuals and people with dyslexia, offering a flexible and respectful approach that honours different ways of thinking and experiencing the world.

You may also come simply because you feel drawn to personal growth, creativity, or exploring your life direction more deeply.

Through this work, many people experience greater self-understanding, increased self-compassion, emotional clarity, and a stronger sense of direction. Sessions can support you to make sense of challenging experiences, recognise patterns, express complex feelings, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.

At Taming the Tiger, you are offered a safe, compassionate space to explore what is alive in you—welcome just as you are.

How to Make a Booking

Text "Taming the Tiger" to 0413 867 998 with your name and best time to ring you in the next few days, and Lorelee Gobetti will call you back.

We’ll begin with a relaxed phone intake to get to know you, your goals and needs, and whether one-on-one or group Creative Arts Therapy is the right path for you. If it meets your requirements, feel free to use the online booking system to schedule an in-person intake session. This is where we map your current life situation in a fun, creative way.

After you have booked a session, I’ll send you a Welcome Pack with everything you need to feel prepared, including payment details, what to expect when you walk through the studio door, and a clear map showing exactly where to find the studio.

  • Sessions are prepaid to secure your booking.

    If you’re unable to attend, only $50 is retained; the remaining amount can be refunded or credited toward your next session.

  • Once you have made your booking and paid, you will receive a Welcome Pack with directions and parking information. It also includes an intake activity and form to help me learn about your current mental health, interests, goals, and the obstacles you are navigating.

  • This is a cornerstone of our work together. Everything discussed remains private unless there is a legal obligation (such as a court subpoena) or a serious concern that you or someone else may be at risk of harm. In these situations, I am ethically and legally required to act to keep everyone safe.

  • Your case notes are stored using secure cyber systems, and any physical records or creative portfolios are kept under lock and key, with video surveillance when the studio is closed.

  • With your consent, photos of your artwork may be taken and shared directly to your phone. This helps create a living record of your creative journey, capturing insights and milestones you can reflect on over time.

  • To support your child’s growth and ensure alignment, parents or guardians are invited to participate in the first intake session, followed by a 10-minute review meeting after every third session to share feedback and reflect on progress. There is a large backyard with chickens where children can play or relax during these informal chats.
