About Me-Alison Lacy

 

With more than 28 years of experience in Community Services and arts-based therapeutic programs, I bring a unique blend of creative practice, clinical knowledge and community engagement to my work.  My career began with a deep personal connection to the creative arts, which evolved into formal studies in Visual Arts and later a Bachelor of Arts Psychotherapy.

I have delivered Creative Clay Workshops across sixty schools and community groups and have worked extensively in remote communities throughout the NT, NSW, and QLD. 

I have worked with clients of all ages experiencing a wide range of physical, emotional, and psychological challenges. My professional experience includes supporting children and foster carers in out-of-home care, in Youth Detention Centres, Healing and Wellbeing Centres for AOD rehabilitation programs, Mental health settings and Women's shelters.

My practice is grounded in the belief that creative expression fosters healing, empowering individuals and strengthening community connection.  I am committed to providing safe, person-centred support that honours each client's story, autonomy and cultural identity.
