Stuart Jeanfield is a Creative Art Therapist. He grew up immersed in a world of theatre, visual arts and music and believe they hold a powerful connection to our emotions and memories.

Stuart also worked across a number of different fields, including building and project management, festivals and events, front of house and the service industry to name but a few. He is a dad, a partner, and a volunteer at the local community garden. Stuart is a regular guy who’s worked through addiction, raised a neurodiverse kid and dealt with his own mental health issues.

Stuart believes his lived experience allows him to meet and connect with all people from a place of empathy and understanding. His style of art therapy explores emotional patterns and how people experience life. When we understand our emotional patterns we begin to understand ourselves more fully. And when we understand ourselves we can begin to heal and move forward with a greater sense of self.

Stuart has an emergent and explorative style and love introducing a wide variety of different artistic styles in his sessions as a way of finding the right fit for the individual. He comes from a multi-disciplinary background of music, visual art and performing art and tend to instinctively draw on any of these styles that best suit the sessions. Stuart looks to promote curiosity and enjoyment in the participant by offering an enjoyable place to interact, with a focus on process over outcome.

Stuart is located in Melbourne’s Northern Suburbs and available for home visits throughout the Melbourne region. His practising days are Monday & Tuesday from 9am -6pm and Wednesday 9am – 2pm. Sessions outside these times may be arranged upon request if time is available.
