About us

We are an art therapy organisation based in Kgotsong, Free State, South Africa. We provide counseling, psych and diagnostic assessments, child protection, community programmes and advocacy using art-based methods.

Approach

From community rooms to quiet studio corners in Bothaville we guide survivors, caregivers and young people through gentle, hands-on sessions that centre safety, choice and expression. We use art-making, brief assessments and shared reflection in Sesotho, English or isiXhosa to map strengths, risks and practical steps between meetings, keeping pace with the client and their support network. Sessions move at a steady, respectful rhythm—creative work, spoken processing and connection to services—so those affected by violence, disability or caregiving demands find clear pathways forward.
