Phoenix Healing Arts Therapy was founded by Fatma Akbas, a registered counsellor, art therapist, and former registered nurse and art teacher with a passion for supporting individuals, children, and families through life's challenges.

​

Fatma holds a Bachelor of Art Therapy and is currently completing a Master of Counselling and Psychotherapy, bringing together professional training in counselling, expressive therapies, trauma-informed practice, and healthcare.

 

With a background in nursing and as an art teacher and extensive experience working with women, children, schools, hospitals and community services, she provides compassionate, evidence-based support tailored to each person's unique needs.

​

Phoenix Healing Arts Therapy offers a warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment where people can feel heard, respected, and empowered. Services include individual psychotherapy, art therapy, group programs, and creative wellbeing classes designed to promote personal growth, emotional wellbeing, resilience, and creative development.

​

As the practice grows, Phoenix Healing Arts Therapy is committed to collaborating with other qualified professionals who share the same values of compassion, respect, and client-centred care, ensuring every person receives high-quality support in a safe and nurturing environment.
