Welcome to Vlinder, where creative expression meets meaningful change

At Vlinder Expressive Arts Therapy, we offer more than art activities. We provide a supportive space where children, teens, and adults can explore their inner world through guided, creative processes, especially when words don’t come easily.

Unlock Self-Discovery with Vlinder

Whether you or your child are navigating overwhelm, neurodivergence, emotional challenges, or simply seeking a new way to connect with your inner self, our sessions are designed to help you discover what’s within, and what’s possible.

  • Individual Sessions

    Personalised, creative space for children or adults to explore emotions, build self-regulation, and strengthen social and communication skills.
    Each session is tailored to the individual, weaving together art-making and therapeutic support to meet goals in ways that feel safe, engaging, and meaningful.

  • Group Sessions

    A shared space where creativity connects people. Our Creative Journaling groups, held twice weekly, nurture reflection, self-expression and connection through words, images and mixed media. Twice a month, themed workshops offer hands-on sessions to spark ideas, build confidence and support wellbeing.

  • Working with Organisations

Meet Veronica

Hi, I'm Veronica Bestall – founder of Vlinder Expressive Arts Therapy.
I’m passionate about helping kids and adults reconnect with their creativity, confidence, and emotional well-being through art therapy. Whether you're navigating neurodivergence, emotional challenges, or simply seeking a new way to explore your inner world, we're here to support you.

At Vlinder, our qualified arts psychotherapists work with:

  • Neurodivergent clients (ASD, ADHD)
  • Emotional regulation and self-expression
  • Confidence, connection, and communication
  • Trauma-informed creative support

As a registered NDIS provider, we offer flexible sessions in our warm and welcoming studio, at schools, or online – wherever feels right for you.
Because it’s not about being good at art – it’s about feeling seen, supported, and discovering what’s within.

Let’s have a chat and see where it leads.

Upcoming workshops

Our upcoming programs help children explore art, build confidence, and express themselves in a supportive space.

    Visual Journaling

    For Adults

    At Vlinder, our visual journaling sessions offer a gentle space for creative expression where each mark, word, or image becomes a way to honour your inner world.

    Through this process, participants experience a deep sense of belonging both to themselves and to the group as their stories unfold on the page. Being seen and heard through art invites reflection, connection, and self-acceptance, reminding us that our experiences matter and our voice has value.
