We’re artful counsellors.
We’re creating happier, healthier humans through creative counselling.
Formerly called Rue Create, Creative Connection is all about making a better tomorrow. We dream of a world where everyone lives a happy, heartful life.
So, we’re helping young and old brighten their mental health through our artful counselling. Designed from the latest research, our programs are guided by an accredited Level 3 Counsellor. There’s no judgment and no expectation. Because the proof is in the process – you’re building your emotional wellbeing as you get lost in your creative flow. And that goes for ‘non-arty’ folk too (we see you).

Are you looking for individual creative counselling support?
One on One counselling is available by request in our Brisbane studio. In these sessions, Jen works through topics and issues relevant to the individual whilst creating an artwork.
