“Alex Ling is an Arts Psychotherapist who has always been deeply immersed in various forms of artistic expression.

From an early age, Alex’s path revolved around music, with a strong focus on visual arts during school and later, a rewarding career in a design house. Alongside performing in bands and musical theatre, Alex found a calling in co-facilitating music and drama in community groups, where the therapeutic benefits became evident.

Guided by a genuine desire to share the transformative power of the arts with others, Alex engaged in study and training as a Psychotherapist, employing both traditional Integrative Psychology and an eclectic range of somatic mediums, including visual art, sound, movement, drama and ecotherapy.

Through Alex’s training and experience, participants learn to expand their social skills and independence, while deepening self-understanding as they engage their creative minds. Within sessions, the absence of pressure to conform to societal expectations allows for authentic self-expression, fostering a safe and nurturing space for personal exploration, furthering abilities to engage with their world successfully, with confidence and enjoyment.

Infusing an element of fun into the therapeutic process adds a profound layer of enrichment to the experience. The philosophies of Arts based therapies and most recent evidence based neuroscience have become the cornerstone of Alex’s work.”
