Rain & Me. Children's Therapy is a relational, creative therapy practice in Melbourne's Inner West, offering counselling-based and art-informed support for children, parents, and families.
Learning in relationship with land, children and art.
The work here is devoted to reimagining the image of the child — within and without — and is shaped by the understanding that what we carry does not begin with us alone.
Children and adults move within families, places, relationships, and rhythms that shape how we feel, respond, and make sense of the world. When strong feelings or behaviours arise, they are often expressions of these conditions — ways of responding, adapting, and surviving — rather than signs that something is wrong.
The work here is not about correction or control. It is about relationship.
About gently coming back into connection — with self, with others, and with the wider living world — rather than asking anyone to be different from who they are.
This is slower work. It asks for curiosity, consent, and a willingness to listen closely. For those who feel drawn to this way of working, this space offers creative, relational support and steady accompaniment over time.

Sessions are art-informed and relational. We work with creative materials, play, and conversation to make space for what's happening beneath the surface.
The focus isn't on predefined outcomes or changes in behavior, but on creating conditions where expression, meaning-making, and connection can unfold.
This often resonates with children and adults who are drawn to creative processes, relational presence, and spaces where nothing needs to be managed, performed, or fixed.
