FAQ
Answers to common questions about art therapy and singing.
Emily Lloyd Smith AThR
I am an art therapist and vocal coach with over a decade of experience in therapeutic practice and education. I specialise in creating safe spaces for vulnerability and growth, offering both art therapy and trauma-informed singing lessons from my Marrickville studio or online.
I am person-centred and flexible in my approach, meaning no two sessions look exactly the same. Although I take my work extremely seriously, I make space for humour and fun in the therapy room (lots of space).
My special interest areas:
Attachment trauma
Grief and loss
ADHD/autistic women (questioning or diagnosed)
Relationship therapy
Parent coaching and support
Chronic stress and burnout recovery
Singing after trauma, anxiety or abuse
My practice incorporates:
Visual art therapy
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT)
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
Attachment-based therapy
Trauma-informed practice
Neuroaffirming care
About me
Moving up from Melbourne 10 years ago, I now live in the Inner West with my husband, toddler, two stepsons, two dogs, two cats and two fish. I grew up with a queer parent and have lived experience of ADHD and PMDD. I sing in a band and enjoy bushwalking, shark movies and taking on elaborate gingerbread projects.
Crumpet and Toast
Therapy dogs in training
Crumpet and Toast are very good boys who come to work in the studio most days. They are always ready to greet clients (AKA their best friends) with delight before settling down for a snooze. They are great at sitting with people experiencing dysregulation, sadness or distress and will never say no to pats.
Crumpet is a 4 year old kelpie X pug X chicken nugget who has a lot of concern in his eyes and a lot of love in his heart. He particularly enjoys presenting people his toys and wagging his tail with a full body wiggle.
Toast is a cuddly 2 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with a sweet nature and zero common sense. He is the neurotypical member of the pair, navigating the world with confidence and delighting in new friends and experiences. After two months without a haircut he is indistinguishable from a sharehouse carpet.
We understand dogs aren’t for everyone - Crumpet and Toast will only attend your session with your prior consent.
