Serena McLauchlan Art Therapist

Twenty years a painter in the Great Southern, now working one to one with NDIS participants out of a loft studio on York Street.

​

Serena McLauchlan is an Albany art therapist and painter who runs one to one art therapy sessions for NDIS participants. She trained as an artist first, graduating from Edith Cowan University in 2000 with a BA Visual Arts Honours, and spent two decades making and teaching art around the Great Southern before moving into therapeutic practice through the MIECAT Institute. Sessions run from her loft studio behind 280 York Street, in clients' homes, or in the Well-being Pod at Albany's Historic Whaling Station.
