Meet Veronica

Hi, I'm Veronica Bestall – founder of Vlinder Expressive Arts Therapy.
I’m passionate about helping kids and adults reconnect with their creativity, confidence, and emotional well-being through art therapy. Whether you're navigating neurodivergence, emotional challenges, or simply seeking a new way to explore your inner world, we're here to support you.

At Vlinder, our qualified arts psychotherapists work with:

  • Neurodivergent clients
  • Emotional regulation and self-expression
  • Confidence, connection, and communication
  • Trauma-informed creative support

As a registered NDIS provider, we offer flexible sessions in our warm and welcoming studio, at schools, or online – wherever feels right for you.
Because it’s not about being good at art – it’s about feeling seen, supported, and discovering what’s within.

Let’s have a chat and see where it leads.

    Visual Journaling
