About Marie Barincou, AThR

I am an Artist and a registered Creative Arts Therapist. My art practice is community oriented.

Art for me is a way of being. I engage in arts making on an everyday basis through drawing, painting with acrylic, watercolor, and gold leaf, creating with Photoshop or making prints and much more.

As a Creative Arts Therapist, the arts animate the way I interact with people and support their wellbeing and creativity.

I help people discover and develop their life purpose. With my support, you can engage in deep self-care practices.

Arts based workshops and Art Therapy sessions serve people who are:

  • Seeking a deeper meaning and purpose in life,
  • Wishing to explore arts-based self-care practices,
  • Nourish their best potential, and
  • Invigorate their creative energy.

My Art Therapy practice is multimodal. As well as using visual arts, workshops and individual sessions can include the use of drama, dance and movement, creative writing, music, sandtray figurines, visualisation and rituals

I offer individual Art Therapy sessions and creative workshops internationally through Self-Care Together.  Workshops are fun and relaxing.  They offer meaningful ways to improve your wellbeing.

Participants report clearer direction in life and at work, invigorated energy and inspiration, the discovery of a deeper purpose and meaning, and an enhanced capacity for taking care of their personal wellbeing.  

Workshops are tailored to the different needs of healthcare staff such as nurses,
registrars, medical doctors, social workers, counsellors and
psychologists.

Our sessions together can help you to:

  • clarify your needs and desires,
  • reduce stress and anxiety,
  • organise your thinking,
  • design your next step,
  • establish easy to use self-care routines

I also offer creative workshops and mentoring to artists and creators who seek an invigoration of their artistic potential, looking for new directions, struggling with a hurdle in their expression, or simply wanting to bring more fulfillment to their everyday life. 

I work internationally in English or French, face-to-face and by video, from Australia or France. My clients are based in Europe, USA, Australia, and Canada.

I am a dual French and Australian citizen.

As an Educator, I have lectured in Arts and Cultures at the Australian Catholic University.  I have also taught Coaching skills, Buddhist Meditation, Personal Development and Communication skills in North America, Europe and Australia.  Previously, I taught various Fine Arts skills such as Violin Making, Wood Sculpture, Toy Making, Photography, Graphic Design, and Drawing in France.

I also play a weird looking wind musical instrument, an EWI.   

Art and meditation are the essential pillars of my everyday life.
