Art as a tool for awareness, self-exploration, and joy.

Our mission is to help you connect back with yourself through art. Whether you're feeling stuck in a rut, going through a hard time and would like gentle support, or simply want to find the joy in your life again, get in touch, and let us support you on this journey.

Creative self-expression

Emotional Resilience
"Before a child talks they sing. Before they write they draw. As soon as they stand they dance. Art is fundamental to human expression."

Whether you come for 1:1 counselling support, or join us in one of our workshops, you'll see that the arts are at the very core of everything that we do.

Our 1:1 sessions are a mix of talk therapy and arts therapy. To experience art therapy in a group format, come for our Deep Dive sessions that are and explore how the creative process can help you uncover deep-seated aspects of yourself.

Alternatively, join one of our Creative Pause sessions to experience the joy that comes from immersing yourself in a state of creative flow—a space where time ceases to exist, and to-do lists fade away quietly. You’ll find yourself letting go, playing with the art supplies, and becoming really present.

Hi, I'm Shub!

As a certified Expressive Arts Therapy Practitioner and Counsellor, I’m here to support your journey with expertise and empathy. My path to being a mental health practitioner was a scenic one — via a decade-long corporate IT career and art. Now, I'm committed to helping people discover their strengths and their innate capacity to heal and thrive.

My journey

At the tail-end of a good decade working in IT, art beckoned, and I spent 100 days consecutively making art, documenting little joys, and re-kindling a childhood love affair. Along the way, I fine-tuned my art skills to become an illustrator, used art as a way of self-care and began to facilitate workshops on Art journaling. I've designed and hosted sessions for companies like Google and UniLever.

Over the past decade, I’ve realized childhood dreams, including becoming a published author, and creating Slowing Down, an art journal for mindfulness. In the Covid times, I've also run Slowing Down Circle, a global online monthly gathering for art journalling.

Now, as a Certified Expressive Arts Therapy Practitioner with a degree in Counselling Psychology, I’m excited to build Canvas of Calm—using art for play, presence, and healing.
