more info

  • Arts-based psychotherapy

    Art therapy as self-inquiry. Explore your inner world through image-making, somatics, and metaphor. Sessions support insight, resilience, and self-expression—no artistic ‘skill’ required.

  • Coaching for creatives

    A supportive, actioned-oriented space for creatives to overcome perfectionism, reconnect to flow state, and own their authentic voice in public, via an intimate, resource-filled coaching container.

  • Therapeutic tarot

    An imaginative, symbolic self-inquiry using the tarot. Get support to deepen self-understanding, uncover alternative perspectives and paths, and reconnect with your own inner wisdom.

Who I help

  • Adults

    I work with adults (mostly women and LGBTQIA+) seeking depth, embodiment, and creativity in their therapy or coaching journey. An expressive arts-inclusive approach offers a trauma-informed path towards wholeness and meaning.

  • Teens & Children

    I offer playful, sensory, and imaginative therapy for young people that nurtures confidence and inner safety through the creative and expressive arts. Each session supports the client to find their own language for their unique experience.

  • NDIS

    Affirming online creative arts therapy for NDIS participants (self-managed and plan-managed). These client-centered sessions help to support emotional wellbeing, authentic communication, and self-expression that enlightens and empowers.

About Jerico

Hi, I’m Jerico Mandybur (AThR M.A).

I’m an author, registered experiential and creative arts psychotherapist (or just “art therapist”), and an award-winning creativity coach. My work sits at the intersection of art, soul, and psyche.

Rooted in post-modern, depth, and somatic perspectives, my approach is gentle, warm, and deeply affirming. I centre your unique lived experience, guided by curiosity, witnessing, and the creative process itself as the path to wisdom and wholeness.

What is arts-based therapy?

Experiential and creative arts therapy is a recognised form of psychotherapy that uses the present moment and the creative process—painting, collage, movement, writing, sound, gestures, and more—as a way to explore emotions and experiences that words alone can’t express. It’s not about making art that looks good; it’s about gently exploring new ways of seeing, feeling, knowing, and being. In our work together, the arts offer us a way to practice being; a somatic bridge between our historic patterns and potential new possibilities.
