Creative, Compassionate Mental Health Support in Mildura
At Pelican Arts, we offer a unique blend of Mental Health Social Work and Art Therapy to support individuals through emotional, psychological, and social challenges. Whether you’re seeking practical, evidence-based strategies or creative, non-verbal ways to explore your inner world, we provide space for both.
What We Offer
Mental Health Social Work
Mental Health Social Work is a professional, therapeutic service that supports people navigating life’s difficulties. Medicare rebates are available with a GP referral under the Better Access initiative. We provide psychotherapy tailored to your goals, grounded in evidence-based approaches like ACT, CBT, mindfulness and trauma-informed care.
Art Therapy
Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy where creative processes are used to explore thoughts, feelings, relationships, and life experiences. No art skills are necessary—just a willingness to explore. Through image-making and reflection, clients can access insight, regulate emotions, and work toward therapeutic change.
Why Choose Pelican Arts?

Professional care: Services are provided by Kate Cotching, a Mental Health Social Worker and Registered Art Therapist with years of experience in both fields.
