Sylvia Dawon Kim

CLINICAL CREATIVE ARTS THERAPIST

Sylvia is a Creative Arts Therapist who brings a warm, person-centred, and trauma-informed approach to working with children. In sessions, she follows a child-led approach- letting creativity guide the pace and direction of the work, so children have space to express themselves and build trust in a way that feels safe and natural to them. Her practice aims to help children develop emotional awareness and regulation skills, and to foster healthier, more meaningful relationships with themselves and others.


Sylvia has experience working with cancer survivors/patients at hospice as well as children & students at primary schools, community organisations & outreach groups.


She holds a Master of Arts in Creative Arts Therapy (Clinical) from Whitecliffe (First Class Honours) and now co-teaches the part-time Creative Arts Therapy Master's programme there. Known for her calming presence and deep listening, Sylvia is committed to helping children feel understood as their creative confidence grows.
