About Elspeth
Elspeth Robertson is an Art Therapist who offers thoughtful, creative, and body-based support for children, youth, and adults. She holds a Master of Counselling Psychology in Art Therapy and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, and is a Registered Canadian Art Therapist. Her work is grounded in the belief that healing happens not only through words, but also through creativity, play, and connection to the body.
Elspeth brings over six years of experience working individually and in groups across schools, non-profits, integrative wellness settings, and private practice. She integrates art therapy with somatic approaches, play-based techniques, and ecopsychology to support clients in ways that feel natural, accessible, and non-judgmental.
She specializes in working with deeply feeling children and anxious youth who may experience intense emotions, physical symptoms such as stomach aches or headaches, or pressure to be the “good kid” or “perfect student.” These children often struggle to put their feelings into words or appear to be coping well on the outside while feeling overwhelmed internally. Elspeth creates a space where kids can be kids, using art and play as comforting, familiar tools to express themselves, build resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies.
Elspeth also works with women experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, and perfectionism. Many of the women she supports feel caught in cycles of over-giving and over-extending, often losing touch with their own needs, creativity, and sense of self. Through art therapy and holistic counselling, Elspeth helps clients slow down, reconnect with intuition and values, and gently move away from the pressure of constant achievement.
Her approach emphasizes curiosity, compassion, and creativity, honoring the body’s wisdom and each client’s unique pace. Elspeth believes that healing does not need to be rushed or forced, and that art and creative expression can open pathways to insight, regulation, and authentic self-connection when words fall short.
