Creative counselling, coaching and connections for colourful minds
Helping neurodivergent people shift from fitting into the world to building a world that fits them
Sensorium offers neurodivergent-friendly creative counselling, coaching and consulting that centres creativity, identity, connection and self understanding and acceptance.
Blending evidence-based counselling, art psychotherapy and coaching with lived experience, creativity, curiosity and a little humour. Rather than trying to fit you into a world that wasn't designed for your brain, we help you understand and normalise your experiences, work with your strengths and create a life that honours your unique sensory, social and emotional needs — so you can feel more connected to yourself and the world around you.
Based in Melbourne and available online across Australia, we provide individual therapy, therapy groups, neurodiversity coaching, creative workshops and community meetups for people of all ages - supporting neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ communities to heal and connect through creativity.
Creative therapy & workshops at Sensorium
Sensory friendly social spaces and meetups and art jams for neurodivergent folk; Creative workshops for kids and adults of all abilites, and therapeutic groups designed to empower and connect people through shared lived experience, shared interest and creativity.

Our ADHD / AuDHD Coaching isn’t about fixing you — it’s about getting to know your brain, accepting its squiggles, and learning how to work with it, not against it. A flexible blend of ADHD coaching, lived wisdom, and therapeutic insight that is actually interesting!
Our online and outreach sensory-friendly art therapy and counselling centres individual needs, strengths and interests and is the perfect therapy for those with communication and sensory challenges
Let’s Work Together
Sensorium Creative Therapies is led by registered counsellor and art therapist Rachel Taplin, who brings over 15 years of professional experience supporting neurodivergent children and adults, alongside a lifetime of lived experience as an ADHDer herself. Rachel is passionate about creating spaces where neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ people feel understood, celebrated and connected, because healing doesn't have to happen alone.
