About Soft Circle

Soft circle was founded by Emily Byrne, an experienced clinical art therapist, yoga teacher, and counsellor. Emily offers individual therapy sessions, and is also passionate about supporting communities through creative wellbeing and connection. 


Emily has spent many years working with individuals across the lifespan in mental health inpatient facilities, schools, community settings, and through the NDIS. She believes that wellbeing, vitality, and mental health do not exist in isolation, and grow in communities that feel connected to each other, their natural environment, and their sense of creativity.


 She is also passionate about bringing creative workshops to workplaces, helping organisations and their people to feel connected, supported, and inspired in their work. 


Emily holds a masters degree in mental health, and has designed Soft Circle's evidence-based programs to expand mental health treatment beyond individual therapy therapy and into our communities.
