Music and Art Therapy

“What does your song sound like even when it's off-key, perhaps buried under years of self-doubt and self-sabotage, making it difficult and overwhelming to find the right words or say them out loud?”

Nez Erok
Music Therapy

Everyone has their unique song, a song we are all meant to live and breathe every day. At Zen Life Counselling Nez can help you discover your voice and to rewrite your melody. That is exactly the raw beauty you will experience during this Program.

Music is one of the only things in life that has the capacity to move us in ways that words alone often can’t. A piece of music can take you on a journey that you never even knew existed.

I believe music is a universal language that allows anyone to communicate, no matter who they are or where they come from. We use music to tap into the thoughts and emotions of those who may not be able to express those ideas explicitly.

Nez Erok

The Your Song Program infuses the power of Music Therapy with Personal Growth, transforming people through the power of their own song. Nez’s approach allows clients to express emotions in ways they didn’t know they could, by using their song as a vessel in moving forward.

At Zen Life Counselling we will provide you with the tools to write your chorus, representing new beginnings and your various verses being a letting go of the past. You will choose from an array of songs and in the process create your own story.

This is an opportunity to honour your individuality through your own song.

Art Therapy

At Zen Life Counselling we believe that through art therapy people can learn, grow and heal in a healthy and engaging way.

Art therapy is an art based therapeutic approach in which art is used as a tool for communication, self-examination and healing. Art therapy can resolve emotional conflicts, increase self-awareness and self-esteem, build social skills, increase coping skills, and develop strategies for problem solving. Art therapy builds protective factors in individuals’ lives, which can lead to enhanced resilience.

At Zen Life Counselling we believe that using creativity as a means to offer you a comfortable form of communication is a great way to promote wellbeing, growth and healing. We are passionate about the benefits of art therapy as a positive therapeutic intervention.

Journey Towards Healing from Abuse

Beautiful - Behind The Scenes

Beauty Heals Abuse - Award Winning Singer Nez Erok (Hello Darlink! Ep 22)

Becoming Beautiful

Initially produced as a dance track, Beautiful has been released as an acoustic version to speak to a wider demographic. To listen to the song is to come on a journey with Nez as she prevails over oppression and domestic violence.

While writing the song required Nez to go to a dark, vulnerable place, the finished work itself is a beautiful voyage of healing towards optimism and self-belief.

The exposed lyrics of Beautiful resonate with people from all walks of life who have endured personal struggle; people that Nez seeks to help daily in her work as a counsellor and life coach. Drawing from her own turbulent upbringing, Nez provides personal assistance to youth and adults going through individual and family conflict.

In addition to Beautiful, Even When It's Cold is an equally evocative song; a personal tribute to Nez's mother and others struggling around the world.

An accomplished singer / songwriter, Nez's vast collection of music is designed to make you feel, think, and sometimes just let loose and dance.
