ArtsWork Collective is a multidisciplinary creative support practice made up of HPCSA-registered (Health Professions Council of South Africa) arts therapists.

We use arts-based, trauma-informed methods to strengthen the emotional wellbeing, relational capacity and reflective functioning of individuals, educators, caregivers, professionals and communities, including workplace and organisational contexts.

Rooted in empathy, attachment awareness and child development, ArtsWork Collective works alongside schools, organisations, and corporate teams to develop practical, context-responsive skills that support personal wellbeing, professional functioning, and relational health.

Through therapeutic services, corporate wellness offerings, training, mentorship, supervision and facilitated creative group processes, ArtsWork Collective contributes to safer, more connected learning and working environments.

All ArtsWork Collective services are:

• Delivered by HPCSA-registered arts therapists
• Grounded in evidence-informed, trauma-aware practice
• Arts-based and experiential (no artistic skill required)
• Culturally, organisationally, and contextually responsive

Services may be offered clinically, psycho-educationally, or preventatively, depending on the setting and goals.

About us

Rozanne Myburgh

Arts Therapist | Facilitator | Lecturer

Dr Faith Nonkululeko Busika

Drama Therapist | Facilitator | Lecturer

Rozanne Myburgh is a registered drama therapist, facilitator, and educator whose work is grounded in trauma-informed, arts-based practice that supports emotional wellbeing, relational capacity, and reflective functioning across individual, group, community, and organisational contexts.

Her practice is shaped by a strong foundation in attachment awareness, adolescent development, and community-based work, and she is particularly interested in how creative processes can support meaning-making, resilience, and agency in complex social environments. Rozanne facilitates therapeutic and reflective spaces that are contained, collaborative, and responsive, allowing participants to engage safely through role, story, image, movement, and embodied reflection.

Rozanne brings extensive experience working with adolescents, young adults, educators, caregivers, and professionals, and she adapts her work across clinical, educational, community, and workplace settings. She previously served as Managing Director of Lefika La Phodiso, where she led training, supervision, and large-scale community arts therapy projects, supporting both practitioner development and youth wellbeing.

Alongside her therapeutic practice, Rozanne lectures part-time in community practice and research supervision and has contributed to national-level policy work, including serving on the Presidency’s Expert Group on the Adolescent Well-being Investment Case (2024). She is also a director of Aligned: Careers | Mind | Life, an interdisciplinary initiative that integrates psychological insight, systems thinking, and creative methodologies to support young people, parents, and educators in navigating learning, wellbeing, and life transitions. As part of ArtsWork Collective, Rozanne contributes to individual therapy, group processes, workshops, training, and organisational facilitation, bringing a thoughtful, ethically grounded approach that bridges therapy, education, and systems-level change.

Faith Nonkululeko Busika is a registered drama therapist who works using arts-based, trauma-informed approaches to support emotional wellbeing, relational awareness, and personal growth across individual, group, and organisational contexts.

Her work is grounded in an understanding of attachment, identity, and lived experience, and she is particularly interested in how creative processes can support people to make meaning of their experiences, strengthen self-expression, and build connection with others. Faith creates therapeutic spaces that are contained, reflective, and responsive, allowing clients to explore thoughts and emotions safely through metaphor, role, movement, and story.

Faith has experience working with children, adolescents, adults, families, educators, and community groups, and she adapts her practice to suit clinical, educational, community, and workplace settings. She values collaborative work and often integrates drama therapy with broader multidisciplinary and systems-based approaches. As part of ArtsWork Collective, Faith contributes to individual therapy, group processes, workshops, and training, offering thoughtful, ethically grounded facilitation that centres dignity, empathy, and creative agency.
