How it works
Say hello to the creative process
To come to art therapy, participants do not need to practise art or be “good” at art. Art therapy is not about making you proficient at art, although a common outcome is that participants come to see themselves as much more creative, artistic people.
During a session, a variety of therapeutic arts modalities are offered and tailored to client’s specific needs and art making desires. Art therapy is not a one size fits all approach. Each session is sensitively focused on bringing forward the personal expression and story of the client to support a better understanding of themselves and the world in which they live. In sessions I may introduce 2D art making (paints, markers, pencils, crayons) and 3D art making (sand, modelling clay, masks, crafts and installation), movement, role play, mask work, dream work, to name just a few. All modalities and materials are offered and clients are supported to engage playfully, rather than working hard for the “right” outcome.
In art therapy, you can’t get it wrong!
