Art In Therapy

Philosophy

Transpersonal Art Therapy enables people to explore their unconscious thinking, enhancing self-expression, through art creations to identify supporting unconscious thoughts we sometimes struggle to understand ourselves.

I have a mantra I enjoy sending out 

“Breathe in, breathe out” 

I have been in the welfare industry for the past 15 yrs.

I encourage “Small Steps” and work from an early intervention perspective with children aged 6 yrs. to parents, male and female, families and/or couples from various backgrounds.

“Small Steps” to changes.

The areas I focus on include: Anxiety, Children’s Anxiety, Mindfulness meditation, Parenting, Disabilities, Anger Management, Adolescents, Depression, Domestic Violence, COVID related anxiety, stress, trauma & bereavement & Grief counselling.

It is not necessary to “be artistic in any way”

Transpersonal Art Therapy can support you to explore your unconscious mind that can often play a part in resisting you to move forward. The use of mindfulness, art expression and some meditation can help navigate trigger points within your thoughts.

                 Listening to your story, focusing on you is the Client Centered Approach that supports "Small Steps"

Your sessions include:

Exploring the unconscious mind, discussing what comes up for you during your art therapy process (creations of your activities) 
The art process can be a scribble, paints on a page, weaving, collage using pictures from magazines, picutres offered to view which can identify triggers and enhance discussion between client and practitioner.

Various styles of meditation used: e.g., visual, stories, movements, or gentle music.

Time frame:  1 to 1.5 hours. All art equipment is provided. Online will be visuals I can offer and use of your own art supplies.

You will learn more about yourself and develop strategies to enhance wellbeing to face life’s challenges.
