Art Therapy
As a Transpersonal Art Therapist, client care is of upmost of importance whilst providing a safe, nurturing space to create. I support my clients in a confidential, non-judgmental environment, where individuals can express their emotions and concerns through art, no matter their skill level.
By drawing on the collective unconscious and using a variety of therapeutic techniques, I support clients by accessing their inner psyche to foster emotional and personal growth. Specialising in working with children, teens, women, and groups, I believe that each person is their own best healer, and I am here to guide them every step of the way.
Transpersonal Art Therapy goes deep into what is termed ‘privileging the unconscious’ which draws upon the collective unconsciousness, an area within the psyche that is not used daily on a conscious level, and can provide you with new states of awareness. I use art materials as a way to see what lies within, enabling you to access your inner wisdom beyond yourself and your ego and draw conclusions by deciphering your art together.
Some key features of Transpersonal Art Therapy that I work closely with are utilising the qualities of the mediums, speaking of, and to the art, using the art to create a metaphor for the journey, manipulating the art as a means of altering the story, and allowing the art to provide a vector or guidance for progressing.
Aside from you creating the art I also work with an array of integrated modalities or guided imagery such as visualization, sensory accessing, movement, self-manifestation, and drawing upon any archetypal symbols that may also arise in your artwork.
Combining these modalities aids in many areas of personal development, and will assist you in stress reduction, anxiety, trauma, loss or separation anxiety, encouraging emotional and personal growth, and provide you with coping mechanisms. Art Therapy will give you a more relaxed disposition to enhance relationships with yourself and others.
I provide a safe, non-judgemental environment and I promise you no previous art skills are necessary as Art Therapy is more about the process to reach the outcome. I firmly believe as an Art Therapist that you are best your own best healer, and I will guide you every step towards you achieving your desired results.
