As a transpersonal art therapist, I offer to guide on your unique journey inwards to explore your inner landscape and find empowerment.
In a typical session, we begin with guided meditation, tailored to your specific issue, activating the parasympathetic system, and allowing you to connect with your subconscious. This is followed by a 5-10 min creative expression, bridging the conscious and subconscious minds. Finally, ample time is dedicated to unpack and integrate the newly found insights.

No artistic skills are needed to experience the positive effects Art Therapy can offer.
Art Therapy is a form of counselling that incorporates art materials providing a platform to express feelings and emotions creatively with no judgement or biased opinions, where words alone are difficult to express the key worries and concerns. Most importantly, the Therapeutic process is always guided by your feelings and what feels comfortable for you.

You might feel overwhelmed by daily stress, anxiety, or your child is struggling with intense emotions and self-harm. ADHD may have you facing an endless stream of thoughts that keep you up at night, lacking confidence in yourself, or staying chronically busy.
Wouldn't it be nice for the constant feeling of overwhelm to finally stop? Or to see your child enjoying themselves again?

Relationship troubles? Wondering if anything or anyone could help? You may be feeling alone, and doubtful - full of worry, guilt or shame at being here. But hearing more anger or blame as you withdraw emotionally only prolongs the problem & often makes things worse. It's lonely being in a relationship where the other person no longer feels 'present'. Ignoring the problems doesn't work, rather it pushes them underground where they fester. At this point you may be feeling raw, stressed, isolated, fearful or disillusioned. Tears & frustration one minute, anger the next. If rekindling love and connection is important to you, let's talk.

Art Therapy Counsellors
How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.
Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.
How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
