Art therapy is a powerful tool for self discovery - identifying challenges, reflecting, creating goals, exploring strategies, experiencing, getting into the action..... The relationship that an individual built with the right professional is key for uncovering and healing one's self. Through the art making and the discussion, the relationship flourish and so do you. Individual seek the help of an art therapist because they are looking for something creative. They want a special connection and they want to be activated in a unique and colourful environment. They want to feel and discover freedom.
My spacious art studio offers a special space to be who you want to be. There is no judgment and no preconceive techniques or ideas that needs to be followed. In order to freely explore, the studio offers various art material to explore with. You are free to pick and choose the tools and the mediums that will facilitate your communication and exploration.
There is no immediate need to be an artist to find art therapy beneficial. The first step is to book an appointment in order to explore first hand what this unique and creative perspective have to offer. By making marks on paper to creating strokes on a canvas, you will feel the liberation of pent-up energy. You will then find some peace.
