A group for 16-18 year olds who are struggling to feel comfortable in a group after some experience of being bullied. After some one to one sessions with me to build up self confidence, the next stage is to join a group and practise these skills in a safe environment where a facilitator keeps things on track. The main aim of the group is to feel a sense of belonging building up trust and gradually feeling safer to be yourself sharing what’s happened to you with other people who’ve been through similar experiences and feeling accepted.

Family Constellations is an approach to help us find peace and reconciliation with the members of our family, or anyone with whom we are closely related. We learn to understand the underlying cause of any relationship problem, and discover how we are connected to the collective energy field of our family, culture or country, and how traumas of past generations still influence our lives and the decisions we take.

Often, we may feel isolated with our problems, believing that no one truly understands what we’re going through. One of the greatest advantages of group therapy is the sense of connection it fosters, bringing together people who face similar challenges. Realizing that we’re not alone, and that we can also provide support to others, can be deeply comforting and empowering. Other key benefits of group therapy include: • Peer feedback and encouragement • Learning healthier coping strategies • Expressing feelings more clearly • Developing effective communication skills • Receiving emotional support • Offering support to others

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.
