Art Therapy Counselling in County Kerry
Beside talk therapy we may use art materials to help you express yourself.
Together, we may explore skills to help manage an acute situation. It is also possible that it is most helpful for you if we engage in a process in which you connect deeply with yourself and become more fully who you are. How we work is shaped by what you need.

I offer sessions in my art studio which is mostly glass with a stunning view.
I understand the courage it takes to enter in to therapy. My initial aim is to make a connection with you. My practice is non-judgemental, confidential and safe. My belief is you have the answers, as you know your "self" best. With my support and guidance you will start to make changes and feel the benefit of change. I listen well and at times I do not answer, I simply listen so you are heard. We will discuss your issues and look at what needs you wish to have met. We will then look at your goals, figure out how to get their and find out what's stopping you right now. Along the way we will review the positive changes you are making.

Things never have a way of working out in life as to how we thought it would. Life throws many obstacles in our path, which can be very challenging. These can cause us to question ourself, our lives and our beliefs. These can create anxiety or depression, feelings of not being able to cope. It can leave us feeling broke and feeling that there is no way forward. We loose someone we love or a relationship or job, which can lead us to grieving for what we have lost. Sometimes we just need to find the right direction for our life.

Therapy for Conscious Change.

You may be looking for some sort of change in your life. That change could be physical or emotional. My work is based on the belief that if we want to create change in our lives, we must look within. To find out who we really are, we need to go inwards, challenge old beliefs, thoughts and behaviours, which can feel like moving away from everything we’ve ever known. I help my clients to see the connections between mind and body, to identify unhelpful patterns, establish new habits and ultimately live a happier life.

I can help with many different issues as most of them stem from the same problem, repressed emotions. So whether it's addiction or relationship issues, the process in therapy is about reconnecting with the body and releasing those repressed emotions.

This may have a negative impact on the young person’s ability to transition to new experiences, develop friendships and relationships and may also contribute to academic challenges.

Grace is an an integrative, psychodynamic psychotherapist, who will incorporate elements of art, poetry, play, and improvisation to support others to make better sense of their lived experience.
Grace's practice is called "Aiteall Therapy". The word "Aiteall" (pronounced: atch - ill) is an Irish language word that describes a period of pleasant sunshine between two rain showers. Life, much like the weather, is not always bright and calm. Storms will come, and the rain will fall.

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.
