What is Art Psychotherapy?
The core creative psychotherapies are much like traditional psychotherapy except they use creative processes such as art, music, movement, or drama alongside talking to express complex thoughts and emotions.
Words can be used as a way to hide our internal worlds and feelings from the people around us and sometimes even from ourselves. Art, however, behaves quite differently and can offer us a glimpse into the deepest parts of our nature. What I seek to provide is a space where you can explore the created image that can provide an invaluable outlet for complex thoughts and feelings without the need for words.
Life can get messy, and our minds can feel the strain of trying to put on a brave face to weather the storm. Sometimes our methods of coping can fall short and we can be left feeling burnt out, overwhelmed or losing our enthusiasm for life.
What I offer is a safe, predictable, non-judgemental and compassionate environment where you are the focus. I am an HCPC registered Art Psychotherapist and can work traditionally using words or we can use creative processes such as 2D or 3D art-making, the written word or music.
The goal is for you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the multitudinal elements to your mind that may be causing you undue stress or anxiety. In this way, we can seek to change the relationship you have with the more challenging aspects of yourself to encourage greater self-knowledge and quality of life.
I work with children, adolescents and adults. Please feel free to reach out for a free consultation on 07463777113.
