Service Description
What is Art Therapy and what to expect in a session? Seeing and Art Therapist is like going to see a psychotherapist or counsellor but instead of only talking to express yourself and uncover meaning a creative expression used as part of the session. A creative expression through an artistic method enables a person to access deeper parts of the mind that you may not yet be aware of and is extremely beneficial to getting to the heart of the issue. Art Therapy can be used to manage mental health problems like anxiety and depression as well as navigate difficult life circumstances such as the loss of a loved one, divorce, emotional issues, loss of life direction and trauma. Art Therapy can help you to gain a better understanding of your current circumstance which may reconcile difficult emotions, promote self awareness, develop social and interpersonal skills. Through creative psyhcotherapy you may solve problems, reduce anxiety and stress as well as help with self esteem It can also help find a bigger meaning to bring a greater sense of purpose to your life. The way communication works in a session is client centred counselling which enables you to express yourself free from judgement. Client centred counselling is a non diagnostic therapy where you are seen as a whole person aside from a mental illness and are met with empathy and kindness. The counselling component of the session is used to find out which art therapy process would be best and most relevant to your circumstance so you may safely express yourself. After the you have completed the creative expression the Art Therapist will then work with you to uncover meaning with what has been created so as to assist with greater understanding. At the conclusion of the session the you may take there art work with them or be given exercises they can do if you wish for further reflection and tools for coping with circumstances in the future. The Transpersonal nature of this art therapy also enables the you to connect with any spiritual beliefs if you have them and encourages you to explore those meanings and ideas.
