Art therapy
How does it work?
Art therapy can promote growth and healing beyond traditional talking therapies.
Each session you will be welcomed into the space and given an opportunity to share an intention or concern, then invited to choose materials to express any thoughts or feelings.
Using the art materials to explore emotions and feelings can guide you into the subconscious parts of the brain supported by the qualified therapist.
The Therapist will not interpret your art, but will guide you to discover the hidden meanings in your artwork.
The last part of the session the therapist with discuss the art work within a counselling context to help clarify your intention or concern.
Following my philosophy, Jalling the Drom, I will walk the road less travelled with you. Both physically and metaphorically. Using the innate healing properties of bushwalking and art making I will guide you through the dark times toward confidence and growth.
