Art Therapy

Art Therapy is used to express unexpressed emotion. Designed as a non-verbal tool to facilitate the expression of self, and transforming any emotion that is keeping the client ‘stuck’.

I use Art, in the form of water colour, oil pastels, sand play, and clay, as both a diagnostic tool and a tool for healing. Diagnostic, to see what is going on for the client to be able to see how it is impacting their life and healing, to help them release and express what is stopping them from moving forward.

It provides children and adolescents a really safe way to explore their world. To express and transform negative emotions, reduce stress and diffuse anxiety. Art Therapy helps them feel empowered and gives them the ability to develop self-regulation and resiliency.
