So what is Art Therapy?

Art Therapy is about giving people, children and adults, a creative route through which, guided by the therapist,they can shed new light on the challenges and obstacles encountered on one’s life’s journey and find hidden resources in
the soul for courage and healing.

   The process of making art is more valid than the produced work and no skills are needed. Often art history, poetry, myths and fairy tales are used as a resource.

          The pathway of
the soul which may have brought on the condition of dis-ease is also the pathway of healing and comfort, of awakening and renewal. It may be the colours of the rainbow or the form-building in clay that is chosen; each person’s journey is unique.

       Working individually

or in a group the aim is to bring integration and wholeness in body, soul

and spirit. Qualities of appreciation, understanding and joy in life are thus fostered.

Who can it help?

Do you identify with any of the following?

- Stressed in the workplace
- Lost my self-esteem
- Tired all the time
- Can’t make sense of my life
- Now I’m retired, what now?
- Asking “Is this all there is?

Are you trying to cope with any of the following?

-Chronic illness
- Bereavement issues
- Depression or anxiety
- Life crisis
- Family problems
- An unhappy child

If any of these touch a chord in you, Art Therapy could provide a safe environment with caring guidance in which to explore and find a healing pathway through your own creative source.

In a group setting or one-to-one sessions, through conversation
and the “doing”, light
can be brought to these and many other obstacles to a life fully lived.

Art for health and well-being

I also run courses and workshops for adults which aim to bring us more in touch with our life path, Nature and the Cycle of the Year, the Celtic Festivals and the elemental world.

See Events for details

Who Else Can it Help?

Do you work in a Support Network such as:

- Day Care

- Hospice

- Autistic Spectrum

- Care for the Elderly

Whether one to one or in a group, Art Therapy can be a vital toolfor brightening peoples' lives; bringing self-esteem,motivation,and

a sense of self-worth. Specific themes can also ameliorate particular conditions, physical, mental and emotional.
