ART THERAPY

Maybe words don't come easy, or there’s simply too much to say. When our inner world feels intolerable communicating painful feelings can be difficult.  Art therapy offers a gentle, soothing, and playful way to be with and explore difficult feelings, thoughts, and situations.  Art therapy is for anyone who enjoys expressing themselves through art.   Art making externalizes challenging feelings, stories, and events, while creating space to process complex emotions and reframe difficult life experiences. Making art within the safety of a therapeutic relationship fosters creativity and psychological processes to enhance mental health and emotional well being.  

All images, skill sets, and abilities are welcomed with warmth and respect.

Our soul speaks through colour, metaphor, and images. Create space to listen and the strength to respond.

BUT WHAT DOES IT DO?

  • Art making can sooth, relax, and calm the nervous system making it easier to acknowledge and sit with challenging emotions


  • Art therapy can be useful in expressing thoughts, feelings, and memories; bringing together inner sensations with external experiences to create a cohesive narrative  


  • Art therapy encourages self exploration, insight, and present moment awareness 


  • Reflecting on images within the therapeutic relationship creates space for reframing challenging situations, reflecting on personal choices, exploring alternative actions and behaviours
