Counselling and psychotherapy - can help with a range of emotional and psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, obsessions, childhood trauma, abuse, substance misuse, low self esteem, loss of direction, irrational fears, eating distress, relationship issues and many others.
About my practice:
I came to being a practising Integrative Arts Psychotherapist as a result of reaching an impasse in my work as a Personal Development Facilitator with varied client groups.
I had begun to notice there was a richer vein to be mined when clients spoke of their experiences through metaphor or when paper and paints were introduced into the setting.
I have found that through the use of the arts clients are able to express difficult and buried emotions and thus discover new ways of uncovering parts of themselves that have otherwise been inaccessible.
Once this process has begun, it becomes easier for feelings to be accessed through creative expression thus bringing them from the unconscious to the conscious realm. This enables a dialogue to take place that could not previously be accessed through regular therapeutic methods.
As an Integrative Arts Psychotherapist I provide different creative modalities, which can be used either exclusively or progressively through different mediums to suit each individual client.
My integration of theoretical concepts includes:
Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, and Jungian Theory. I provide art experiences and materials including: Sandtray and Objects, Paints, Clay, Oil Pastels, Bodywork, Movement and Sound. I also encourage the use of the Imagination and Metaphor. I facilitate movement or a dialogue with the image to explore and reveal a bridge between the conscious and unconscious worlds held within.
