The Art therapy Client

The art therapy client does not need to be an artist or have previous artistic experience. What is needed is a desire to explore your experiences through alternatives to verbal exploration. For some clients, words are not sufficient or are inexistent to describe your experiences.  As your therapist, I will assist you in your creative journey, finding the medium that allows you to explore or further develop on your individual journey towards mental health and wellbeing. This approach can be particularly effective for clients who feels stuck or cannot talk about their difficulties; using the body in an active process of creation can work as a bridge between becoming aware of the physical feeling of emotions and a mental understanding and processing of those feelings.
