Art Therapy Taster Session

Service Description

The sessions are relaxed and informal, with some talking and explaining from me and also the opportunity for you to engage in some art making, in whatever medium you chose. I can be as directive or non-directive as required and the content can be tailored depending on what you want to get out of it. Art therapy comprises of both “therapeutic art” and “art psychotherapy” and these taster sessions aim to give some sense of both these aspects. Some people might want to learn more about art psychotherapy and have a taste of what this form of therapy might be like (without having to share too much or make any commitment). Some people might just be more interested in learning how to use their creativity to support and improve their wellbeing. For example as an exercise in mindfulness or as a way to express and understand your emotions and feelings. And some people might be interested in pursuing art psychotherapy as a profession, in which case I can share more information about this. Whatever your aim or interest, I can personalise the direction of the session to suit you. And any artwork you make is yours to take home afterwards.
