1:1 Creative Therapies

We all experience pain & suffering - whether it be physical, emotional, psychological or spiritual pain. Sometimes our pain becomes unbearable or impacts our day to day life in ways that aren’t beneficial to us. Humans yearn to be free from pain but sometimes it can be difficult to know the best way to set it free. There are many beneficial modalities available however I am passionate about providing support specifically focusing on Creative Expression.

Creative Therapies involve various modalities of therapy that encourage creativity as a way to:
- explore, express & understand our emotions, fears, dreams or challenges
- learn about ourselves & how we respond to life’s experiences
- transform our pain and suffering into treasures that benefit us ie. insight, forgiveness, love, joy, peace, humility, purpose

I specialise in Sandplay Therapy & Art Therapy.
Play is often incorporated into sessions which can include lego, puppets, storytelling, dancing, drumming, & exploring in nature.
These are used as tools to help us during your sessions to express yourself, learn, build rapport and to regulate your emotions.
Some fun facts are in the photo slide below.

These creative therapies are beneficial for all ages - children, teenagers & adults - for any issue.
Sessions are individually tailored to reflect a person’s age, neurodiversity’s, previous trauma etc.

All feelings are our friends - wanting to be acknowledged. Step 1 is noticing the feeling, step 2 is naming the feeling, step 3 is deciding what to do with that feeling! Behind me is our gratitude wall. We sometimes finish our sessions with writing down something that we are grateful for to close the space.

Sandplay Therapy is a Jungian form of counselling. Symbols are chosen from a shelf to create a scene. The creator & therapist then explore the symbolism of how this relates to a person's life. The scene will show the presenting issue & a solution.

You may wonder if you need to be 'good at art' to do art therapy. In my opinion, all art is good art. Art therapy is about expressing yourself with colour & shape - with no judgement. You may be surprised with what your piece has to say!
