The making of art is by its very nature healing, drawing on the innate creativity that resides within each of us.
Imagery acts as a bridge between inner and outer worlds, making visible and expressing that which might otherwise remain invisible and unexpressed.
Art therapy moves beyond words, allowing expression through images whether in paint, collage or three dimensionally. Intuition and insight are accessed through art making and the created image becomes a doorway, offering a mirror for reflection and discussion, allowing new understandings and new possibilities to emerge.
An art therapist will support and facilitate your image making process and help you to discover and connect with your creative potential for healing.
