What is creative
therapy?
It is the use of creative practices and imagination alongside talk-based trauma informed therapy.
The integrative approach means we will refer to a wide selection of psychotherapy theories and art practices that become integrated through the therapeutic relationship and the counselling session. These might include; psychodynamic, Jungian, Gestalt, transactional analysis, mentalisation and neuroscience (if you want to know more about these different approaches then we can discuss).
Essentially it's about finding the best approach for you!
Types of art we might explore:
visual imagery
painting, drawing, collaging, postcards
movement
bodywork, somatic & mindfulness practices
imagery in language
poetry, metaphors, dreamwork, folklore, mythologies, story telling
sand tray
clay
textiles
The work is process based, meaning we use different creative practices to explore your inner world.
It is not an art lesson, and no previous art experience is required. You don't have to use any of the arts.
Sometimes just having a space to talk is enough. Sometimes an image might capture what you want to share. Sometimes you might want to shout, dance, move.
All is welcome.
The time is yours.
