Art psychotherapy is a form of emotional and psychological support, which in addition to dialogue, also uses creative expression for therapeutic purposes.
​
Individual Art psychotherapy invites you on a journey within yourself, promoting relief from emotional suffering or mental confusion, helping you process and overcome difficult life periods and emotions, on the path to personal growth and positive life changes.
​
The art psychotherapy sessions are a private space to reflect on yourself, your needs and goals. It is a space that aims to allow you to express yourself freely, develop a better understanding about yourself and learn healthier and more effective ways of dealing with your personal difficulties, relationships and day-to-day life.

Art psychotherapy is an important tool for those who wish to understand themselves better and develop personally at a deeper level.
​
You may feel lost or confused, struggling to understand what you're feeling or what you want to do in life. In these circumstances, feelings of sadness, anger or dissatisfaction with life, can arise for no apparent reason. In art psychotherapy these emotions and experiences are explored both through talking and creative expression, for an healthy expression of feelings and thoughts which are difficult to communicate through words.
This work focuses on relieving emotional discomfort, raising awareness and changing limiting patterns, developing a better self-understanding, creating healthier and more effective ways of dealing with your personal difficulties and begin to create positive life changes.

In person or online, therapy is a private, confidential and safe space to share deeply personal and sometimes difficult stories, thoughts or emotions.
Online art psychotherapy is based on the same therapeutic process as therapy in person, but it is important that you have a private and confidential space dedicated to therapy where you feel safe to talk comfortably without interruptions. This allows therapy to happen in the privacy of your own home or chosen location.

As a psychotherapist, I encourage the expression of emotions and experiences that are difficult to put into words, through images and other forms of creative expression.
​
Creation in psychotherapy is a doorway to parts of ourselves that need to be expressed and recognised, opening pathways to emotions, thoughts, and experiences that might otherwise remain unconscious.
​
Bringing light and compassion to these parts of ourselves can be very liberating and help in our healing process. Although it is not mandatory, you might be surprised at how this process can aid in your journey of healing, self-knowledge, and personal development.
