ABOUT TRANSPERSONAL ART THERAPY
Do I need to be an artist to have an art therapy session?
This work isn't about creating beautiful art, it's an expression of what you are feeling at the moment and a way to bring to the surface feelings and emotions that maybe laying dormant. The art is a way to communicate with the subconscious.

What is Transpersonal Art Therapy ?
'Transpersonal which literally means "beyond the persona or personal" marries psychology and spirituality.
In psychological terms, transpersonal means revealing the true self and inner authenticity.
It is a path to self-awareness and self-realization, which unites ancient and modern wisdom and offers a range of tools and techniques to explore the many aspects of our existence'

psycho-spiritual approach to counselling, considering mind, body, spirit and environment, Transpersonal Art Therapy is based on the Shamanic Model and uses the Client Centered approach where the therapists' role is to create a facilitative, empathic environment, wherein the client can discover the answers for him or herself.

These simple yet powerful techniques that tap into a clients Inner Well of knowledge empowers them with the tools they need to move forward in life.
What I enjoy about this work is that each and everyone of us has the answers within, my work as a Transpersonal Art Therapist is to assist clients to find these answers and uncover a deeper meaning of Self.
During an individual session my main aim is to create a safe space for you to enter and begin a journey of self discovery.
My work is to journey alongside you focusing to strengthen the ego and personality. The use of simple creative techniques such as, drawing, painting, collage, clay-work, meditation and body movement. Or, by simply being present for you to express what the issue is, helps to expand your awareness, developing a connection to you true essence, and purpose, where what was once unconscious can be made conscious.
