CREATIVE ARTS COUNSELLING 

Creative arts counselling uses techniques from play and art therapy and is an approach which I use alongside talking therapy so is more suitable for older children, young people and adults.

​

Creative arts counselling can access thoughts and feelings outside of our conscious awareness. When things are difficult to talk about creative therapy can help to access these feelings safely.

​

You don't need to be artistic or creative to express yourself in creative arts counselling. I will use items such as pebbles, buttons, projective/emotions cards, or use media from magazines and postcards. We can use art materials like paint, felt-tip pens, crayons, pencils or pastels. 

I work according to the needs of the individual, so I try to tailor my approach as required.
