**No arts experience necessary.
Expressive Arts Therapies is an integrated form of therapy using various modalities like visual art, creative writing, drama, movement and play therapy.
You don’t need any art experience to take part. The purpose of art therapy is to provide a safe and supportive space to explore and engage in the creative process.
The arts can help you to heal because it allows you to express yourself, focusing on your emotions and relaxes you.
In group settings, it can be a nice way to build healthy connections with other people and magnify the healing benefits.
Creating art to express yourself can be self-revealing and sometimes it’s just as painful as talking. So it’s perfectly okay to feel like you’re not ready for it yet. We’ll take it at a pace that’s right for you.
Often wonder why we can easily tear up when looking at an incredible piece of art or piece of theatre but have difficulty expressing it in real life? Most often, words are not enough to express what we feel. This is where the expressive arts come in.
It helps to bypass unhelpful defences and get in touch with deeper parts of our intuitive, real self. It helps us resolve conflicts, develop interpersonal skills, manage behaviour, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and achieve insight.
And contrary to popular opinion, these forms of support are used with any age group from the age of 3 years onward. Adult benefit greatly from these sessions because it helps us access parts of ourselves that we may have hidden away or find difficulty working with.
Usually a session would include a check-in to see how you are going and if there was anything important you wanted to chat about, before delving into some art-making, movement or body work. Being a trauma informed practice means that we go at your pace and work with your preferences. We then spend some time unearthing any gems that we may have uncovered during that session and how that would help us going forward in our goals.
