You don’t need any artistic skill or experience for Art Therapy – in fact many people coming for therapy haven’t drawn or painted since childhood. Part of the art therapist’s job is to help people over their apprehension about starting, so they feel confident and safe enough to use the art materials without familiar judgements about whether images are ‘good’ or ‘bad’. If you feel you ‘can’t draw a straight line’, there are many other ways of playing with different materials. Everyone can express themselves through art in some way – it is a natural, though sometimes under-developed, human activity.
I offer brief (10 sessions or
less), medium (10 – 30 sessions), and long-term contracts, depending on need and circumstances. Each session lasts 1 hour, though some people
prefer longer when making images.
