Emotional Origins
​ ​Art Therapy & Psychotherapy (AThR)


"Sometimes", said Pooh, "the smallest things take up the most room in your heart"
​ A. A Milne

Have you ever felt like you keep retelling the same life story over and over again without improvement or feel like you are entering a familiar cycle? Do you remember, as a very small child, using pictures and objects to communicate with? Art psychotherapy uses images and objects to access the more primitive part of the brain. This often leads to gaining new insights, meaning and understanding into emotions and behaviours. It is a way of articulating and unlocking doors to the subconscious​.

Thus, art psychotherapy is a field of psychology which utilizes creativity and the art making process to express and communicate emotions and explore inner feelings.​
​Art psychotherapy is professional health care; a form of counseling.

                   What happens in an art therapy session?

​                             The individual can choose from a wide selection of art materials to explore what they see, 
                             remember or what they imagine or feel. 
​
                             The artwork is not intended to be a product but used as a form of communication.
                             The art therapist acts as a facilitator, counselor, guide and witness ​to help the
​                             client understand 
their feelings and needs.
​                             
The therapeutic relationship is vital in providing trust, confidentiality and safety.

"It's not just about  creativity, it is about the person you're becoming while creating'  Charlie Peacock
