Embracing Change Therapies

What is Art Therapy?
Art Therapy is a form of counselling that explores creative ways to help you move through concerns, life transitions and grief. Art Therapy utilises methods of visual art, collage and other therapeutic methods to give a voice and expression to feelings and life experiences that are otherwise difficult to put into words.

How can I assist?
My goal as a Therapist is to assist my clients of all ages to gain a quality of life that is enriched with possibilities and to embrace change with more confidence and mindfulness. It is my intention for you to gain a sense of worth, feel valued and heard, and explore these feelings together one step at a time through engagement with creative experiences on offer. These are centred around your own interests, and what is resonating with you in the present moment, while we discover and clarify the issues at hand in a safe and therapeutic environment.

What can you expect from a session with Tina?
Initially we would have a discussion on the phone where I will gather some information, including if you are currently seeing a psychologist. On meeting for the first time, my aim would be to make you feel safe, valued and heard. Once the consent form is explained and signed, I may do a risk assessment to see how I can best meet your needs and ask permission to introduce myself to your psychologist so that we do not double up on anything. Art is always an invitation. The session is centred around you and what is comfortable for you at that moment. There is nothing for you to bring other than an open mind to explore your feelings and to come away from the session with new possibilities and knowing.
