Every therapy is unique and co-created to fit each individual.
 
However below are some informations about my way of working with patients which I hope you will find useful.

ART THERAPY OR NOT?

It will depends if you want to try or use this approach or not. Some people find it useful to use just when they need to express something that words cannot (like an unclear feeling about something, a dream etc...).
Others don't like or respond to this approach at all and prefer to engage in verbal therapy only, while others benefit a great deal to use art therapy in each and every session.

WHAT IS ART THERAPY?

Art therapy is the use of art material to work through psychological contents and emotions.

The choice of medium (paint, crayons, sculpture, collage etc...) is chosen by the person to best express and represent what they want.

The art therapist will sometimes suggest themes that relate to the issue at hand and will allow to find new levels of meaning.

Art therapy is now about learning how to draw or paint like an artist, it is about letting go and letting our hands do the work.

MY THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

I refer to Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Gestalt and Existential Therapy.
