You don't have to be an Artist to benefit from Art Therapy and you don't have to need therapy.
Using many different forms of art expression including movement, art on paper, maskwork etc, you learn to access, express and evolve from your inner creativity and wisdom.

From that discussion we decide on a course of action.

relaxing during the session.

Art exercises
I may offer you an art exercise that I feel could clarify our mutual understanding.
You may want to change or implement something else into the exercise, or you may not want to do it at all. The choice is always yours. This is a creative process.
As time allows, or when you feel that you have fully expressed what you want to. We will discuss the artwork to clarify what it means for you.
This is not a critique, or my interpretation it is a process that aims to expand the meaning and understanding you have of yourself and your own life. My role is to help you find your own links between your art, yourself, your relationships, your life, and your spirit.
Dream expansion
If a dream comes up for you I would ask you if you want to work on the symbolic material contained in the dream.
Once again, not my interpretation, but a method aimed at fully understanding a dream in the way that you would a movie. Not just, What is the plot? What does it mean? Like a good movie dreams have many layers of meaning, themes, and images. They are a direct gift from our subconscious mind.
Client centred counselling
You may choose to do none of the above, I am also trained in client centred counselling.
Arts
My life-long passion is working in the creative arts where clay has been my preferred medium for more than 30 years. The sudden loss of a close friend in 2003 challenged me to review my life path. This drew me to study Transpersonal Art Therapy and explore my relationship with myself, with others, with nature and community.
Now as an art therapist I use my skills and knowledge to encourage clients to listen and respond to their inner knowing which urges them to live a fuller, more meaningful life.My practice has grown from following my heart and encouraging others to do the same.
Being involved with Bear Cottage as a volunteer gives me the opportunity to work with families who may never have considered exploring these interests or materials.
In my own Artwork I enjoy using different materials and unusual combinations of found objects to create meaning.
