What do art therapy sessions involve?

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” ― Lori Gottlieb, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed

  1. Creative Expression
    • Unleash your inner voice and explore your emotions freely in a judgement-free zone.
  2. Permission & Empowerment
    • Give yourself permission to reclaim your power and live authentically.
  3. Creative Process
    • Discover the power of diverse materials to unlock deeper self-understanding and well-being.

The therapist introduces a wide range of art materials, like paints, clay, pastels, collage elements, and more, tailoring the selection to the client’s interests and therapeutic goals.

These materials become a bridge to unlock different avenues of self-expression and exploration.​

The therapist provides gentle guidance, offering prompts or themes to spark exploration, or allowing for free creativity, whichever empowers the client most.

Throughout the process, the client is encouraged to explore the meaning and reflections that emerge alongside the art making.​

The therapist facilitates a discussion centered on the client’s artwork, gently encouraging them to reflect on thoughts, feelings, and experiences sparked during the creative process.

The artwork itself becomes a tangible window into the client’s inner world, offering valuable insights and avenues for further exploration.

Through this process, clients can gain a deeper understanding of their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours, potentially identifying patterns or themes that impact their well-being.​

Taking the first step to seek help can feel daunting, but the rewards are immense. It allows you to make sense of your inner world and the world around you, ultimately creating space for you to thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I participate in art therapy even if I’m not good in arts?

Yes, you don’t need to be artistic to benefit from art therapy! It’s an experiential approach that uses a variety of creative materials to help you explore yourself on a deeper level.

Is art therapy only for children, or can adults benefit as well?

There’s a common misconception that art therapy is only for children or those with special needs.

In reality, art therapy is a powerful tool that can benefit individuals of all ages and backgrounds, promoting well-being across the population.

Do you interpret/ read my artwork?

Art therapy utilises a guided process to facilitate discussion between the client and therapist about the artwork created.  Importantly, clients play a central role in assigning meaning to the symbols and imagery within their creations.  With the therapist’s support, this exploration can lead to a deeper understanding of the client’s inner world and experiences.

Through this process, clients may choose to make changes to their artwork, further reflecting their evolving perspectives and navigating life transitions.

Can you tell me more about how confidentiality is protected in art therapy sessions?

Your Privacy and Safety Are Our Priority:

Confidentiality: Art therapist adheres to a strict code of ethics that ensures the privacy of your sessions and artwork. You can discuss your concerns openly and honestly without fear of judgement.

Limited Exceptions: There are rare situations where confidentiality may be limited, such as if there’s a risk of harm to yourself or others. Your therapist will discuss these exceptions with you beforehand.

If you have any questions or concerns about confidentiality, please don’t hesitate to speak to our therapist. We are here to support you in a safe and secure environment.

Do you prescribe medication for my clinical diagnosis?

Art therapists are not qualified to prescribe medication. However, they can collaborate with other mental health professionals, such as psychiatrists, who can address medication needs if appropriate.

While we cannot prescribe medication ourselves, we can help you navigate the process of seeking medical advice. If medication is a consideration, it is recommended that you seek medical consultation from your GP or polyclinic for further evaluation and prescription, if necessary.

Finding the right fit therapist for yourself?

Here’s what to consider when choosing an art therapist:

  • Qualifications: Look for a therapist with a master’s degree in art therapy or a related field, and ensure they are registered with a reputable professional organisation.
  • Language Spoken: Choose a therapist who speaks your language fluently to ensure clear communication and a safe space for expression.
  • Supervision: Inquire about their ongoing professional supervision to ensure they maintain best practices and ethical standards.
  • Area of Expertise: Some art therapists specialise in working with specific issues like anxiety, trauma, or relationship challenges. Consider if their expertise aligns with your needs and goals.
