Creative Arts Therapy offers a way to multi-modally explore and communicate your thoughts, feelings, emotions and experiences, using all arts forms, such as painting, clay, movement or sound/music. In Creative Arts Therapy, we focus on the process of arts making rather than just creating a piece of art. No artistic skills or ability are required to participate in creative arts therapy. Arts therapist, Janel Gibson, works from the principles of Intentional Peer Support and the MIECAT form of Inquiry. These include valuing lived experience and considering individuals as experts of their own lives. Instead of telling you what you should do in each situation, Janel will walk alongside you to come to a place of meaning and making sense of something that holds value or significance for you. Arts therapies can help people to resolve conflicts, develop interpersonal skills, manage behaviour, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and achieve insight. Using the arts to explore the unknown allows for space and distance from topics that feel
emotionally charged and thus provides an invitation to ‘stay with’ discomfort in a safe way.
As everyone has their own ways of being and doing, the Arts Therapist will work together with the client to create a safe space to attend to what arises. Services:
- Individual Sessions
- Group Program
- Wellbeing Sessions for businesses/community groups
