Counselling isnt always about talking.....art can be a powerful tool in healing, music, poetry, dance, painting, can all express what we sometimes struggle to find words for.
Journalling either with words or creative collage/imagery can be a great way to process emotions, and it doesnt have to be shared.
Being an artist myself I often encourage my clients to find their inner creative, we often find our inner child in amongst the creativity....😊

👆 Masterpiece - 'A work of outstanding artistry, skill or workmanship.'
Work in progress - 'An unfinished project that is still being added to or developed.'

We can be many things at any one time, I work with all aspects of self living harmoniously together, reducing internal conflict and inauthenticity.

Feeling lost?, disconnected?, enlmotionally dysregulated?
Talking therapy helps to reconnect to the self....emotional regulation and compassionate enquiry are often prominent in the way that I work, noticing and giving space to our internal voice can be a powerful healing process.
Our therapeutic journey is as individual and unique as we are. ❤️

We may often revisit a theme in counselling numerous times, each time gradually reconnecting with the self. There can often be power in the retelling of a story, it allows for a space to reframe the narrative and explore and challenge the character we have been playing for so long.

Something I often use in sessions is the phrase "I wonder what that may be like for you to sit with that feeling?.", this is often met with "what do I do with it, how do I make it go away?".
Sitting with.....is a powerful tool, it encourages us to really explore, to learn to regulate and to becme more familiar with 'that voice', which often quite loudly berates oneself.
Choosing just one of these points above may be the catalyst needed for positive movement.
Emotional regulation is something I work with often.....and 'sit with that feeling' is often an empoweringl force in creating positive change.

This rings particularly true for those living with chronic health conditions such as fibromyalgia and ME.
Resting is an important part of recharging....it is not being 'lazy', it is essential in ensuring a healthy body and mind.

The healing is in the letting go.....the weight of what we carry can often feel overwhelming, leading to anxiety, stress, depression.
Counselling offers an environment in which you can work through letting go of some of that weight....or at least put it down for a little while.

Who doesnt love a certificate?. A huge achievement for me....I am an artist first and foremost, and a counsellor a close 2nd, but art has always been therapy for me for as long as I can remember, and so to now be trained in using art in therapy, is something quite special. I have already witnessed the power of the therapeutic use of person centred creative arts during my training with clients and am pleased to be able to offer this to enhance the therapeutic process. If creative therapy is something that might benefit you....please do get in touch.

Art as therapy can be one of the most powerful ways to quickly connect to implicit material. When facilitated by a trained professional, it can help support the process of healing, self awareness and change. Art in therapy is not about skill in creativity, its about connecting to your inner self, tapping in to that which is often unspoken. With non interprative facilitation it can be a way of healing, an experience of connection, and an alternative way to communicate without words.

The process of therapy isnt linear, it can be a journey of fluctuating emotions, feelings of progress followed by feelings of stuckness...it isnt an easy straightforward 'fixing' process, quite often because there is nothing to 'fix'. Therapy is about growth, movement, self awareness and self care.....at whichever pace is most comfortqble for you. It isnt a race to get to the end, its a journey of which there is no end, we let go of old patterns and grow into a new way of being.
