Integrating art techniques into psychological therapy can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and self-understanding.
They help us understand what lies beneath the surface, to see our emotions expressed visually in all their rich and varied shapes and colours.
By using a combination of art forms, like painting, drawing or sculpture, we can find a safe, comfortable entry-point to talk-therapy.
This can help us turn the abstract into the concrete, exploring new avenues of thought or feeling that may not have been possible before.
Used stand-alone, or to complement guided meditations and dream work, these techniques can help engage you in ways distinct from verbal articulation alone.
