PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC EXPRESSIVE ARTS COUNSELLING
for young people aged 6 - 18 years
​
Our sessions are founded upon the understanding that self expression, creativity, movement, mindfulness and art making can lead to positive change and personal growth. Research has proven that art helps us process experiences and emotions, build strength, heal and connect.
​
It is especially effective for children and adolescents who do not yet possess the ability to make full sense of their feelings, their world, who they are and how they want to express themselves and move around within it.
ACCELERATED TRAUMA TREATMENT
​
This therapy allows children, teens and young adults to process traumatic event(s) and move forward from Post Traumatic Stress. This treatment was developed in partnership with children and young people from the ground up and it has since been used successfully with individuals of all ages.
​
This therapy integrates CBT principles, integrative arts methods and takes a children's rights approach to treatment. It allows for the direct psychological processing and cognitive re-scripting of traumatic memories in a manner that is contained and proven to be effective.
​
I also take a holistic approach to treatment to facilitate sustained recovery meaning that this treatment is importantly incorporated into a traditional counselling framework. Counselling can be read more about on the Expressive Arts Counselling page.
