Healing through  Art

When there is no word,

colours and images help to tell your stories

About Art Therapy

Art psychotherapy, also known as art therapy, is a mental health profession that uses creativity and visual art to support emotional expression and healing. When you or your loved ones are going through challenging moments, it is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed or to struggle to put feelings into words.

In art therapy, making art offers a gentle and safe way to express and explore what is happening within. Without the pressure to “find the right words,” working with art materials becomes a form of non-verbal communication — allowing emotions that may have been pushed aside, silenced, or difficult to name to be seen and acknowledged. Art brings the unconscious to light through a gentle and compassionate presence. 

 

You do not need to have any art skills or experience. What matters is a willingness and openness to engage with the process. As an art therapist, I offer a supportive and attuned space, guiding you in finding materials that feel right and in gently reflecting on what emerges, at your own pace.

My Services

Every journey is unique. Walking alongside individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences, I am offering a reflective and creative therapeutic space to support expression beyond words, at a pace that feels safe and right for each person.

Art Therapy

for Adults

As adults, we often carry many responsibilities and expectations, leaving little space for our own needs and feelings. Art therapy invites you to gently turn inward, approaching your inner experiences with curiosity and compassion. Working alongside an art therapist, you may begin to shine light on your inner strengths, find your voice, and reconnect with what feels meaningful to you.

Art Therapy

for Children

Play is a natural way for children to learn and communicate. Art therapy offers children and adolescents a safe space to express and process what happened to them in a playful and creative setting. Young children who have yet developed a broad vocabulary or adolescents who find it difficult to share their thoughts and feelings can use art as a tool to communicate and build resilience to overcome difficulties in life.

Workshops &

Corporate Wellness

Workshops and corporate wellness sessions offer a reflective and creative space for individuals and teams to pause, release stress, and reconnect. Through guided art-making, participants build self-awareness, strengthen team connection and explore challenges with creativity and fresh perspectives.

Who Is This For?

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, caught in ongoing conflict, or struggling with self-image, you are not alone. For some individuals, this may show up as emotional exhaustion, irritability, or withdrawal. These experiences can feel heavy, confusing, or difficult to put into words.

For children and teenagers, this may appear as nightmares, separation anxiety, anger, withdrawal, or challenges in friendships.

If someone find talking therapy intimidating, art therapy offers a gentle and supportive space where your hands can do the 'talking', without the pressure to find the right words. This can be supportive for individuals across different ages and life experiences, from children to older adults.

Through the process of making art, you are invited to be curious about what is happening within — allowing a deeper understanding of what lies beneath your emotions. This creative process supports self-awareness, emotional regulation, and a growing sense of empowerment and trust in yourself.

Art therapy may be helpful for individuals experiencing:

  • Stress, overwhelm, or emotional exhaustion

  • Anxiety, fear, or persistent worries

  • Anger, frustration, or emotional outbursts

  • Low self-esteem or challenges with self-image

  • Difficulties in relationships or social connections

  • Life transitions or significant changes

  • Experiences of trauma, grief, or loss

  • Living with medical conditions

  • Mental health challenges such as anxiety or depression

  • Neurodivergent experiences, including challenges with emotional regulation
