A safe space to talk, to make, to think and to feel.
The way you tell your story can make all the difference
Creative psychotherapy is for anyone who is curious. Creativity is universal. It is instinctual. And it is necessary for our wellbeing regardless of our age, life stage or situation. You don’t need to have experience of either therapy or creative practices to start.
In therapy sessions there will be space to talk. Some sessions may only involve talking - many clients work this way. But you will also have the opportunity to make, to move, to do - to express yourself through images, story, your body. You don’t have to, but you can.
Therapy is a place where we can get to know ourselves and our challenges better and, through that understanding, begin to make meaningful change. Working creatively can bring greater perspective and help you reflect deeply. It can help you shift understanding and become unstuck.

Creative psychotherapy can be beneficial for a wide range of issues, including, but not limited to:
Depression and anxiety
Relationship difficulties
Trauma and abuse
Grief and loss
Identity and self-esteem issues
Through the work of creative psychotherapy you will have the opportunity to grow greater self-awareness and a deep understanding of yourself. Better understanding your patterns, behaviours and problems can help you shift perspective and make meaningful change in your life. Through this work you can improve the most important relationship you have - the one with yourself. It can offer you a space to listen to yourself - to become more you.
Many clients begin therapy to seek help with a particular problem, but the grow to use the therapy space and the therapeutic relationship as an ongoing tool for processing and self-reflection. Therapy becomes a practice - like yoga or meditation - where they take time out to come back to themselves: to pause and reflect.
