Art Therapy

Sessions and activities

Art as therapy?

In art therapy you will find a space where you can express yourself freely beyond words. It offers you a channel for your emotions, your inner world and your creative self. The art materials and the safe space, help you transform that which needs to be strengthened or healed.

Materials.

While you are interacting with materials, textures, colors, or you are simply gliding a piece of charcoal on top of a piece of paper while you are creating shapes without any preconceived ideas, your internal emotions and thoughts become externalized without relying on the use of words. In the sessions you can always choose freely the art materials that help express yourself in the moment and in this totally informal, free and unique way of expression, feelings and thoughts take on recognizable form.

Observing and acknowledging is an important part in art therapy, as it helps you gain awareness and to experiment with the changes you need to generate. The art materials, the creative processes and the therapeutic relationship – within a safe and trusting place – help you to communicate, to express, to experiment, to play, to imagine, to try out, to discover, to accept, to change, to reaffirm and to value while you are transiting in your therapeutic journey towards a greater well-being.

Profession.

“Art therapy is a profession with more than seventy years of history and its practice follows a methodology under a defined therapeutic framework. This is based mainly on art therapy theory, analytical psychotherapy, psychodynamic theory and contemporary art theory.” (www.arteterapia.org)

How do i work?

I like to accompany people in an inspiring environment, where they feel safe to express themselves freely through the use of art materials. I base myself on the fundaments of psychodynamic psychotherapy -which is a method of therapy without pre-established ways of working, but is rather adapted to individual needs.
For art therapy you do not need to have previous experiences with art making, nor do you need to know how to draw, since each person has an innate and unique ability to express themselves through art.

In the art therapy space…

you will find available a wide range of artistic materials that you can freely choose from: found objects, recycled material, clay, drawing material, paper, paint, magazine cut-outs, fabrics, wires, among many others. Therapy formats may include: drawing, sculpture, installations, collage, photography, creative writing, painting, mixed media, among others. It is always you who chooses freely the format, the materials and the themes that you need to address.
I accompany the creative process from a place of deep respect for each person’s needs. Creative and therapeutic processes are unique and need a safe space and a trusting therapeutic bond to facilitate this personal, profound and transformative process.

Sessions are held individually or in groups, face-to-face or online. The therapeutic objectives and the duration of the therapy are adjusted according to the needs of each person and/or institution.
