Art therapy for individual clients

I have been working individually with clients for three years using an art therapy approach. The most popular issues I deal with are anxiety, overwhelming feelings, problematic relationships and existential crises. I also have sufficient theoretical knowledge and practical experience of working with grief and trauma, but in this case, as in any other case of high psychological distress, I recommend longer-term treatment, either by myself or/and another qualified mental health professional. Art therapy, because of its metaphorical and indirect nature, is ideal for working safely with such difficult issues. Creating art fully involves our subconscious and conscious minds as well as our bodies. This provides an excellent opportunity to make progress with psychosomatic symptoms and pain, which is also one of my favourite applications of the method.

FAQ

🔸 You need to prepare art materials. After a free consultation, having done preliminary work at your request, I will send you a list of the most suitable materials and a list of alternatives too. These need to be purchased and prepared for the session.

🔸 For the session, find a comfortable, quiet place where you will not be disturbed.

At the session we:

🔸 Discuss the enquiry and your current condition.

🔸 Conduct a preliminary mini-technique or meditation.

🔸 Carry out the main art therapy technique aimed at solving the enquiry.

🔸 We discuss the resulting work and I ask questions which help you move forward.

🔸 If necessary and if desired, we modify or supplement the work and again we discuss what has been done.

🔸 If necessary, we carry out additional or finishing techniques.

We discuss what you are left with after the session and our impressions of it.

After the session, I recommend putting the resulting artwork in a prominent place for a few days to benefit from all the realisations it can bring forth. These can also be shared with me by correspondence. I will provide support and suggest techniques to work on your own if necessary. You can also share with me topics you would like to work with in the next session.
