Experiencing difficulties, challenges and trauma are part of life. By denying the effects of these experiences or trying to avoid them we can entangle ourselves in patterns of suffering. Having experienced my own challenges, I know how this feels. Art therapy, also known as art psychotherapy, uses the creative process to express what may be difficult to put into words, so that you can explore what arises in the present moment and begin to live the life you want. This takes place within the safety of a therapeutic relationship guided by a code of professional conduct and ethics as laid down by the Irish Association of Creative Art Therapists.                              

 

Artwell offers a choice of creative avenues as a means of support for your mental health and wellbeing. You do not have to be good at art or even consider yourself creative as there is no wrong way of approaching your own therapeutic process. I will work closely with you, or your child in a compassionate and safe way at a pace that suits.
