Eclectic Approach: Creative counsellors do not adhere to a single therapeutic model. Instead, they draw from a wide range of approaches, including Integrative, Person-Centred and Psychodynamic. This flexibility allows them to tailor the therapy to each client’s unique needs.

Process Over Perfection: Contrary to common misconceptions, clients do not need to be creatively skilled. The focus is on the process of creation, not the final product.

Subconscious Healing: Creative approaches work at a subconscious level, making them effective even when clients are not consciously aware of the problem. Whether it’s painting, moulding clay or using figurines in a sand tray, the therapeutic impact lies in the act of creation.

Enhanced Communication: For those who struggle to express themselves verbally, creative activities provide an alternative channel for communication.

Deeper Exploration: Clients can delve into issues that may be hard to put into words. Whether it’s anger, grief, or complex emotions, creative therapy allows exploration beyond the surface.

Holistic Healing: By integrating creative processes, clients engage their minds, bodies, and emotions. This holistic approach promotes healing on multiple levels.

Creative counselling is suitable for a wide range of individuals, including those dealing with:

Trauma and PTSD

Anxiety and Depression

Relationship Challenges

Self-Exploration and Personal Growth

Creative counselling invites clients to step outside the confines of language and embrace the transformative power of creativity. Whether it’s painting, sculpting clay or creating worlds in the sand, these expressive acts become bridges to self-discovery and healing.
