Beyond Traditional Therapy

Unlike traditional therapy, Carol-Anne doesn’t adhere to a strict outline. Instead, she strives to create a nurturing space where clients can freely engage in the creative process. Whether it's painting, drawing, sculpting or even simple outdoor sketching sessions, the focus is on the therapeutic benefits of artistic expression rather than achieving specific artistic goals.

Clients often find joy and relief in the act of creating alongside Carol-Anne, whether they are processing complex emotions, navigating life transitions or simply seeking a moment of calm and reflection. The process of making art can become a form of communication, allowing clients to explore and articulate thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to express verbally.

Do I need to be good at art to participate in art therapy?

Art therapy focuses not on the quality of the artwork but on the process of creation and what it reveals about your thoughts, feelings and experiences. It aims to help you explore and understand your emotions in a safe and supportive environment.

What issues can be addressed through art therapy?
