Creative Wellbeing Sessions are gentle, supportive one on one sessions that use art making, creativity, reflection and conversation to support emotional wellbeing, self-awareness and personal growth. Sometimes it can be difficult to put what we are feeling into words. Creative expression offers another way to slow down, explore our thoughts and feelings, notice patterns and reconnect with ourselves. You do not need to be artistic or have any previous art experience. These sessions are not about creating a perfect artwork. The focus is on the process of creating and what you may discover along the way.

 

How can Creative Wellbeing Sessions help?

Creative Wellbeing Sessions may support people who would like to:

• explore thoughts and emotions through creativity
• develop greater self awareness
• understand personal patterns, habits and responses
• find healthy ways to express difficult emotions
• practise calming and self regulation strategies
• build confidence and self compassion
• reconnect with creativity and play
• reflect on life experiences and personal challenges
• explore personal values, identity and goals
• create space to slow down, reflect and reconnect with themselves

Depending on the individual, sessions may include drawing, painting, collage, clay, creative journalling, mindfulness, breathing and grounding exercises, reflective activities and gentle conversation.

 

Every person is different, so sessions are shaped around the individual rather than following a one size fits all approach.

 

A Complementary Approach to Wellbeing

Creative Wellbeing Sessions are designed to complement, rather than replace, medical, psychological or mental health care. If something arises that is outside my professional training or scope of practice, I will always encourage you to seek support from an appropriately qualified health or mental health professional.

 

Professional Membership

I am a professional member of the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT). IICT is an international professional membership body supporting complementary therapy practitioners across more than 35 countries. IICT promotes professional and ethical practice within the complementary therapy industry. Its Code of Ethics places particular importance on client welfare, confidentiality, professional integrity, practising within one's level of training and competence, and referring clients to appropriate medical or psychological professionals when their needs fall outside a practitioner's scope. My membership reflects my commitment to providing Creative Wellbeing Sessions within clear professional and ethical boundaries.

This is your Space to Create, Reflect and Reconnect

There is no right or wrong way to create during a Creative Wellbeing Session. Your artwork does not need to be beautiful, finished or even understood by anyone else.

Sometimes the value is simply in giving yourself permission to make, notice, feel and reflect.
