About Art Therapy

Creative expression has been a part of humanity for thousands of years as evident in archaeological finds the world over, including those found in Australia.  Despite the obvious decorative nature of art, it also has a deeper meaning where one can connect with self-awareness, personal growth and transformation. Art provides a vehicle for the expression of a wide range of emotions, from grief to joy and trauma to triumph.

Art Therapy has formed from the concept that art and creative expression provides a way for us to make sense of our inner experiences that often words cannot. The images and art making processes can help us to understand who we are, to express feelings and ideas, and heal past hurts.  It is an education of our senses that occurs when we engage our hands in the creative process which alerts us to felt senses within our body.

Art Therapy focusses on the process of creating rather than an art outcome.  Therefore, it is not necessarily about creating something that is aesthetically pleasing.  Rather it is about the process of expressing and in doing so, becoming more aware of body felt senses and the wisdom they hold.

More and more research points to the role of creative expression facilitated by a trained Arts Therapist as providing a platform from which our intuitive senses can reconnect and heal at a cellular level.  The role of an Arts Therapist is to create and hold a safe space which invites a person’s felt senses to be witnessed and worked through.
