Person Centred Art Therapy by Nicola Croote at Chelsea Natural Health Clinic, Fulham Rd.,SW10
What is Person Centred Art Therapy?
Person centred art therapy can be used as a tool to help you discover more about yourself and bring any unconscious issues into your awareness. It works by helping you to get in touch with your right brain, the part of the brain that is more creative, spontaneous and playful.
What happens in a person centred art therapy session?
I will invite you to close your eyes if you feel comfortable to do so and will lead you through a relaxation exercise . I will ask you to allow an image to come up for you when I say a particular word, for example ‘flower’ I will ask you to notice everything that you can about the image eg. where is the flower? what does it look like? is there anything else that you can see? I will then invite you when you are ready to choose paper and pens, pencils, paints, pastels etc (whatever you feel like using) to draw your image. Once your image is completed I will go through your image with you asking you specific questions about it in order to help you make the connections that will help you to understand more about yourself and issues in your life. Whatever is in your unconscious mind and is relevent to your current or future situation will be portrayed in your image. My job is to help you discover this in a safe, supportive and creative way.
Why Person Centred Art Therapy?
Because every now and then we can get stuck in our lives and even talking about it doesn’t help. Person Centred Art Therapy is a way of helping you to get unstuck by making you aware of new possiblities or behaviours and feelings that are preventing you from moving forward.
But what if I can’t draw?
It really doesn’t matter if you think that you can’t draw very well as it is not about admiring the end product, it is about the process of making the image and finding out the meaning underneath. Lots of people I have worked with including myself held this belief to start with but I encourage you to trust the process and just have fun with it! Person Centred Art Therapy can really surprise you with what it can uncover.
