This depends on what you need or require. After our initial consultation I will have a clearer picture of what you would like to do. All said and done you are in control of this process and it is up to you how much or little you would like to do.
Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy
Absolutely no art skills are needed to begin your creative journey with me! It's a welcoming space for everyone, regardless of artistic background. You don't need to worry about your skill level—just an open mind and a willingness to explore.
As for materials, simplicity is key. Basic materials like a pen, paper, crayons, watercolour paint, or felt pens are all you need—no need for anything fancy. However, please don't feel pressured to invest in an elaborate art kit. You really don't need much to get started!
Each session will come with information in advance, so you'll have time to gather what you need. Remember, there's no need for expensive art supplies; we're here to focus on the joy of expression, not the cost of materials.
HICAT Art therapy sessions are not like an general art class. There is so much more to discover such as meditation, breathing and relaxation techniques to name a few.
I'm not here to teach you how to make art or draw. While you might discover new creative things along the way, the main goal is to creatively learn more about yourself during our sessions.
By embracing these practices, you'll continue to discover your inner creative essence, joyfully engaging in activities such as crafting, drawing, painting, journaling, and more. This journey allows you to deepen your connection with your creative self and explore the limitless possibilities of self-expression.
