Reclaim Joy Through Transpersonal Art Therapy
A compassionate space to explore and rediscover your inner joy through creativity
What is Transpersonal Art Therapy?
The word Transpersonal means Beyond the Persona.
We look behind our everyday experiences, behind our roles that often restrict our understanding of identity. We open up to the gifts of the unconscious to mind that can not be accessed through ordinary states of consciousness.
We can access our unconscious mind through engaging creative expression, guided meditation, movement, play, dance, poetry, metaphor, ritual and story. These engagements allow us to turn down our logical mind and tune into our emotional self; creating an opportunity for the unknown to become conscious. In this way we allow for a rebalancing and centering of self.
Transpersonal Art Therapy is a type of technology. Seemingly “lo-fi” in materiality and ephemeral in nature; it provides access to other states of consciousness. It allows us to tune into self and access our own inner wisdom.
As a Transpersonal Art Therapist I support and guide you to create a bridge between their inner and outer world through creativity and mind-body practices. You will access and draw on your own wisdom, build inner resources and reconnect to intuition. You are the expert on you and my role is to walk beside you as you explore your landscape.
I am trained in holistic and person-centered counselling. I offer a space where you can explore personal issues through creative methods to help you see issues from different perspectives, and express yourself more freely without being limited to only words.
This work is gentle, slow and beautiful. It is suited to people who have tried talk therapy but feel limited by expressing verbally.
Creative acts create new pathways. Utilising therapeutic art making and creative expression combined with counselling in our sessions allows a space for freedom of expression, release and soothe stuck emotions. It has the capacity to reveal different versions of yourself that we never could have imagined before and move you towards transformation.

No. It’s a common misconception that you need to be an artist to do art therapy. This is not the case, everyone is creative if they have space, time and an invitation to explore freely. If you are feeling unsure how to get started in your art making I have skills and training to support in finding your unique way of expressing.
