Q. What is
Creative Therapy including Art Therapy?
Creative therapy
has only recently been recognised a few years ago, as it is an
alternative to main stream therapies.
Creative therapy is based on the philosophy that everyone is innately
creative and by exploring this further, a client is able to gain an
insight to their creative nature. This may be explored by the media of
art, creative writing, dance, music or craft work.
Its aim is to ‘bring into being by the means of friendly help’ and to
promote a response to the need to be creative. Through self discovery,
fun and exploration, a further understanding of who we are as
individuals and our human natures can be gained.
Art therapy is a more established form of therapy. It has long
been recognised that by using the medium of art with a client on a
therapeutic basis for the purposes of counselling, a connection to the
subconscious can be achieved. This in turn can reveal hidden motives
and feelings that are not being recognised. Its aim is to help address
these by further using art to identify and find release.
Trained as a Creative therapist, which included Art therapy, my
philosophy is to creatively work with my clients and this may included
art therapy depending on the individual nature and needs of the
client.
