Art counselling works to facilitate a healing process, using art and creativity as a vehicle to recovery. People grow and flourish when they immerse themselves in the creative process. Art counselling combines traditional counselling techniques with creative activities to strengthen creativity, imagination and insight as well as logic, reasoning and analytic thought by allowing the client to stimulate both hemispheres of the brain when tackling psychological issues. Many different mediums such as – painting, drawing, sculpting, mosaic, decoupage, beading, woodwork, photography, poetry, writing, sensory activities and much more are used. NO ARTISTIC ABILITY IS NEEDED TO ATTEND ART COUNSELLING. For any further information or to book a session, contact Jade Fletcher on 082 099 2939 or fletcherartepeutic@gmail.com
