You are encouraged to make as much or as little art as you like and whilst having a variety of art materials can be useful you can start with just a small selection such as pencil crayons, pastels and paint.

You may like to use a sketchbook or individual sheets of paper to create art and record your ideas much like having a creative journal. As your artwork develops you may decide to work bigger, on canvas or other surfaces and can make 2D art such as collage, paintings or drawings or 3D making sculptures or crafts from different materials.  

There are no requirements to have loads of art skills or experience or have studied art previously to take part in the program and I always say that expression is more important than perfection.
You will be encouraged to express yourself using art in different ways as well as if you prefer to introduce, music, dance, poetry, comedy or whatever form of creativity suits you.
Whilst the focus is not on the teaching of skills through the coaching and group accountability there are ample opportunities to improve your skills as well as to develop ideas.

For this one to one service at an investment of £225 you will be able to access 4 weekly online sessions (using zoom). I am flexible about when you take these depending on availability but best spaced out rather closely together to allow you to take action and be creative between sessions.

These will last around 30 mins and are designed to help you to be creative and express yourself as well as learning ways to regulate your nervous system to help you regulate emotions

You can access the resources and watch the training videos in your own time and it's up to you as to how much time you dedicate to your art and creative practise. Some people find it helpful to block out a period of time each day and others prefer to allocate one or two days in the week to make art.

Whilst I am a qualified art therapist registered with HCPC, this service has not been packaged as an art therapy service due to the short sessions and non clinical approach. What it might feel more like is 'Creativity and Wellbeing Coaching' where I offer curious prompts for you to explore ideas whilst supporting you to make art for self care and self expression.
We can explore your thoughts feelings emotions and experiences and how these things might impact your art making and your goals and individual support needs.
In such a short period of time there may not be not long enough to provide a service that explores deeper emotional challenges including traumatic experiences.
This is well within my remit as an art therapist/ psychotherapist and where  if this is something you need support with then perhaps my 6 month 1-1 service might feel more appropriate for you as this allows for more time as longer sessions and over a longer duration.
