Absolutely not! I personally believe art making can enhance the therapeutic process, but how we spend the session is entirely up to you. Some days you might choose to create art, some days you might choose to just talk. My sessions are catered to your needs at the time of our session.

Humans are innately creative. As children in school, we learn there is a "right" or "wrong" way of doing art. As a result, many of us believe we are "bad" at art so we stop creating. Tapping into our creative side provides a variety of psychological benefits including reduced stressed and improved mood. Additionall, Art Psychotherapy provides teens and adults a non-verbal mode of expression, allowing for the exploration and understanding of emotions that might be too confusing or too difficult to articulate with words alone.

NO! You just need to have an open mind and an enjoyment for creativity. I am not an art teacher and these are not art lessons. My aim is to support you in using imagery to express your inner world. The less you worry about the "product" the more you can benefit from the "process."

I recommend booking in for a birth debrief anytime from 3 months post partum. Those first few months are about survival mode so please just focus on you and your baby. As you emerge from the 4th trimester, you might still have some very intense feelings and memories from your birth. It is never too late to book a birth debrief and these services can be valuable to women 10, 15, even 20yrs after the event
