Although I am primarily offering EMDR therapy, the arts can be a great tool alongside. Integrative Arts Psychotherapy (IAP) can assist in raising awareness of emotion or trauma stored in the body, unpicking a spoken metaphor, music (eg.a pertinent lyric, a soundtrack to a time) -to using sand tray or visual arts. There is no right or wrong way, and you do not have to be 'good at art'.

​

Each artform helps to externalise feeling to look at things from different angles- whether exploring relationships in the sand tray or voicing unsaid words, making a playlist, painting/ drawing, picking postcards, or distilling words into stories or poems. This can be cathartic, soothing and a way to 'empty out'. Journalling or sketchbooks can also be a great tool in between sessions.
