Nurturing your own development isn’t selfish. It’s actually a great gift to other people.

 

– Rick Hanson -

At The Art of Wellbeing we follow a solution-driven process that sees the marriage of psychology with multimodal arts and other creative expressions.

 

One of the differences between this evidence-based approach and more traditional forms of “talk therapy”, is that the latter predominantly relies on the use of language. However, through combining creative interventions with traditional psychotherapeutic approaches we take advantage of a whole-brain approach so that all of our capacities are utilized.

 

Traditional therapy combined with creative arts therapy, provide clients alternative modes of expression, circumventing the limitations often experienced when making use of - or being restricted to - verbal expression alone.

 

Who Benefits? 

This form of therapy benefits a very wide range of clients.

 

Aside from treatment for anxiety and depression, trauma and PTSD, clients with learning difficulties, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, disability and chronic pain and illness also benefit.

 

We also have a strong focus on adolescent development, career and change management, as well as life and business coaching.

Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit when you don't know something, and to learn something new.
