What is Transpersonal Art Therapy?
“Transpersonal art therapy is an holistic approach to art therapy that explores the connections between art, psychology, and spirituality. Rooted in transpersonal psychology, this form of therapy goes beyond the individual ego to consider the deeper, more expansive aspects of human experience. ” Kimberly Hetherington (https://kimberlyhetherington.com)
Transpersonal Art Therapy is a client centred therapy designed to allow you, the client, to find your own healing.
“The Transpersonal Art Therapist’s role is to build a bridge between their world and the world of the client so that they can facilitate the client to discover their own innate potential and healing. The therapist assists the client to understand, amplify, and develop their inner symbolic language.” The College of Complementary Medicine. (www.https://ccm.edu.au/)

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be good at Art?
Who is to say what is good? Your drawings are an outer expression of your inner thoughts and feelings and wisdom. Your art will never be shared with anyone else. It is yours alone.
Tell me about your cancellation policy.
All sessions are booked in advance. Payment is required in advance. There is a strict 24 hr cancellation period. Cancel any time before the 24 hr period and you get your full fee back. Any time after that and Art & Mind will retain your fee.
What does a session look like?
It starts with a simple exercise to relax you and achieve a state of mind in which you can access your deepest thoughts and feelings. Then your will talk to your Therapist about the issue you wish to explore. She will guide you to amplify what you have spoken about, through appropriate art processes .
Are you confidential?
Absolutely. As part of a Therapist’s ongoing professional practice, they are obliged to discuss clients with their Supervisor, to ensure best practice. This is always done through the use of pseudonyms. Your confidential information remains just that – confidential. All paper documents are secured.
Is this ‘New Age’?
Transpersonal Art Therapy is a well established form of psychotherapy. It can be viewed as both a method of thinking and a way of doing things, recognizing spirituality and symbolism as a universal aspect of the human experience. Your Therapist will work with you to establish your boundaries, and your personal belief systems are given paramount importance.

I am delighted to announce that my NESA Accreditation has been extended until 2032. This means that as well as being a qualified Transpersonal Art Therapist, I also maintain my status as a Master of Teaching, specialising in students who struggle with reading and writing in a school environment. Please contact me if you feel I can be of any assistance in this issue.
