"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures."  Henry Ward Beecher

Arts Psychotherapy and Clinical Supervision

With its ability to calm, reevaluate, and instigate change in our lives, Arts Psychotherapy can be a potent tool for healing and personal growth.  It offers an alternate approach to comprehending who we are, our connections to others, the world, and where we fit within it. 

Art therapy does not require any artistic talent. If you can handle a pencil and make marks on paper, that’s enough!  Arts Psychotherapists don't analyse your artwork or utilise your sketches to make diagnoses.  The use of art in therapy is intended to assist you better access your own inner knowledge and to help you come up with questions and ideas to help yo be the person you want to be. 

Sessions can be held in person if you reside south of Adelaide, South Australia, or online if you live anywhere in Australia and have access to a computer, laptop, or tablet and wifi.  Email InsideArts to discuss your requirements.  You'd be astonished at how adaptable we are.

Services can be funded through your NDIS plan.

Supervision

Insightful practise reflection facilitated through Arts Psychotherapy Supervision, can help clinicians (such as counsellors, social workers, arts therapists, and occupational therapists) find new ways to comprehend their patients' lives. Appointments are usually conducted online. Contact Glenda to see if her approach might work for you.

"I felt that these pictures had something to say to me that was very important for me to know, but I could not tell what it was.... They gave me an emotion that I could not analyse. They said something that words were powerless to utter. I fancy that Strickland saw vaguely some spiritual meaning in material things that was so strange that he could only suggest it with halting symbols. It was as though he found in the chaos of the universe a new pattern, and were attempting clumsily, with anguish of soul, to set it down. I saw a tormented spirit striving for the release of expression."                                                                                                                                               W.
