LISTENING TO WHAT THE HEART KNOWS

KATE BOWES: ART psychotherapist IN NORTH LONDON

As an art psychotherapist I am here to support you in exploring any issues or anxieties that are affecting you currently or have been causing you concern for a longer period of time.

In art psychotherapy sessions you will be offered the possibility of using your creativity and imagination to be more in touch with your feelings through using both art materials and words. Connecting in this way to yourself can bring greater awareness of internal resources and strengths. You can also gain a different perspective about whatever is challenging or difficult.

I provide a confidential space where you can experience being listened to, seen and accepted without judgement. Often we may not have experienced being attuned to in such a way and over time this can lead to a sense of trust developing between us where you feel able to access and express aspects of yourself previously ignored or undervalued.

Together we can listen to and get to know your thoughts, emotions and experiences and gain understanding of the roots of stress, fears and pain which may be holding you back from a more joyful relationship to life.

Art psychotherapy services

I offer a comfortable and relaxing creative space where you can express yourself openly through talking as well as through using art materials such as paint, clay and collage.

It is not necessary to have any experience of making art or of feeling ‘good’ at art as Art Therapy is not about the aesthetic or technical value of the artwork. The main focus is your exploration of your world through materials, shapes, colours and the building of a trusting relationship between you and I where you feel safe and able to express yourself. Over time as you make art work you are able to discover a personal symbolic world through the images you make and this can bring great satisfaction and become a resource you can use to restore your emotional balance.
