\n\n\n\n
Art therapy is based on research that supports the belief that creating art is healing and life-enhancing. Unlike studio art, where technique and the end product is the focus, in art therapy the process of creating is more important than the end result. You don't have to be an artist to benefit from art therapy.
\n\n\n\n
‘Transpersonal’ is a psychological approach which extends beyond traditional psychology to include mind, body & soul, as well as gaining a deeper sense of who we are, a greater sense of connectedness with others, nature, and/or spirituality. Looking beyond the masks we wear, discovering our inner selves.
\n\n\n\n
Exhale Art Therapy sessions allow the participant a safe space to discover and explore their conscious and unconscious thoughts, feelings and values through use of creative expression and a variety of artistic mediums.
\n\n\n\n
Danielle’s aim is to make a difference in her client’s lives - Helping and inspiring them to discover their own inner wisdom, source of healing, strength and happiness. Guiding participants to go beyond what was their ‘normal’ giving them a greater sense of meaning and purpose in their life, the ability to reach their full potential and living truer to their authentic self.

For Creative Expression
\n\nWhen words are not enough.
\n\n\n\n
You don’t have to be an artist! Art therapy is not focused on the end result, rather the process of creating. How you feel while making your art and what you learn about yourself is the most important thing.
\n\n
\nParticularly beneficial for children and the elderly, as well as anyone who may be less comfortable or capable of articulating and expressing themselves through language alone.
\n\n
Our sessions provide an outlet for participants to express themselves freely, creatively and authentically through art making. Increasing confidence and self-esteem and self awareness. Giving voice to thoughts and feelings not easily expressed in words.

\n\nNourishing mind, body & soul.
\n\n\n\n
Our art processes enhance creativity and enjoyment, help you let go of stress, anxiety and the demands of daily life. Fostering personal growth, self-development and self-care.
\n\n\n\n
Looking after self, taking time out from our hectic lifestyle to nurture creativity and freely explore, express and reflect is vital for healing, health and wellbeing.
\n\n\n\n
Our Art Therapy sessions offer creative mindful approaches to help relieve stress and re-balance. Resulting in us being more present, more patient, more grounded & attentive throughout our daily lives, whether at work, at home or with our children.
\n\n\n\n
Art therapy can be beneficial for anyone, enabling people to improve their self-awareness through creative mindful approaches. Including carers, professionals, corporate groups, children, womens & mothers groups.

\n\nA catalyst for healing.
\n\n\n\n
Art Therapy promotes mental health and recovery from trauma, addictions, eating disorders, personality disorders and mental illness throughout the use of creative arts processes.
\n\n\n\n
The therapeutic use of art making, can enhance the recovery process by
\n\nallowing the participant to explore and express struggles, thoughts, feelings & emotions. As well as access inner wisdom & resources, build connections with inner-self & others and develop coping strategies in order to successfully manage their behaviour & addictions.
\n\n\n\n
Art therapy accesses the sub-conscious mind and intuition, quickly able to cut through over-thinking and emotional defences that have built-up over the years. We recommend implementing our Art Therapy sessions alongside other therapeutic treatments to provide a holistic approach to recovery.
