Art therapy

is a form of psychotherapy.

  • I believe, that people who come for therapy have everything they need inside themselves. What I can do is to help them connect, reconnect and discover the strengths they have inside themselves and that are necessary to have the lives they want.
  • Art therapy works, because at first it is nonverbal. You don't need any kind of knowledge or or affinity to art. The creative process will come all by itself and helps, to perceive hidden sides of the self, fears, conflicts, traumas, the subconscious. With the help of the therapist you can learn how to deal with this, how to live with it. "Psychology Today" offers a fine explanation of how and why art therapy works: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapy-types/art-therapy
  • Art therapy can help:

conflicts within family, business life, family, relationship

separation, loss, divorce

depression

psychosomatic illness

chronic illness

anxiety disorder

obsessive-compulsive disorder

ADHD

eating disorder

trauma

Art of healing and healing in art

  • feelings, thoughts become visible, can be shared, can be coped with
  • traumatic experiences, stressful or suppressed experiences, find symbolic expression, can be examined from the distance, less angst-inducing, free from limiting expectations
  • triad between therapist - client - creation offers new impulses, alternative perspectives and solutions can be tried out in an experimantal, playful way
  • creativity lets you experience self-efficacy, strengthens self-confidence

The art therapist's work is both preventative and rehabilitative. We work in groups or individual settings.

Seminars for practitioners, art therapists and in-training-therapists

The seminars I currently offer are usually held in German. The preparation course for the HPP exam is also in German, which is important, as the oral exam will be in German as well.Therefore, you must be fluent in German and familiar with all the technical terms in English.

If you need assistance preparing for the exam in English, please contact me and we will find a solution.

If you are a group and have a demand for a certain therapeutic workshop, please don't hesitate to contact me. I offer workshops on therapeutic techniques, i.e. art therapy, relaxation therapy, mindfulness based therapy.

 

Please check the German page for further information. Thank you very much.
