Applications and benefits
Art therapy can be carried out alone or in combination with another form of psychotherapy or medication. There is the possibility of taking individual sessions or being part of an art therapy group. We can discuss the pro's and con's of the two models, but you are taking the decision in the end.
Good results have been shown with anxiety disorders, depression, burn out, PTSD and ADHD but also with school-related problems such as bullying, structural problems in a school class. Low self-confidence can also be alleviated.
Post-traumatic disorders are often triggered by physical events and, in turn, chronic pain or persistent tension can be caused by unresolved issues. Also for the treatment of depression, burn out and anxiety disorders it is crucial to work on body and mind as a unity.
Therapies and workshops:
Individual therapy
Come as you are. We will find out together which way to go. While you choose materials, techniques and themes, I will be there to observe and guide you. Your creations will be the starting point of our talks and will also show us your development over time.
Starting: June 2025
Group therapy
You are not alone. Working with artistic material in a group shows us different ways to look at a similar situation and it is easier to open up to people that are struggling with the same difficulties.
Starting: September 2025

Art and mindfulness workshops and stages
In my workshops, which I will offer during school holidays, we make art and incorporate elements of ‘mindfulness’ such as breathing exercises, meditation, relaxation exercises and yoga into the process. Through these techniques, participants can learn to live in the ‘here and now’, i.e. to experience the present moment.
Starting: September 2025
