From the provider: Arts Psychotherapy and Clinical Supervision Arts Psychotherapy can be a powerful method for adults and children, of growing, and of healing: soothing, reassessing and creating change in our lives. It provides an alternative means of understanding ourselves, relationships, the world, and our place in it. Art Therapy can be wonderful for people with disabilities, especially when words, for whatever reason, just can't help. You do not need any arts skills to engage in art therapy. If you can hold a pencil, or a paintbrush, and put a mark on a page, this is all that is required. Arts Psychotherapists don't interpret your art, or use your drawing to diagnose problems. The Art in the therapy is used to help generate questions and ideas, and to better tap into your own innate wisdom. The art is used to help people regulate, to better understand their bodies and minds, and to create change from a 'bottom-up' perspective. Sessions can be conducted online, (if you live in rural Australia, or in any place where you can use a computer, laptop or tablet and wifi to connect), or face to face, (if you are south of Adelaide, South Australia, or near Victor Harbor). Contact InsideArts via email to discuss your needs. You'll be surprised how flexible we can be! NDIS funded services are available, with experienced arts therapists.

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. Somerset Maugham, The Moon and Sixpence, 1919 Inside Arts - The art of looking inside. What is inside the art? What is the art inside us?
