Creative Counselling

Why choose counselling?

The support of a counsellor can help you live life to your full potential. There are many challenges that can take our focus away from living a more embodied life.

Those who are looking for support from a counsellor may have pivotal life choices to make:

You may recognise repeat patterns that do not support your well-being and happiness.

You may be moving through present or past grief and loss.

You may be going through a time of crisis, and are burnt out.

You may have been through or experienced personal trauma, or the effects of transgenerational trauma.

You may be working through past and present challenging relationship dynamics with yourself, partners, family, friends, at work, with life; and, or are seeking personal meaning, purpose and fulfilment.

What to expect with creative counselling

Primarily the journey is yours and you may wish to talk through your process and I will help guide and support you. I will introduce practices to help you to regulate your nervous system, and mostly listen and help you reflect upon your process. I will share with you opportunities to use Art, Creativity, Play (i.e. Sandplay, Roleplay, Mask Work), Movement, Stories, Meditation, build coherence through Heart Mind Connection, observe the Body and Mind communication, and build a clear relationship with the Mind Body Connection. And I will offer you ways to ground this all into your day to day life.

What does transpersonal mean?

The transpersonal aspires towards the understanding that everything is connected. I have worked with people in Laos, Libya, Lebanon, Turkey, France, Italy and the U.K. holding this intention with full respect to each individuals social, cultural, mental, emotional, spiritual and physical needs.

What makes this a creative process?

  • Talk
    Talking is part of the process and can be the method used if you wish.
  • Art & Play
    Creative Arts and Play are effortless pathways to the subconscious, whose methods range from more spontaneous activity, to making well considered placement of figurines in a sand tray, in painting, clay modelling, drawing, writing or role playing, or even singing & dancing if the mood takes you. With creative practices I can help you to explore the relationships between the symbols, shapes, and forms in what you create and the thoughts and feelings which come with them. This part of the journey usually contains an element of surprise which clients enjoy because it shows that there is more to creative expression than what was initially expected.
  • Transpersonal & Holistic
    The Transpersonal and Holistic brings perspective into your individual experience. This helps you extend your identity beyond the thoughts that can bring about the feeling of being stuck.

    Testimonials

    Charlotte's Creative Counselling Experience

    I’ve tried many talk based therapies with little success and was immediately drawn to Aya’s holistic counselling approach, even though I have very limited artistic talent – I used to find it very relaxing and therapeutic as a child.

    Stephen's Creative Counselling Experience

    What I liked most about Aya’s counselling is the constant and pleasant sense of surprise it brings… It was a remarkable experience, different from conventional counselling, though we talked about relationships here in a straightforward way.
