Bringing the Arts to the Psychological therapies.

I am a registered health professional AThR NZRN, who integrates the arts into healthcare practice. I refer to this as the Life-Arts.

Synesthesia or the assimilation of life experiences, evidences a life-arts process where the literal arts expression may also contribute to a creative exploration of self and well-being.

In the creative process, the practitioner's art is the facilitation of a psychotherapeutic method that provides an opportunity for the participant to make meaning of their own and other life events. Multimodal and intermodal treatment approaches facilitate a learning process for beneficial change.

I provide treatment methods that may help you to consider what it is that you need to know about to progress in your life. An exploration of your life content can occur through a simple process of externalisation. This is your heuristic content and the arts process may help you to integrate self-knowledge.

With therapeutic intention, a drawing, painting, dance and/or the poetry of the written story can contribute to the process of making a live artefact, also documentation of the event.
