About:

The purpose of working with images therapeutically is about the encouragement towards greater self-awareness within each person. By bringing the person-centred approach to images expressed in art form, integration, healing and growth can take place at every level of development and can offer the opportunity for students to express their emotions (should you wish to do so) in a safe containing confidential space within the group setting.
