About me
Hi, I’m Chloe.
I offer Art Psychotherapy at the Treehouse Art Studio in Wivenhoe, Essex. This is a purpose built venue which is quiet and comfortable with good facilities and parking.
Currently, I offer both in person sessions at the Treehouse Art Studio and online sessions using Zoom.
What is Art Psychotherapy?
Art Psychotherapy is a form of psychotherapy practiced by qualified, registered Art Psychotherapists. It can provide you with an opportunity to use artmaking to explore issues or themes that are relevant and personal to you, and it can be used to explore a wide range of difficulties.
Art Psychotherapy is not the same as an art class or recreational activity, it is a form of therapy, offered in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.
Artmaking is used as a tool for self expression rather than something to be ‘good’ at or not. Therefore no skill or experience is necessary in order to engage in the Art Psychotherapy process. The aim is to facilitate personal growth and greater understanding of the self.
About me:
Since I qualified as an Art Psychotherapist in 2014, I have worked in various healthcare and social settings with both individuals and groups. Before completing my training, I studied Fine Art and I continue to be interested in the arts, both as an observer and a maker.
Important things to know about me:
-
I am state registered by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), an organisation that regulates health, psychological and care professionals in the UK to ensure they meet and maintain professional standards.
-
I am also a member of the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT), therefore committed to a recognised Code of Ethics and Standards of Proficiency.
-
If you decide to work with me you will be choosing someone with a passion for the arts who will endeavor to provide you with a service tailored to your needs in a unique setting.
