About me
Hello, I am Florence Ferraco (Flor) I am an art therapist specialised in Drama and Movement therapy. I practice within a holistic, integrative and client centred approach.
Outside the Square:
This is the name of my private practice where I lead group and individual therapy sessions. If you feel stuck in a situation and become overwhelmed by it, sometimes you just need someone to help you think outside the square to listen and guide you towards a new path to gain a different perspective.
My Approach to Therapy:
I promote creative work and creative thinking to enable the space to explore any emotions from a safe distance and then help you bring them back to you when you are ready to receive them.
I use a variety of methods depending on your needs and preferences. You will have the chance to tell your story in a confidential space, open up your imagination and try different creative mediums to heal and empower yourself. I include elements of art, sacred geometry, meditation, breathing, body movement, poetry or if you prefer just talk. I can help you find the right mindfulness tools for you. All of these are underpinned by Jungian concepts and other psychoanalytic theories.
I provide all materials required and I tailor each session accordingly to your interests and intentions.
