art therapy

Transpersonal Art Therapy will broaden your perspective on an issue.

It combines meditation, artmaking and reflection to uncover solutions that were otherwise unavailable to you. The process is a form of psychodynamic counselling, many people find it relaxing and enjoyable. It involves thinking about symbolic meanings, and exploring what’s happening below the surface for you, through imagery, object, metaphor and story. 

The Transpersonal approach commonly provides immediate relief from distress and integrates readily with your own spiritual and cultural beliefs. It incorporates ancestral topography, ecopsychology and body primacy. It complements the bio/psycho/social approach to mental health. It can be a powerful alternative for people who find mainstream perspectives limiting. 

Art Therapy often reconnects us with our sense of play and fun. It is good for children, and perhaps even better for adults.

Sessions are 60 – 75 minutes. It’s best in-person but also available by Zoom. All materials are in-person provided, but those working remotely will need to provide their own art supplies.

What do people say about Jane’s workshops?

Jane displays a very special intuitive & organic approach teaching. She is able to connect with her students on a level that I admire.

Jane encourages kind self expression, by creating a safe space for the kids to interact in a fun and respectful way.

My daughters have been part of her drama and music classes for a couple of year, It is my girls favourite time at school. It has helped with their self esteem and confidence around peers.

I cannot thank Jane enough for the ongoing effort and attention she devotes to the children she teaches.”
