Individual Psychotherapy
How will a therapy session be?
Expressive arts therapy is based on the fundamental belief that the arts is a resource for healing.
In a therapy session, a therapeutic goal will be agreed between the client and the therapist.
Each client is encouraged to use multiple forms of creative expression to connect the body, mind, and spirit. The art forms include drawing and painting, photography, sculptures using a range of materials from clay to paper mâché, music, drama and role-play, poetry, prose, and dance and movement, to articulate the client’s inner world. The therapist will assess the client’s condition to adopt the most appropriate art modalities to guide him/her through for emotion expression under a safe and non-judgmental environment in order to let the client realise the sources of given power and understand self potential possibilities for the ultimate healing purposes.
The therapeutic sessions will combine talk and non-verbal therapy techniques.

How long does it take to see the results of the therapy?
Arts Psychotherapy can be short-term (a few weeks to months), dealing with more immediate challenges, or long-term (months to years), dealing with longstanding and complex issues. The goals of treatment and duration and frequency of treatment are discussed by the clients and therapist together.
However, through expression of the arts, the clients might feel a huge sense of relief because they are able to express their deep feeling in a more unconscious way. They will also feel safe to have connected with someone who hears, sees, and understands. They may immediately begin to feel more hopeful and less alone.
Any age limits for Expressive Arts Therapy? Is it suitable for children or youth under 18 years old, or elderlies?
Sentelier welcomes clients of all ages. There is no age limit when it comes to therapy. Even toddlers can benefit from therapy. In fact, the earlier a child receives help, the better the outcome. However, for children and youth under 18, consent from parents or lawful guardians is required.
Psychotherapy using expressive arts is particularly evident in children with special needs, such as those with autism, ADHD, speech impairments, PTSD, developmental disabilities or other mental and behavioral health conditions. Expression through the arts is a way to help these kids feel a sense of normalcy without judgment. Expressive arts awaken a child’s imagination and creativity to help him discover who he is and how to engage his senses. They also bring a sense of calm to the body and positively impact mindset, interpretation of surroundings and emotional state.
The client does NOT need any knowledge or skills on the arts for benefitting in the Expressive Arts Therapy sessions. Different art modalities are just means to facilitate the therapeutic goals.
