Expressive Arts Therapy
"Self-work is never time wasted, and I certainly never regretted doing any of the work I have done with Carly, as it has brought a great deal of joy and peace to my inner world."
- Tasenka
"Working with Carly gave me the time and tools unique to me that allowed me to ground and listen to what my heart and body were saying. She is the most encouraging, thoughtful, and empathetic soul and truly helped me find within myself the language and courage to speak my truth."
- Nikki
"Her interaction with me from the beginning of our series was phenomenal and made me feel really heard and cared about. Her workshop series provided me with insight into myself that I didn’t know was possible. I re-learned creativity, I feel more grounded, and my sense of self feels like it’s gotten a much needed refresher. I am grateful for the time, energy, and gentleness that Carly put into her work with me."
- Margie
"By the end of the workshop, "In Bloom," I found myself facing some personal fears with a confidence and openness I hadn’t had before. Through all this I felt seen and supported by Carly. In my trials she lifted me up and together we celebrated my successes."
- Mandy
"Thank you for accepting all my little ups and downs through this. And for always being a source of encouragement and inspiration. You have created a flame that I never knew about."
- Rosie
What is Expressive Arts Therapy
Self expression is your birthright.
Expressive arts therapy is a counselling method where expression is the fundamental tool for emotional health, wellness and a deepened sense of self.
Why Expressive arts therapy?
If you are someone who struggles voicing your challenges and desires to find safety in the fullness of your expression, expressive arts therapy bridges the gap between the cognitive and imaginative realms of your experience of the world. This specialized counselling method calls for creative engagement between the self, the senses and the subconscious and will bring a refreshing and colourful perspective to your healing journey.
I believe offering creative methods to therapeutic environments is not only profoundly holistic, but it is also a step toward breaking down the colonial lens and approaches of healing. My counselling space involves the blending of talk therapy, DBT and expressive arts methodologies where we will unpack the weight of past trauma, identify present challenges, and explore building an embodied sense of knowing that your worth, innate wisdom, and unique expression has the power to be your fuel and compass in life.
My core principles are rooted in the unearthing of the wisdom and trust of oneself so that you have the power to access self sustainability and uplift all uninhibited ways of being. With me by your side, we will walk gently together to learn all the ways in which you know you can heal and thrive in your life.
