Art Therapy

What is it?

This therapy is experiential and non-verbal, centered around doing and creating. That said, conversation also plays a role during and after creative work. By discussing your artwork and staying close to your experience, we can explore and influence your emotions, behavior, and thoughts.

Sessions use various artistic materials (mainly clay) through guided exercises. This approach offers insight into your personal process, where sensory, physical, and emotional experiences support development. Other materials are available on request.

In the studio, art therapy is applied from a body-oriented perspective, where clay serves as a source of inner calm.

  • Art therapy offers a direct path to deeper emotions. It helps individuals recognize patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a safe, supportive space.

  • Sessions are for children (6+) and teenagers (up to 18), especially those navigating:

    • Autism, ADHD, ADD, DCD

    • Trauma

    • Stress, fear, grief, or anger

    • Low confidence or body awareness

    • Emotional regulation and self-understanding

    We work on building trust, recognizing emotions, expressing needs, and finding focus through creativity.

  • I'm Lies, a therapist passionate about helping young people feel more at home in themselves and their world. I’ve worked in special education for 10 years, guiding students toward calm and clarity.

    My own experience with creativity led me here—clay helped me find peace, especially on tough days. Alongside teaching, I’ve completed psychiatric internships and continue learning through postgraduate studies.

    I combine creative therapy with specialized coaching for autism and trauma, always tailoring support to each child or teen.
