As I am currently studying to be an art therapist alongside my coaching, I have been exploring art journaling as a way to get more in touch with my own creativity.
Art (therapy) journaling is a wonderful way to explore your emotional wellbeing, to understand what keeps you grounded and to see what comes to the surface through exploration of different materials, colours and techniques. Being creative is a great way to start 2025 and give yourself something that is just for you!
Art journaling can be very relaxing and enjoyable when you have already dabbled in some form of creative expression on paper. If, however, you are completely new to expressing yourself through the use of art materials, drawing, painting or collage, it can feel a little overwhelming at first. When you are new to being creative and aren’t familiar at all with where and how to start, then please let me know and I would be more than happy to help!
More specifically, art therapy is a technique rooted in the idea that creative expression can foster healing and mental well-being. As clients create art, they may analyze what they have made and how it makes them feel. Through exploring their art, people can look for themes and conflicts that may be affecting their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
If you feel that you would like to explore one to one art therapy sessions online, then please let me know. I would be happy to guide you on this new journey and support you in expressing yourself in a new way.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year with lots of love, prosperity and good health!
Love Athina
