Creative Discovery Sessions

Studio Sessions - Scottish Highlands

A limited number of Creative Discovery Sessions are held in my art studio in Ardelve, in the North West Scottish Highlands. These personalised sessions are designed to help you to overcome blocks, guide you to insights, and open new pathways to transformation.

WHAT’S INVOLVED

I will guide you through gentle imaginative and creative processes that can help you to -

  • Gain deep insights and new perspectives

  • Tap into the wisdom of your unconscious mind

  • Develop intuitive and creative states of consciousness

These sessions are designed to explore something of interest or importance to you (such as a goal, question, dream, or block) with the intention of discovering new resources and insight. You have the option to choose a goal or intention in advance or we can go with the flow and explore what emerges on the day.

Based on what you would like to explore, I will gently guide you to access your intuitive and imaginative capacities using creative visualisation and other techniques using the mind’s eye and felt-senses. A range of art materials will be on hand for you to explore the symbols, images or feelings that emerge for you.

FAQs

How do I know this is right for me?

Are you interested in exploring your creative potential through play, deep imagination and embodied inner work? To learn more about the principles behind the way I work, browse the articles, or try some of the free exercises and resources. It is essential to find the right match for your individual needs, so I offer a free initial consultation where we can get to know each other a little, and see if we are a good fit.

Do you only work with artists and creative professionals?

I believe that creativity is a natural part of life, and everyone is an artist. Life itself is a creative process! In addition to helping professional artists and creatives reach their potential and overcome creative blocks, I work with individuals who want to explore their potential and enjoy a more creative life. Exploring your inner world through creative expression can be an incredibly insightful process, releasing untapped potential, and facilitating personal growth. I am constantly in awe of the immense latent creative capabilities of those who did not consider themselves creative or artistic. If you don’t think you have an inner artist, I believe you will be pleasantly surprised!

Is it best to commit to ongoing sessions?

How your sessions are arranged is completely up to you. The frequency can be arranged to suit your requirements and budget, and can be altered at any time.

Single Sessions

Single sessions are also available for a quick creative boost! If you have simply hit a minor roadblock in your journey and need a spark of inspiration this could be the perfect option for you.

Multiple Sessions & Packages

Ongoing sessions often create momentum and offer the opportunity to build on progress. The most popular multi-session package I offer is a flexible package of five 60-minute sessions. You can then book appointments, as required, at a frequency that suits you. This offers complete flexibility whilst also letting you take advantage of special rates. Booking a package is a great option to explore various tools and techniques to support your ongoing creative journey.

Do you also offer group sessions?

In addition to individual creative exploration sessions, I also offer private group sessions. Group work can be a powerful way to work on collective issues, and these sessions are designed to combine individual and collaborative work. The most popular topics I offer are Creative Discovery and Embodied Self Expression. Bespoke sessions can be created, based on the specific needs of your group. Smaller online groups (six to eight people) tend to work well to create an intimate environment and allow time for discussion. Please get in touch to discuss your requirements.

Do you offer art therapy?

Creative expression and imaginal work are inherently therapeutic and can be great complementary solutions, but I do not offer art therapy. My background training is in the arts, and I have an MSc in Transpersonal Psychology. I am also a registered hypnotherapist and have additional certification in a range of other complementary modalities. You can find out more about my qualifications here. If you are looking for art therapy or counselling, or are experiencing serious depression, please consider reaching out to your GP or healthcare professional.
