Types of Art Therapy Methods
Discover creative pathways to healing and personal growth through our specialised art therapy methods.
Claywork at Artivive is a grounding, tactile experience where you can shape, press, or mould clay to express emotions. This hands-on method is calming, sensory, and ideal for neurodivergent individuals or anyone seeking creative freedom.
Symbol work focuses on the natural emergence of meaningful images from your intuition. Symbols can surface through painting or drawing, and they help explore deeper thoughts, emotions, and spiritual connections in a gentle, guided way.
Sand tray therapy offers a visual and interactive way to express emotions without the need for words, using miniatures and symbolic scenes. It’s calming, engaging, and especially supportive for trauma recovery or complex emotional processing.
Guided visualisation gently leads you into a relaxed, meditative state to explore subconscious or symbolic imagery, which you can express through art or writing. These sessions often unlock meaningful reflections that foster healing and personal growth.
How Art Therapy Helps
Transpersonal art therapy gently helps you explore deeper parts of yourself through creative expression. It offers a safe space to process emotions, reduce anxiety, and build self-awareness. Many find it helpful to access personal insights, develop resilience, and support personal growth over time.
