What is Art Therapy?
Art therapy is based on 'art' as a 'therapy' using colour, shape and line along with other different techniques, as opposed to art for fun and enjoyment or to hang on walls. The 'Transpersonal' aspect relates to the totality of each person. This incorporates everything beyond the person, belief systems, faith, religion, spirituality, family, ancestors, cultural, history, intuition, dreams and more. In other words, an art therapist works with the client in a holistic way not simply focusing on just the physical, emotional and mental aspects but the entirety of the client's being. The art therapist guides the client to finding their own answers, through the art the client makes during a session, so the client is then able to see what is in their own art making.
Art therapy goes to where words fail or are simply not enough. As a qualified Transpersonal Art Therapist I offer one on one sessions for clients as well as one day groups with simple one off exercises that can assist with insight and well-being ie. mandalas, collaging, journaling etc. Making your own journal to record your insights, your dreams or special moments in your life.
Marnee is offering these one on one sessions for clients who need more focused assistance to work towards healing. Art Therapy works when the client and the therapist form a Therapeutic Alliance and work hand in hand with the therapist guiding the client to finding their own answers through a trusting relationship.
Art therapy colouring in books of today are good for stress release and relaxation only. They do not address the underlying problems or issues that the field of art therapy works with, which offers much more on a deeper level to assist clients to move beyond these situations.

What is Story Telling?
For me, story telling is simply sharing positive messages , practical and spiritual insights and experiences from one's life journey that can give solace to others suffering with similar experiences. Usually incorporated as part of a natural and innate process through art workshops and/or specifically, for speaking events.
