👉🏽’I am here’👈

👉🏽’I am here’👈

As we are now exactly half way through 2021, I felt it fitting to reflect on the last 6 months and will be expressing my reflections in some art therapy shortly. Before I did this, it occurred to me to revisit my creative art expression and blog from the end of last year as a platform to gauge my journey into this year so far and wanted to share.

🖼 The image shown here is my 2020 intuitive therapeutic art piece created on New Years Eve day…an expression of my journey through last year. It is a map that begins at the bottom of the painting travelling up to the top…to ‘I am here’… a simple space to contemplate the new year…

🤯 It was a frenzied creation (a little bit like last year!!) that took about 1.5 hours. Like always, when I allow myself to drop out of my head and simply express my feelings and impressions intuitively in the art, the release and relief I feel is incredibly valuable. There is a beauty in allowing things to naturally unfold without any judgement; simply let go and enjoy the ride!

💜 To see and explore my journey expressed creatively before me with an open heart, allowed forgiveness, acceptance and gratitude to flow through me. I was able to objectively ‘feel’ and ‘see’ my highs and lows, to honour my strengths and my vulnerabilities and celebrate my growth and achievements over a difficult year.

I used acrylic on a timber board I found in my shed. Art Therapy can be expressed on almost anything. There are no limits to the mediums you can use to gain therapeutic self-discoveries. Often you are able to find resources around your home, remembering in creative arts therapies, our main concern is not the outcome, but the process to get there. This is usually where all the juice resides.

🔥 Do you see the point in my painting when our world went crazy??

🌼 My painting is called ‘I am here’.

💫 Hello 2021!

Testimonials

“It was a fantastic session, thank you so much Helen for leading us through a wonderful experience. It was deeply enjoyable and therapeutic and I’m excited to bring some ideas to my mentoring. The session was definitely a highlight for us all from the entire weekend. Thank you!!”

Charlotte Pointeaux from Shine From Within
“I certainly felt a deeper connection with my team mates after partaking in the Art Therapy team building day. Prior to the day we were a tight group, though after the day, it felt as though we had connected on a deeper more personal level. I know some of my team mates were apprehensive due to the ‘art’ nature of the group, but soon found out that it’s about the process, not the creation. I know they walked away with a deeper understanding of Art Therapy as a modality and most surely a deeper understanding of themselves as a worker, individual, and team mate.
I would definitely recommend Helen to other organisations – I already have! I found her to be very supportive and engaging in a group environment and felt Helen was able to allocate time to each individual so that no one felt left out. I also really liked the variety of activities – each with a suited purpose.”
Art Therapy Team Building Self-care Day from Community Solutions Staff member, Prinellapy Keable: Support Worker -Personal Helpers and Mentors (PHaMs), Community Solutions, Sunshine Coast
“Working with Helen has helped me to open up to my deep inner feelings and thoughts. Helen is such a lovely warm person with no judgements. The 6 week 1 on 1 program has helped me to be curious and open minded. I have discovered more about me and what I want in life; to live in the now, embrace it, have fun and be happy.
Before I started working with Helen I felt something was missing. I wanted to re-discover Lyndell; what am I doing on this earth? There is more to me…I just don’t know what exactly it is or how to get it…
Now I feel happy and ready to do whatever my heart desires…the skies the limit!”
Lyndell Dickman

“Thanks Helen you have really helped me see myself.”

Abby Crawford

Helen is wonderful…She has helped our son through his anxiety issues around his schoolwork in particular. She has given him the tools to handle these emotions so they don’t become a barrier to him achieving his potential. All of this is delivered in a fun, creative and no confrontational way through art therapy. The difference has been noticed by all who know him. We are forever grateful and can highly recommend Helen. We look forward to what the future hold for our son.”

Happy Parents - Michelle and Adrian

“When I first saw the cost of the program I was hesitant to commit, however it was worth every dollar to be able to work alongside Helen. I have gained a more positive attitude, self-acceptance and inner peace. The biggest change was finding me and enjoying my own company!”

Beck

“Helen. Thank you for the special space you created and your humble and reverent approach to each of us. You facilitated a wonderful conduit between spirit and self, allowing each of us to hear our soul messages from which we created our own symbols of spirit. I completely recommend this course ‘return to love.’ I am very careful what soul food I spend my money on. This course is still giving me 10 fold. A beautiful part of the journeying along the river of my life.”

Jane Lumeah
“I highly recommend it! A eye-opening journey to more emotional freedom! Such a powerful process where I grew and learnt so much about myself. Helen is an amazing gentle soul. I felt valued as a woman and truly supported in all my moments.”
Lydia
“Twelve months ago, I completed the Growth Through Art 6 week course with the
beautiful Helen. This lady helps us improve our spiritual and psychological help, which of course leads to improvement in our physical wellness. I was going through many changes at the time and focusing on myself was good for me. Working in a group of likemindedladies,therewasplentyofsupportforourvariousjourneys. Ihave attached the ‘mini me’ created in one of our sessions. Now travels with me on the road. Love and light, Wendy.”
Wendy Coman
“Helen has a beautiful respectful manner that is both professional and heartfelt. I immediately felt at ease to be working with her. Through simple guided steps she leads you through ways to tune in and accept what is going on for yourself right now. She helps you to explore ways to express that on paper. I was experiencing grief and sadness at the time of her class, but the process allowed me to accept it in a very nurturing way. The artwork we made gave me a greater understanding and I was able to leave the session peacefully and ready to move forward. Thank you.”
