🧠 Understanding Attachment Styles In Children ✨#attachmentstyles #attachmentstylestherapy #emotionalwellbeing #mentalhealthmatters #SelfDiscovery #arttherapy #Parenting #childdevelopment #emotionalhealthawareness

Hello, my name is Mairi Perry and I’m an art therapist based in Edinburgh. I offer psychodynamic art therapy primarily for children & young people but also work with adults. My role is to help people express thoughts and feelings they may not be aware they have (often known as unconscious thoughts).    Often these unconscious thoughts affect our mood and behaviour in ways that we aren’t even aware of, and which may not always make sense to us.    Through creative activities and play, art therapy can gently help people to explore these deeper feelings, helping them process emotions, reduce anxiety, and gain a better sense of themself.    Art therapy provides a safe and supportive space where they can express what’s on their minds in a way that feels natural and comfortable. I am a fully qualified Art Psychotherapist registered member of BAAT (British Association of Art Therapists), and HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council). ✨✨✨ Our referral can be found on our contact page on the website but you can also email to enquire more: Perrypsychotherapy@outlook.com www.perrypsychotherapy.co.uk

Such an interesting CPD course last week held by Christine Meek, working with Dreams. I find dreamwork and the unconscious mind fascinating and will be offering this as part of therapy sessions. This was held at the Salisbury Centre which has beautiful gardens. @thesalisburycentre @eventsgreenwood

Did you know that the art therapists often engages in the creative process alongside their clients? This shared creative experience can help foster a sense of companionship, trust, and understanding between the therapist and the individual receiving therapy. The mutual creation of art can be a powerful and therapeutic experience, allowing for open communication and the exploration of emotions, thoughts, and experiences through art-making. This process can help individuals express themselves in ways that may be challenging to articulate verbally and can contribute to the overall therapeutic benefits of art therapy.
