Hi, my name is Clare. I am a child and adolescent counsellor using the arts. I take a genuine interest in young people and enjoy engaging with them in an informal approach. Sometimes, young people aren’t able to talk about how they feel. I offer an alternative means of expressing complex or painful experiences that may otherwise be difficult to convey in words alone. It’s vital to offer ways of communicating feelings other than through everyday language, for example, with paint, clay, music, drama or sand play. I will always follow the child’s lead, as my first priority is for the child/young person to feel relaxed and comfortable.
Creating artwork can be an enjoyable and non-threatening way of helping children work through their issues. Imagery and metaphor or simply playing can open the door to a dialogue that's less intimidating and helps us reach the heart of the problem.
Research shows that more children are depressed and anxious than ever before. By helping children to talk about their feelings we can have a major and beneficial impact on their self-esteem and self-acceptance. Children and young people who can talk about their feelings are far less likely to carry emotional baggage into adulthood.
