INDIVIDUAL
For a one on one session, the Counsellor assists the Client to access her/his own image-making abilities. The client is encouraged to visualise and create a representation of thoughts and emotions that they may not otherwise be able to articulate. Counsellor and Client then jointly explore the meaning of the images in light of the relationships and personal experiences, which may be nurturing or distressing.
​
Individual sessions are customised according to Client's needs. Clients can also choose the therapy from the

GROUP
​For group work (5-20 persons), we use the Group Mural Technique, a clinical and goal-oriented approach that was designed by German Art Therapist Flora von Spreti. It uses art-making to help participants express emotions, confront conflicts, and gain insight into their experiences.
​
The theme for the activity is customised according to the group's profile and shared goals. For a longer term regular group art therapy, we work closely with the host client on the themes so as to achieve the desired outcomes set for the group.
Goal: A space where individuals can engage in art creation, sharing, and discussion of personal narratives, fostering powerful connections and collective healing experiences.

Life Experiences We Support
Rather than focusing on diagnoses or labels, we explore the experiences and transitions that many of us encounter at different stages of life.
​
These may include:
​
Life Transitions and Change
Adjusting to new chapters such as career changes, retirement, changes in family roles, relocation, ageing, caregiving or other significant turning points.
Stress and Feeling Overwhelmed
Creating space to slow down, reflect and reconnect when life feels demanding, busy or emotionally tiring.
Self-Care and Emotional Well-Being
Exploring what it means to care for ourselves emotionally, mentally and creatively, especially when we have spent much of our time caring for others or meeting everyday responsibilities.
Identity and Sense of Self
Reflecting on who we are as our roles, relationships and circumstances change over time.
Relationships and Connection
Exploring our experiences of family, friendships, partnerships, workplace relationships and the ways we connect with others.
Loss, Change and Letting Go
Making space for the emotions that can accompany endings, separation, bereavement and other forms of change or loss.
Confidence and Self-Understanding
Developing greater awareness of our thoughts, feelings, strengths and inner resources.
Work, Purpose and New Directions
Reflecting on career transitions, changing priorities, burnout, retirement, purpose and what we may want from the next stage of life.
Creativity and Personal Growth
Using art and creative expression as a way to discover new perspectives, explore feelings and reconnect with parts of ourselves that may have been overlooked.
Simply Needing Time to Pause
Sometimes there is no particular problem to solve. We may simply need a space away from our usual responsibilities to reflect, create and listen more closely to ourselves.
WOODS welcomes people from different backgrounds and life experiences. No artistic ability is required to participate in our art-based sessions.
Our programmes are intended to support reflection, self-awareness and emotional well-being. They are not a substitute for specialised medical or psychiatric treatment where such care is required.
