Basic Skills of an Art Therapist and Counsellor

Many counsellors who start working as art therapists, psychologists or social workers get easily anxious about needing to have answers for their clients and being able to help.

It comes as a surprise for some that a seasoned counsellor and psychotherapist get more effective and helpful as he or she assumes to know less and starts to truly listen. The 'magic' or working with the unconscious in art therapy is facilitating a process where the client gets the insights, not the therapist.

We are just privileged witnesses of this miracle unfolding. We still play an essential part, however, in guiding the client in their art in a way that allows the insights to emerge.
