The Artist Well Janet Stalenhoef

Description

Facilitating the processes of the healing arts is to explore personal potential, find wellness and wholeness to live our "best life". I use the processes of creative art therapies and somatic experiencing to develop internal resources, and resiliency during times of life transitions, difficulty and self exploration. I want to work with adults and children to nurture our internal capacity to bring about health and personal growth. As we face challenges as a result of life circumstances, managing stress, relationships, or change we may require professional assistance to facilitate self-discovery and integrate aspects of ourselves to bring about personal discovery and even healing.
I provide an arts based, body centred psychotherapeutic approach which draws upon my experiences as artist, an educator, and an Art Therapist to work with both adults and children. Alongside Art Therapy I integrate Expressive Arts and Self Regulation Therapy, (SRT), which has its rooms in Somatic Experiencing SE. Promoting positive self-esteem and self-awareness leads to greater regulation and can free up energy that can be put towards learning, growing and greater happiness so adults and children alike can cope with personal challenges, relationships, learning, sleeping and adjusting to new life situations. The language of art explores feelings that otherwise might not be accessed and thus communicated.
