Integrative Arts Psychotherapy
Catherine has an MA in Integrative Arts Psychotherapy from the Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education ( IATE) Integrative Psychotherapy draws upon different but complementary approaches, depending on the needs of the client. In addition to traditional verbal psychotherapy, her integrative practice includes the use of the arts and the imagination, enabling clients to communicate their feelings through image, when words may seem hard to find.
There is no right or wrong way of using the arts in psychotherapy and there is no obligation to use any of the art forms offered. They are there to aid communication if desired. Because the emphasis is on expressing and exploring, there is no need to be at all artistically talented.
