Julia Byrne specializes in art therapy and offers these insights on the practice:
Lifespan Counselling Art Therapy offers confidential and professional therapy to children, teens, adults, couples, and families who are seeking support.
Lifespan therapists provide a safe, confidential setting in which clients are encouraged to explore their concerns through the creative process, enabling internal feelings and emotions to be externalized into a visual form. In the process, the art therapist and client work together in partnership to understand the art product made in each session as it pertains to the client’s life. Deeper insight into one’s life situation, or issues, leads to the ability to problem solve, and make changes, thus supporting the release of potential emotional conflict and distress. This process helps clients navigate challenging areas of their lives.
The art therapeutic process enables clients to reach a fuller realization of their potential, by envisioning, and striving to live live a more balanced harmonious life. Through the therapeutic relationship, emotional, psycho-social and developmental needs are addressed with the intention of effecting short, mid-term and long-lasting change.
