Description

Benefits

In group counselling I am primarily using creative methods, mainly image. On top of this, I organize discussion groups and one-to-one counselling. Creative methods can be used also in one-to-one meetings. My line of work is not art teaching nor psychotherapy. The service is not health care in nature. It is a social welfare service that promotes inclusion and social interaction. In addition, I also offer service outside the context of social welfare, for example in the form of workplace well-being support. The service is about easily approachable creative activity and discussion support to strengthen wellbeing. The purpose of using creative methods is not to create as fine looking art pieces as possible, instead the idea is to concentrate on the present moment and relax by creating images, without taking any pressure about the end result. Participating in these activities don’t require any previous experience on creating images. In the activities the focus is in the present moment and the future, however the past will be taken into account.
