ABOUT SHARON CODY

"I am a registered Counsellor (ACA) and a process-orientated Creative Arts Therapist (B. Couns, UNDA, GradDipArtTherapy, MU) working in the evidence-based psychotherapeutic field of Creative Expression. My approach firstly is to provide a welcoming, safe, open, non-judgmental, creative space for participants to explore and view conscious and unconscious thoughts, feelings and beliefs. My belief is that image making within a therapeutic framework has tremendous potential for communication beyond words and for enhancing a sense of wellbeing.

My work is also based on an integrative approach combining the practice of Creative Arts/Expression and Mindfulness. I introduce art making in the present by using a multimodal approach of art mediums including drawing, painting, collage, clay work, expressive writing and music to develop a more cohesive sense of self, bringing together an increase of self-awareness and acceptance. It gives us permission to become a non-judgmental observer of ourselves and our own environments...I look forward to sharing love of art with you and exploring creative expression in the heart place space."
