Art Therapy for Adult Carers
Prioritising your well-being
Caring for carers
Welcome to Mind Your Self, a holistic and creative way for adult carers to increase well-being. If you're feeling overwhelmed with emotions like grief, anger, or anxiety, or if you're facing challenges with your identity, trauma, or relationships, art therapy can be beneficial for you.
Located in the lively city of Cambridge, my services are easily accessible for the local community. I offer various therapeutic approaches, but art therapy is at the core of what I do. It allows you to express your emotions, discover new ways to cope, and grow as a person. Whether you prefer one-on-one sessions or joining a supportive group, my aim is to create a welcoming space where you can find comfort, strength, and a sense of belonging.
I strongly believe that taking time to focus on self-care can create healthier balance between caregiving responsibilities and your individual needs. This leads to greater strength and resilience within the carer community. Together, let's prioritise your well-being so you can live the life you deserve.
Are you a carer?
As a carer you provide unpaid support and care to a family member, friend, or loved one who may have a disability, chronic illness, mental health condition, or other challenging circumstances. You may often juggle multiple responsibilities and put others’ well-being before your own.
You may also face unique challenges in managing your own work-life balance, have financial concerns, and feel emotional strain.
If you are in need of emotional understanding, validation, and a sense of community to help you feel less isolated, I can offer you a way to prioritise self-care without guilt or judgement.
Art therapy can be a way for you to…
Take a break
Art therapy gives you a chance to take a break from your daily duties and fully engage in a creative activity. It provides a space where you can concentrate on yourself and your own feelings. You might find this experience relaxing and enjoyable as well as insightful.
Share your experience
In art therapy, you can use art to show and share your experiences visually, especially when it's hard to put them into words. When you share your art, it helps others understand and relate to what you're going through, creating a sense of connection and validation.
Feel supported
In therapy, your therapist and others in the group will understand and care about what you're going through without judging you. This connection helps you feel supported and part of a community that encourages and comforts you on your journey.
