Next to Body Psychotherapy I offer Creative Counselling for professional film- and theater makers, writers and visual artists with a project; in research phase or looking to strengthen and invigorate the work.
Alongside mental and emotional processes, the body is as an important key to understanding where you are in respect to your creative project. In a work session you are invited to enter a state of curiosity and not-knowing, and move towards a more complete perception of what is. Together we investigate what obstructs and supports your creative ability, and aim to free you from unhelpful habitual images and behaviour. When the project is approached in a more embodied way, from a place of attention, openness and congruence, new images and ideas arise.The process includes group and individual work. The feedback and reflections of other participants enrich the creative processes profoundly.
