About Healing with the Arts
Art has the power to bypass the thinking mind and connect us directly to what we feel. At Amyas Therapy, Healing with the Arts workshops are designed to help you process emotions, gain insight, and reconnect with your creative, intuitive self.
No artistic experience is required—only a willingness to explore and express. These sessions are about process, not product.
Creative therapies may support:
-
Stress, anxiety and emotional overload
-
Self-expression when words feel hard to find
-
Trauma recovery and emotional regulation
-
Personal growth, confidence and clarity.
What is Healing with the Arts?
Healing with the Arts draws on principles of art therapy and other forms of creative therapies, such as dance movements, creative writing, and poetry, to help you connect with your inner world through colour, shape, texture, movement, words, and images. It offers a gentle yet powerful way to externalise thoughts, feelings and experiences.
You’ll work with materials like paint, pastels, collage, and natural objects, guided by prompts that support self-reflection, emotional release and personal insight.
What to expect
In a typical workshop, Ilona will guide you through:
-
A brief grounding or meditation practice
-
A creative prompt or theme
-
Time to create freely, without judgment
-
Optional sharing and reflection (in group settings).
Workshops are available in 1:1 or small group settings and are held in a nurturing space designed to support openness, safety, and creativity.

Individual sessions are typically 60 minutes. Group workshops may run 90 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the format.
While Ilona draws on art therapy techniques, her approach is integrative and experience-based, designed to meet clients where they are emotionally and creatively.
