ABOUT US
Bottom-Up Counselling Approach
The name explains itself. In art therapy, you are encouraged to combine ART with an ACTIVITY to explore your inner world. The counselling approach integrates art with a variety of psychotherapy approaches; for example, psychodynamic approaches, humanistic approaches, and psycho-educational approaches.
ARTivity Finder Counselling focuses on a bottom-up approach, that focuses on bodily sensations and nervous system regulation, then moves up to emotional regulation and cognitive processing. One of the art therapy benefits is to emphasize on the kinesthetic and sensory level, which can help clients engage with materials through hand movements and senses to express, and eventually achieve the affective and cognitive levels.
In ARTivity Finder Counselling, although art therapy is our specialty, we offer other counselling services that are based on bottom-up approach to meet client’s needs. Some bottom-up counselling approaches we use to help you include somatic experiencing, sensorimotor psychotherapy, play therapy and internal family systems. We treat stress and anxiety, trauma, loss and grief, life transitions, children’s emotional regulation, and we serve autistic and neurodivergent people.
