Ceri (Kerry) is an art therapist.

She sees individual clients in a private therapeutic studio. A member of the British Association of Art Therapy (BAAT: www.baat.org), Ceri is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC: http://www.hpc-uk.org). Ceri is available to work with a limited selection of referred clients and a small group of art therapists for clinical supervision. Ceri’s core client list comprises an e

lite group of individuals committed to an intense psychological exploration that will precipitate personal transformation. This is psychotherapy on the cusp of creative coaching. Spaces only occasionally become available for long-term work. Qualified in 2005 as an art therapist, Ceri had worked as an artist and art teacher for a number of years. Her initial therapeutic role involved working with learning disabled children. Ceri’s MSc research was developed from working with adults struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. Her doctoral research, undertaken through Queen’s University Belfast, explored the role of the art materials in art therapy. The art materials can stimulate awareness when they take on a life, an agency, of their own. The maker gains access to powerful creative energies that are vital components of human well-being. These energies are not merely the foundations of art-making but the building-blocks of interpersonal relationship. Recent advances in neuroscience have begun to open-up new ways to understand the healing potential of these creative processes. Ceri’s most recent clients are adults working in the intensely demanding area of health and social care. Emotions are contagious and therapists, doctors, life coaches and teachers often find themselves walking a fine line attempting to balance their own emotional needs with those of their clients. Creativity, however, is also contagious and can, especially within the protective yet inspiring experiences of art therapy, provide an accessible, safe and anxiety-free means to manage burnout and stress in a manner beyond the capacity and professional confines of clinical supervision. Self-care is crucial for seasoned clinicians as well as trainees and, more often than those who care for others would like to admit, those in caring roles consistently require a taste of their own therapeutic medicine.

Deep Wellness through Art

Hello. Welcome to my page. I am Ceri. I am an artist, an art therapist, a teacher and a researcher. My Doctoral research, undertaken through Queen’s University Belfast, explored the role of the art materials in art therapy.

I run painting workshops in Ballymena, Northern Ireland. Expressing yourself in paint is restorative and healing. It is also fun. Using your imagination can soothe your stresses and help to create new positive brain pathways. Exploring and experimenting with vibrant art materials will awaken your senses and rejuvenate your sense of wonder. ‘Power Painting’ replenishes your creative juices, refreshes your imagination and feeds your mind.

Come and recharge your creativity. You need no special skills. Creativity is your birthright. Come and discover how good it feels to make simple, spontaneous marks without criticism or judgement.

Join me in Midtown Makers, Church Street Ballymena.
