WHAT ARE OUR INDIVIDUAL SERVICES?
We provide individual professional wellbeing support sessions for anyone working in the creative industries.
Whether you are an actor, dancer, writer, director, singer, creative, crew member or producer - our sessions are designed to help you reflect on and strengthen your relationship with your professional life.
​
Whether you work as a free-lancer or as part of an organisation - we're here to help.
Individual Support Sessions are influenced by our advanced experience as psychotherapists and also our lived experience of the working in the creative industries.
​
The sessions will be focused on your professional-health, however, if personal life issues are affecting your work, we can explore that with you and will be sensitive to the limitations of the work we can offer.
When longer-term / open-ended therapeutic support might be more suitable, we will discuss this with you and can signpost you to other services that could help.
OUR APPROACH TO YOUR CARE
WHAT ELSE MIGHT YOU NEED TO KNOW
All sessions are delivered by highly experienced psychotherapists, all with lived experience of working in the creative industries. We don't use student/trainer therapists or newly qualified practitioners.
​
Sessions are online and last 50 minutes.
​
You'll be assigned to work with someone from the team based on the teams availability, back-ground and experience. If you have a preference, let us know and we'll do our best to align you with them.
​
For costs, please contact the team and we'll be happy to let you know more.
If you are drawing upon autobiographical material it is important to consider how you are going to take care of yourself when putting private material out into the public arena. This is even more important when the personal stories contain sensitive, challenging or traumatic material.
​
With the support and guidance of an Artist Wellbeing Practitioner you can take time thinking about personal ethics, care & responsibilities to yourself, to other people in your story, your creative team and your audience.
Art often comes from a wound, and the artistic process is often a journey of self and societal healing. You may want support and guidance on how to avoid re-traumatisation and enhance healing for both yourself and your audience.
WORKING WITH AUTOBIO-GRAPHICAL MATERIAL
REFLECT &
DEEPEN YOUR PRACTICE
No matter what your job is - taking time to stop, breathe and reflect with a professional who is skilled in deep listening, compassionate challenge and systemic thinking can profoundly enhance your relationship to yourself and your career.
​
In an industry that has failed to teach or forgotten how to trust reflective practice, we're here to help bring that back.​
