Creativity and Imagination

Working with images

Our creativity and imagination play a vital role in cultivating change. Our rational minds often follow familiar patterns, while engaging with images can open pathways to fresh insights about ourselves and our future. If our imagined self remains trapped in old narratives, our will to change can feel conflicted. To grow and evolve, we must first imagine new possibilities.

Symbolic work with images allows us to engage with complex inner experiences without overanalysing. An image can represent a feeling, a thought, or even a facet of our personality or potential. This can bring a fun and creative dimension to self-understanding and therapy as well as inviting deeply moving experiences.

When we connect with our inner world, we tap into our creative, non-rational experiences. Yet in our externally focused culture, we are seldom encouraged to explore our imaginal realms yet this inner wilderness is brimming with possibilities for self-discovery.

I offer image work in my therapy to help you learn more about yourself and to help you evoke change from within. Find out more about what I offer here.
