movement-based creative arts therapy

Kia rere te waihanga – may creativity flow

Alleviate is a private creative arts therapy service based in Auckland, offering therapy, supervision, training and collaborative projects.

creative arts therapy

Creative Arts Therapy is an innovative approach towards well-being. Previous arts experience is not required, as the emphasis is on the creative process rather than the product. Creative arts therapy is suitable for all ages, and can be particularly helpful for those who may be experiencing life changes, trauma, relationship issues, lack of confidence, illness or diverse abilities. It can be very useful when it is difficult to find words to adequately express feelings, or when a person tends to over-verbalise, which can make it challenging to access emotions and authentic expression of feeling. It is in our creativity that we can find expression for that which troubles us and for that which we want to celebrate.
