Question 1

How does art support emotional wellbeing?

Accepted Answer

Talking about challenges can sometimes feel difficult — and solving them only through reasoning can be limiting. While analytical thinking is primarily processed by the left side of the brain, creativity, intuition, and emotional expression are connected to the right side.

Engaging in art-making activates this creative and intuitive part of the brain, allowing thoughts and emotions to surface in a different way than through words alone. Research shows that art used in a therapeutic context can support emotional processing, self-awareness, and personal insight. Our sessions focus on creating this space for reflection and discovery through guided creative expression.

Question 2

Why is therapeutic art coaching different from an art class?

Accepted Answer

In therapeutic art coaching, the focus is not on learning how to make “good” art.
 It’s about the act of creating — in a safe, confidential, and supportive relationship.
There is no right or wrong way to make art. The main goal is self-expression, not perfection.
 Here, the creative process matters more than the final product.

Question 3

What to expect in a session

Accepted Answer

• A safe, confidential space where you can freely express yourself.
 • No art skills needed — every person is naturally creative.
 • Guided exploration of materials: I’ll introduce you to colors, textures, and techniques that support your self-expression.
 • No judgment, no analysis: I won’t interpret your artwork for you. Only you know its meaning — and often, insights reveal themselves naturally through the creative process.
 • Focus on the process, not the product: It’s not about making something “beautiful,” but about what you discover, release, and feel along the way.
 • A chance to reconnect with yourself: Sessions help you relax, gain clarity, and find new perspectives on life’s challenges.

Question 4

Do I need to be good in art?

Accepted Answer

Art therapy is not about making “pretty” artworks.
 Every person is inherently creative — no art skills are required.
In fact, formal art training can sometimes get in the way of the healing effect of free expression. That’s why the role of the therapist is to guide you through different art materials and techniques, helping you discover safe and creative ways to express yourself.
Here, it’s not about the end result, but about the freedom and insight you gain in the process.

Question 5

Do you offer sessions in languages other than English?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In addition to English, sessions can also be conducted in German and Dutch.

Question 6

Where do your sessions take place?

Accepted Answer

All sessions take place in and around Zug, Switzerland, in varying locations. I work with creative spaces like Langhuus in Cham and Loreto in Zug, and I also collaborate with other venues.
For 1:1 sessions, we can use my atelier in Zug or, if you prefer, I can visit you at home.
For corporate workshops, I can organize an event at your office or at a preferred location, for example if you have an offsite. I bring all materials with me.
