Project Create YOU
Unlock your creative and authentic Self with the Internal Parts Work of the creative process. Let the creativity to become an integral part of your life!
Is that YOU?
Do any of those statements sound familiar? I love to work with people who feel creatively blocked, carry creative wounding and face internal obstacles in connecting with their own art and creative expression.
-
Your inner critic voice is loud and may sound like: "I cannot create", I have no talents", "Others are great at art-there is no point for me to create."
-
You struggle to give priority to own art/creativity. You end up doing other duties and creativity seems to be non existing on your to do list.
-
You are finding it difficult to be free, playful and brave in your creative process. You may expect your own art to be serious and good.
About Me
I am the believer onto therapeutic power of creativity in all forms! My first language is creativity and the world makes sense to me when the creative juices are flowing.
My name is Honorata and I wear many creative hats! I am registered Creative Counsellor (MBACP), Therapeutic Arts Practitioner, Expressive Artist and Clay Therapist. I like to refer to myself as the creative unblocker!
In last 10 years I have been facilitating many diverse groups – in person and online running creative arts programmes for communities, people struggling with their mental health and creative souls needed some nourishment to kick off their own creative practice. I have been mentoring creatively people yearning for creativity but blocked internally – I worked with adults and teens, communities and families. I also help professionals wanting to work creatively – including delivering training sessions for Creative Counsellors CIC.
I love working with the late bloomers and those who wonder if they totally disconnected from their creative side. Returning to creativity as an adult myself meant I went through the whole cycle of self-doubt, inner critic voice, feeling my creativity was not enough. I am here to support you to re-discover your own creative connection and navigate the journey! Creativity and art heals – it is your inner resource ready to access!
