About
Robyn Jaffe
"My passion is to help you explore your inner being for healing through Art Therapy and Transpersonal Counselling. My work is guided by a deep understanding of Buddhist philosophy and 40 years of practice. I am trained in healing practices that are restorative and bring about balance to the body and mind. In a gentle and nurturing space, I can hold the space for you to journey into States of Consciousness through using specific Art Therapy and Transpersonal Counselling processes. These are accessed through relaxation and guided imagery meditation followed by a creative expression. You will be guided to an awakening to your own beauty, perfection, balance and maturity through a reconnection to your inner wisdom."
How I Can Help You:
Transpersonal Art Therapy and Counselling is a holistic approach that addresses the mind, body, and spirit. Through gentle meditation and guided visualization, it helps you connect with your inner wisdom and find solutions from within.
The therapy incorporates various creative art processes like painting, drawing, clay work, collage, and journaling to identify strengths, opportunities for growth, and relaxation techniques. No prior art experience is required.
Expressing feelings through creative processes can be especially beneficial when words fail to convey emotions effectively, applicable to individuals of all ages, including children and teens.
​
Specific Areas of Help:
​
Anxiety: I can assist you by focusing on your strengths, using guided visualizations, and introducing relaxation techniques like meditation and breathwork through gentle art processes.
​
Depression: We can explore triggers, use creative processes to examine recent events contributing to your low mood, and consider the connection between your experiences and spiritual growth.
​
Grief: During times of loss, I offer a safe space to express feelings through creative means, discuss your loss in a supportive way, and introduce healing rituals to work through grief.
​
Trauma: To help you recover from past traumas, I employ gentle processes to build resilience, explore art for clarity and insight, and teach simple relaxation and breathing techniques.
​
Life Transitions: Whether due to illness, family changes, or retirement, I can guide you through creative processes to make sense of your feelings, heal from grief, and draw on your life experience to navigate this period using your own resources.
Transpersonal Art Therapy for Children: Benefits and Approach
Transpersonal Art Therapy is a powerful way to encourage artistic expression using various visual arts like drawing, painting, collage, clay modelling, and mandalas. I can work with children one-on-one or in small groups, using art to build resilience, explore emotions, reduce anxiety, and boost self-esteem.
​
Benefits of Transpersonal Art Therapy for Children:
​
Self-Expression: Art provides a non-verbal outlet for children to convey their feelings and thoughts. Through art therapy, they can communicate and process experiences in a safe setting.
​
Emotional Release: Art enables children to release pent-up emotions and stress, helping them cope with challenging situations and alleviate anxiety.
​
Self-Awareness: Engaging in art making promotes self-awareness and insight, aiding children in understanding their thoughts and emotions on a deeper level.
​
Coping Skills: Art therapy teaches children healthy ways to manage stress and difficult emotions, fostering resilience through creativity.
​
Empowerment: Creating art and observing progress enhances self-esteem and confidence, positively impacting overall well-being.
​
Problem-Solving: Art therapy encourages creative thinking and problem-solving skills, which can extend to other areas of life.
​
Social Skills: Group sessions foster interaction and teach essential social skills like communication, empathy, and cooperation.
​
Mindfulness: Art making promotes mindfulness and relaxation, helping children stay present in the moment. Simple meditations and relaxation techniques are used to tap into the unconscious mind before the artistic process.
​
Emotional Regulation: Art therapy assists children in effectively managing their emotions, particularly useful for those facing behavioural or emotional challenges.
​
Trauma Processing: Art therapy aids children in processing and healing from traumatic experiences, offering a safe outlet to express and understand their feelings.
​
Academic Improvement: Art engagement positively influences cognitive and academic abilities, improving concentration, focus, and problem-solving skills.
​
Cultural Exploration: Transpersonal art therapy includes cultural elements, enabling children to connect with their heritage and identity.
It's important to remember that art therapy's effectiveness depends on the child's needs, their rapport with the therapist, and the chosen therapeutic approach. As a qualified and experienced art therapist, I customize sessions to suit each child's specific requirements.
