CORK MEETING

Art Therapy Course – Teacher: Catherine Phillips

Art therapy is the use of colour, shape, texture, symbol and metaphor to express and explore the inner world of the maker. It is the process of making that is important, not the finished image, therefore it is not necessary to have previous art making experience. Catherine will provide themes to work with each week. The group will work within a confidential space for the sixsessions; we will foster a space which is nonjudgemental, respectful, playful and reflective.

Catherine Phillips trained as an art therapist at the University of Hertfordshire, North London, qualifying in 1996. On her return to Ireland Catherine has worked in a variety of settings, including adolescent and adult psychiatry, education, foster care and child safety. At present she has a private practice and is a lecturer on art therapy at the Crawford College of Art and Design.
