My name is Alexandra Florschutz, MA and I am a trained Art Psychotherapist (hcpc registered and CRB checked), Artist, Film Maker, Doula and mother with life-long experience supporting people with their emotional and psychological healing due to being raised in a medical environment. I have a range of experience working with adults and children both in adult mental health, Child & Adolescent Mental Health (CAMHS), Education and in Private Practice.
I am currently working from my private practice at home in Sussex. I also offer one to one Counselling sessions. My greatest passion is supporting women liberate their Feminine power through creative expression, particularly during pregnancy. I am a practicing artist and exhibit regularly. The creative process can enhance emotional well-being in anyone who is willing to try it, whether it is for personal development or more in-depth therapy and can explore any life issue'.

Art Psychotherapy is a form of Psychotherapy that uses a mix of talking and art making.
Clients who are referred to an Art Psychotherapist need not have previous experience or skill in art as the art therapist is not primarily concerned with making an aesthetic or diagnostic assessment of the client's image.
The overall aim of its practitioners is to enable a client to effect change and growth on a personal level through the use of art materials in a safe and facilitating environment.
You do not need to be good at art as it is not an art class.

We can use art as a way of communicating our thoughts and feelings without having to use words - a kind of symbolic speech - because it has the ability to access our 'unconscious' part of ourselves.
This is where we bury our pain, hurt, frustrations, anger, fears and difficult memories especially from childhood, birth or even in the womb.
Art inevitably tells our personal stories in all their dimensions: our feelings, thoughts, experiences, values and beliefs.
In the process of making these visible through art, we are offered a way to know ourselves from a new perspective and an opportunity to transform that perspective.

What is Art Therapy?
Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses a mix of talking and art making.
You do not need to be good at art as it is not an art class.
The aim is not to increase your art skills or make finished pieces of art for exhibiting.
You may talk with me about your personal problems, your artwork and your feelings and thoughts.
I will not be analysing your art work without your involvement.
The aim is for us to work together, using the art you make to think about what is happening for you personally.
