Online art therapy
What to expect
I will request your location (if not at home) for emergencies only.
• Video calls for our art therapy sessions are conducted on Google Meet, which is password protected and encrypted.
• Please ensure you have Google Meet set up on your device before our session; test your mic and audio in advance to enhance your creative expression.
• I'll email you a Google Meet invitation with the meeting link.
• Make sure your internet or data connection is reliable for optimal call quality.
• If we lose connection, have your phone ready as a backup so I can call to continue our mental health support.
• Do not record sessions; I will maintain regular session records.
• Please ensure you have art materials and paper available where possible. If any art is made, we can share it over the screen. All art making should be kept safe. As with face-to-face sessions, please refrain from asking about the art making unless the client shares freely. Art can also be shared securely on an agreed WhatsApp.
• Once therapy has ended, it may be helpful for the client to leave the room and have time to process the session. This might take the form of a relaxing activity of their choice.
