Art of Being Therapy & Transpersonal Counselling

“What you are looking for is already in you...
You already are everything you seek.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Transpersonal art therapy is an holistic approach to healing, addressing the totality of your life and lived experience, from physical to mental, emotional, energetic and also the spiritual.

‘Transpersonal’ literally means ‘beyond the ego’, and through myriad creative techniques and attuned guided processes, in a session you are taken on a journey of dropping beneath the limited conception of self and connecting to deeper states of truth, freedom, meaning and ultimately integration and healing.

Lara has intuitively been working in this way for over a decade, with intuition, empathy and creativity being guiding tenets of her offerings, however in 2022 she completed her Advanced Diploma of Transpersonal Art Therapy and Counselling and is now offering sessions for a limited number of clients and students in a 1:1 capacity and group format.

Lara will be running an online group art of being therapy process Ritual & Myth: Descent & Rising in April ‘24.

Testimonials

“Lara has been an incredible guide on my path of healing and self-discovery, particularly after experiencing a significant loss. In our sessions, Lara always created a safe space where she guided me to explore the depths of my inner landscape with curiosity and self-compassion, bringing me to a place where I could discover my own unique answers.
Even over Zoom, Lara's presence has always felt warm and safe.
She’s got a unique gift for helping me drop into my body, teaching me to listen to its subtle yet meaningful language. What stands out is her ability to tune into what is most needed at the moment. Each session has been a unique journey tailored to what was most present for me at that time. I've left each session feeling transformed, more integrated, and at home within myself.”

~ Romy Morssinkhof

“Lara has such an amazing gift for holding space. She creates a very special environment where I could be really honest and open - even although it was over zoom - it was incredibly raw and beautifully revealing! I loved delving into such depths of the heart and soul through art and creativity. These were very special sessions that I would recommend to anyone seeking out meaning and integration in their lives.”
