About this class

You are not alone. In this course, Instructor Sara Powell invites you to a creative space where together participants will engage in artmaking, reflect on their emotional wellbeing, and on managing and mitigating the impact of the pandemic, while reflecting on transitioning with a lack of connectivity and uncertainty, fear, and anxiety. This course provides an avenue and opportunity to interact, ask questions, and collectively support each other. 

The session will be facilitated by an Art Psychotherapist. No previous art-making is required. Participants will, however, require some basic art materials which can be found at home.

She is an Art Psychotherapist and is registered with the Health Care Profession Council (HCPC) UK and a member of the British Association of Art Therapists (BAAT). Sara has over 11 years of clinical experience and has provided psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, and families, and facilitated a variety of groups and programs. Sara is passionate about supporting women, specializing in child and adolescent-related disorders, and has worked extensively with people of determination and those who are non-verbal. Sara is a mother to a toddler and during her pregnancy observed a need for perinatal and postnatal mental health as well as an overall lack of early intervention services available for children 6 years and below, which led Sara to the introduction of ATIC’s Early Intervention and Child Development services.
