CREATIVE THERAPY, THE OCHRE WAY This concept brings materials and conversation into the same room. It is about the experience of exploring, not making something impressive. Your preferences and the meaning you give to your work come first.

Not a masterpiece. A place to start.

An outline for a first conversation, not a fixed programme. A real practitioner should explain their approach and discuss what feels appropriate for you.

A little structure. A lot of space.

ROOM TO EXPLORE

An outline for a first conversation, not a fixed programme.

01

Begin with what you would like to understand. There is no need to arrive with a finished explanation.

Arrive as you are.

02

Discuss materials, conversation and personal preferences. Ask what participation would involve before deciding.

Make room for choice.

03

Leave space to describe the experience in your own words, without searching for a correct interpretation.

Notice what emerges.

04

Talk about questions, expectations and whether the approach feels like a suitable fit.

Consider the next step.

What you make does not have to explain everything.
