What is a HEArts² Practitioner?

HEArts² Practitioners specialise in providing non-clinical therapeutic services and typically work in non-clinical settings. Their approach to therapy is rooted in the principles of holistic healing and personal growth, focusing on the well-being of individuals rather than clinical diagnosis and treatment.

These practitioners often work in settings such as wellness centres, holistic retreats, community organisations, schools, art studios, and private practice. They may collaborate with other professionals in complementary fields, such as holistic counsellors, life coaches, wellness practitioners, or educators, to provide a comprehensive and integrative approach to healing and personal development.

In non-clinical settings, HEArts² Practitioners offer a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences through creative expression. They may use a combination of artistic modalities, such as visual arts, music, movement, writing, and drama, to facilitate self-reflection, self-discovery, and self-empowerment. The emphasis is on the individual’s unique creative process and subjective experience, allowing them to tap into their inner wisdom and promote holistic well-being.

While HEArts² Practitioners are not involved in clinical diagnosis or treatment of mental health disorders, their work can still be highly impactful for individuals seeking personal growth, stress reduction, emotional healing, and self-exploration. By integrating art and creativity into the therapeutic process, these practitioners help individuals develop greater self-awareness, express their feelings, gain insights, and foster personal transformation.

It’s important to note that in non-clinical settings, HEArts² Practitioners may complement the work of clinical professionals, such as psychologists or licensed therapists, by offering supportive and expressive approaches that enhance overall well-being. However, they do not provide medical or psychiatric treatment, and individuals with severe mental health concerns may be referred to appropriate clinical professionals for specialised care.

If you are interested in engaging the services of a HEArts² Practitioner, it’s essential to inquire about their qualifications, training, and experience in holistic expressive arts therapy. Verify that they are trained in creating a safe and ethical therapeutic space and have the necessary skills to support their personal growth and well-being in a non-clinical setting.
