Group art psychotherapy

CURRENTLY OPEN

Adult Group Art Psychotherapy

Tuesdays · 5:00-6:00 PM · Starting 20 October 2026 · Vondelstraat 25 Amsterdam

A small, ongoing psychotherapy group  for adults 18+ that combines art-making, reflection, and group process to support emotional growth and deeper self-understanding.

You do not need artistic experience to join. The focus is not on creating “good art,” but on using images, colours, shapes, and creative expression as a way to explore feelings, relationships, and inner experiences that may be difficult to put into words.

What is psychodynamic group art psychotherapy?

Psychodynamic art therapy approaches sessions with curiosity and openness. It looks at how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence our present lives. In a group setting, these patterns often become visible through both conversation and creative expression, creating opportunities for insight, healing, and change.

What you may gain

• Greater emotional awareness and expression.
• A deeper connection with your creative power and imagination.
• Increased self-esteem and self-acceptance.
• Insight into relationship patterns and how they affect your life.
• Improved capacity for reflection, communication, and connection with others.
• A supportive space to explore difficult emotions, transitions, or recurring challenges.

How the sessions work

Each 60-minute session includes:

• A brief check-in
• Guided or open art-making using visual materials (provided)
• Time for reflection and group discussion
• Exploration of themes that emerge through the creative process and interactions within the group

The group is designed to provide a confidential, respectful, and non-judgmental environment where participants can explore themselves at their own pace. A minimum of 3 participants is required and a maximum of 6 participants.
