Lauren Bowering

Registered Psychotherapist

“I use art to help me make sense of the world around me (and within me). I believe that each client is the expert of themselves and holds the answers within themselves, and that my role, along with creative expression, is to help you find those answers.”

About Me

I offer a space where you can explore your inner world through creative expression. If you’re seeking to understand yourself better or feel stuck, art can be a powerful guide. I believe you hold your own answers. Together, we can use creative expression to uncover them. This process helps make sense of complex feelings and experiences, moving at your unique pace. It’s a gentle way to find clarity and connect with your inner wisdom.

Approach

Art-making guides how I listen and respond, inviting experiments rather than explanations. In sessions in Hamilton or online in English, we move at a pace you set, using simple materials and gentle prompts. For stress, burnout or trauma, I help you notice patterns in images, name felt sensations, and translate discoveries into small changes between meetings. People who value hands-on, reflective work often find this approach clarifying and steadying.
