It is an honour to hold space for you
“I was a bit hesitant about trying art therapy, but Bernice was so welcoming and made me feel so comfortable that any doubt quickly disappeared. The sessions felt like a refuge from the world, with nothing right or wrong, just reflection, exploration and greater understanding. The groups felt very safe and accepting. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new way to express themselves and discover things they didn’t expect.” - Anne
“I attended the group art journaling classes with Bern and can’t recommend her work enough. The space Bern created enabled me to feel listened to and heard, even though it was specifically art focused, and beyond words indeed. Bern creates a calm space that you can bring your whole self to, is inclusive and safe, and I am very grateful for the space she created during a difficult time in my life. Highly recommend her as a therapist and guided art professional. Thank you Bern!” - Jess
“The creative journaling group beautifully facilitated by Bern from Beyond Words Art Therapy was a deeply enriching and supportive space for me to process feelings, express myself and connect through shared resonance with others in the group. I felt less alone with my feelings. I was able to connect to myself and listen. I was able to move through pain and discomfort in a way that was held and enabled me to explore creatively which I highly valued. Bern is a gentle, genuine and insightful guide who was able to confidently lead the space and provided new stimulants each week which kept things unexpected and interesting” - Lauren
“Art therapy with Bern allowed me to express in ways I was not aware of. Creating and reflecting in such a safe and playful environment, facilitated by Bern’s words of encouragement and understanding, allowed me to feel comfortable and regain joy in creating while gaining a deeper understanding of myself. I highly recommend Bern and her practice” - Aaron
