You or your child may have been diagnosed as gifted or double gifted, a term often associated with exceptional intellectual abilities, but which can also come with unique emotional, social, and relational challenges.
Through art therapy, individuals with high potential can better understand their emotions, manage anxiety, and develop overall well-being. Each session is designed to foster creative expression, strengthen self-confidence, and facilitate a calming inner journey.
If you are looking for personalized support to navigate the sensitivity, emotional intensity, and challenges of high potential, you are in the right place. Together, we will use the power of art to explore your inner world and find a balance between the demands of everyday life and your need for authenticity and fulfillment.
Gifted children have the ability to use art materials in different and unusual ways.

Art therapy is a valuable tool for helping high potential (HP) children, who may face unique emotional and social challenges despite their intellectual abilities. Here’s how it can help:
Emotional expression
HP children often experience intense emotions that they struggle to express. Art therapy allows them to channel these feelings creatively, fostering a deeper understanding of themselves.
Anxiety reduction
Faced with perfectionism and fear of failure, art therapy provides a calming space where they can explore their emotions, helping to reduce anxiety.
Confidence building
Through creating, HP children gain confidence and learn to accept their talents while letting go of perfectionistic expectations.
Creativity stimulation
Art therapy stimulates creative thinking, allowing them to explore new ideas and structure their thoughts in a playful, non-judgmental way.
Social skills development
Group art therapy sessions help develop their social skills, fostering a sense of belonging and empathy.
