Anne-Claire Ducatez, Art-Thérapeute, Infirmière Indépendante à domicile

Art is an aesthetic form of entertainment for human beings; it appeals to the emotions. Everyone is particularly sensitive to certain forms of art: visual arts, dance, music, etc.

Added to this is the word "therapy." Art then becomes a tool for overcoming physical or mental problems, or even for personal development.

Who is art therapy for?

Art therapy can be practiced at any age: by children, teenagers, adults, and seniors.

No prior drawing skills are necessary.

A preliminary interview is necessary before beginning art therapy, but also to explain the therapeutic framework. During this interview, listening carefully will allow for a good understanding of the person's needs and difficulties in order to then put in place the appropriate treatment plan.

WHO AM I?

I have always loved art in its various forms, including visual arts, crafts, music, and dance.

After studying fine arts and illustration at St LUC, I went on to study nursing.

Having worked in this profession for over twenty years at Geneva University Hospitals, I then trained in art therapy and obtained a DAS in art therapy from HES-SO at HETSL in Lausanne.

Today, with my wealth of experience working with patients as a nurse and my degree in art therapy, I combine art and care to help people seeking art therapy treatment.

I am a member ofAPSAT and ASCA-certified.
