Pillars of the reflective practice group
Initial Consultation
Provide clear guidelines, expectations, and schedule for the peer reflective practice group to ensure everyone has understanding of its purpose and goals. A safe environment is set for participants to share thoughts, feelings, and experiences that will be respected and valued.
Art-based Reflection
Participants can engage in creative activities, such as drawing, painting, or writing, to explore their thoughts and feelings related to their experiences. The creative activities is designed to encourage reflection and self-discovery.
Collaboration and Sharing
Participants should work together, sharing ideas, perspectives, and experiences to gain new insights and understanding. Collaboration is key to fostering a sense of community and a shared commitment to professional practice.
Continuous Improvement

Testimonials
In Therapy, I provide a safe space for people to discover their own inner resources, to turn outside inspiration to become their own resources, to be expressive and find meaningful connection with self and others.
What I loved most about working with Yana is that we have been able to form a good working relationship where the making of art has been a real focus. Another thing I have loved is that Yana has been able to challenge me and make me take my thinking deeper on issues that have been brought up. her overall approach which includes her warm demeanour, probing questions and interest in alternative new approaches to art therapy set her apart.

Have you been applying my current clinical skills and approaches to its full potential?
As a practitioner, I have been in the past where I felt inadequate and tried to learn new approaches and take courses.
One day in supervision I paused and reflected upon my practice: This is when I realized the importance of reflective practice. Through regular self-reflection and collaboration with colleagues, I was able to identify areas for improvement and incorporate new techniques into my work.
The result was a more confident and effective practitioner, who was able to provide better care for my clients. That is why I now offer reflective practice services to other healthcare professionals.

F.A.Q.
Art-based reflective practice groups are designed for professionals from a variety of fields, including education, healthcare, social work, and the arts. Participants should have an interest in using art as a tool for reflection and personal and professional growth.
The type of art activities included in an art-based reflective practice group will vary, but may include visual arts, writing, and performance. The focus is on using art as a tool for self-expression and reflection, not on creating a finished product.
The frequency and schedule of the group will depend on the needs and preferences of the participants. Typically, art-based peer reflective practice groups meet regularly, such as once a week or once a month. The group may also have set sessions for a specific period of time.
No, prior art experience is not required to participate in an art-based reflective practice group. The focus is on using art as a tool for reflection, not on artistic skill. Participants of all levels of art experience are welcome to join.
