我們的理念和願景
Our visions and missions
「藝述行」 是由幾位希望以多元藝術 和 心理治療服務香港社會的表達藝術治療師組成，我們希望通過不同的藝術媒介，鼓勵服務使用者表達他們潛在的情感和想法，並在過程中與治療師建立互信的關係，成為他們成長和前進的同行者。
ExpresSoul was form by passionate Expressive Arts Therapists who want to serve the Hong Kong society with arts and psychotherapy, to encourage the service users to express and explore their feelings through different ways. More importantly, to develop a trustworthy relationship and to walk with the service users in their path.
我們相信每個人都有自由表達的權利，當中表達的方式不只局限於言語交流，更能以多種不同的媒介和感官將情感抒發出來。透過不同形式的藝術創作，讓服務使用者了解自己、表達和內觀情感、發掘自身的能力，從而轉化為幫助他們成長和解開鬱結的力量。
WE BELIEVE that each of us has the right to express freely, and not limited to the way of expression. Both verbal and non-verbal communications are essential in expressing emotions through different use of art modalities. Our service users are able to understand and express their thoughts and inner feelings more through different Art forms. They can eventually explore a wider range and develop their strengths, their uniqueness is being appreciated and can further empower the service user to gain insight.
我們相信藝術的價值不以美與醜來衡量，而是一種表達自我的方式，故此我們相信每個人都有自由創作藝術的權利和能力，不論年齡、性別、國籍、宗教或經濟背景等。
WE BELIEVE that the value of Arts are not measured by the quality. Instead, it is a way to express. Therefore, we believe that everyone has the right and ability to create art freely, regardless of their age, sex, nationality, religion and economic background, etc.
我們相信藝術能達到治療功效，在治療的過程中治療師為服務使用者提供一個安全和自由的空間，讓他們運用不同藝術媒介中的創作經歷，探索、與自我對話，藉此建立身、心、靈間的聯繫，促進自我了解，個人成長和發掘自己的內在資源。
WE BELIEVE Arts can achieve therapeutic effects. In the therapeutic process, the therapist will provide a safe and comfortable space for the service user. In the creative process, service user can experience different art modalities, to further explore and communicate with themselves in order to connect with their body, mind, spirit which can enhance self-understanding, gain personal growth and discover their own inner resources.
我們相信每個人都有被了解和接納的需要，他們每個人都有屬於自己的故事，故此我們希望能成為他們的聆聽者和同行的伙伴，不批判、不評價，重視每個人的獨一無二。
WE BELIEVE that everyone of us has the need to be understood and to be accepted. Each of us are unique and has their own story. We want to be their listeners and accompany them along the way of therapy, without any bias and criticisms. We value and cherish everyone's uniqueness.
香港社會集合了來自不同地方和背景的人，每個人都有屬於他們自己的故事。在這裡，我們希望能接觸到不同的人，將表達藝術帶到不同的群體中，讓他們能在這個飽受壓力和混亂的地方，能找到他們內在的力量以面對不同的挑戰。
People in Hong Kong came from diverse backgrounds with their own story. Through this platform, we hope to reach out to different people and bring Arts to the society. In the world of Arts, service users can explore and discover their inner strengths which help them to face challenges in the future.
我們希望能與每個與我們接觸的心靈同行，成為他們路上的一點光和溫暖。
We, the therapists hope to walk with every one of you and to be your guiding light on the path of therapy.
“Perhaps it is in the very chaos itself that new forms of life can emerge. Perhaps it is in darkness we can find the light. In the pain and the suffering, in everything that is dead and resists growth, in all this lies the seeds of new beginnings."
Carl Rogers
