I am Yvonne Frost, the founder of Art And Mind. My expertise encompasses hypnotherapy, art, and being an Advanced Drawing and Talking Practitioner. With 20 years of teaching experience in secondary schools across Suffolk and Essex, I have worked with SEND pupils and have been trained in Drawing and Talking Therapy, among other interventions, to support SEMH (social, emotional and mental health) needs. In Colchester, as a Drawing and Talking Practitioner, I assist children, teens, and families in overcoming trauma and managing anxiety. In my role as a hypnotherapist, I aid women in achieving specific goals, such as managing menopause symptoms, recovering from trauma, adopting healthy eating habits, and implementing positive life changes. I cherish the way hypnotherapy empowers women to attain enhanced relaxation and wellbeing.
Moreover, I am dedicated to aiding individuals in managing their anxiety through art, creating a stress-free, non-judgmental environment that fosters relaxation. In art, there truly are no mistakes.

Hypnotherapy has been recognised for its potential benefits in promoting relaxation, managing pain, reducing anxiety and stress, facilitating behaviour change, and improving self-regulation.
Hypnotherapy involves inducing a state of deep relaxation, often referred to as a trance or hypnotic state. In this relaxed state, your mind becomes highly focused and receptive to suggestion. It's important to note that this state is not the same as being asleep or unconscious; you are fully aware and in control during the process.
"Had such a fun time at the Drawing and Talking, guided meditation and art session. For someone who can only draw stick men it was so therapeutic and I got so much out of it. The group was small and it felt so comfortable to talk in a group. I will definitely book again. Thank you for running this and making us all feel so relaxed." Women's group participant
"I have never felt so relaxed." Hypnotherapy client
"It helps me calm down and focus... I feel safe." Drawing and Talking client
"I really appreciate your time. My son comes out of your sessions a different boy - as if a weight has been lifted for him."
Creating art is part of who I am but you don’t need to be ‘artistic’ to enjoy creating it.
Creating art allows people to process and release pent-up emotions and reduce emotional stress. Focusing on the creative process can divert attention from stress factors and even act as a kind of meditation.
Our seasonal workshops give you the opportunity to learn a new skill with friends or colleagues. Light refreshments and all materials are included.
It is also a lot of fun!

The primary goal of hypnotherapy is to help you achieve specific outcomes or make desired changes in your life. These goals are typically discussed and agreed upon between you and the therapist before the hypnotherapy session.

No drawing skill is required as the marks on the paper are symbolic and are discussed using story telling and the language of imagination. This helps to reframe past experiences and trauma and to help overcome difficult emotions. It engages the subconscious where memories are stored and habits formed.
Drawing and Talking is suitable for anyone from the age of 5, who has suffered trauma or has underlying emotional difficulties.
Trauma takes many forms and puts the brain into survival mode, so that the individual is unable to relax or engage with the world around them in a fully productive way. For children this can result in becoming disengaged from education and can even lead to exclusion.
This therapy helps individuals recognise and process, emotions, triggers and behaviours. They are able to take back control of their behaviour and most importantly have higher self-esteem.
It is designed to complement, not replace, other specialist therapies.
