Flygare Therapy & Art Studio

---

Flygare Therapy & Art Studio offers a professional and safe setting for presence, expression, and growth. The practice includes both individual and shared processes, with a focus on long‑term health, quality of life, and inner balance.

Here, art therapy, reflective dialogue, mindfulness‑based approaches, and creative processes come together in clearly held and thoughtfully structured formats, adapted to different needs and contexts. Art therapy is an established method in which creative expression is used to explore emotions, process experiences, and support psychological well‑being. The creative work is combined with conversation and mindful presence in ways that are both structured and gentle.

Research shows that creative expression in therapeutic contexts can contribute to reduced stress, improved emotional regulation, and increased quality of life.

Flygare Therapy & Art Studio offers art therapy, creative coaching, Mindfulness‑Based Art Therapy (MBAT), painting workshops, as well as courses and workshops for individuals, groups, workplaces, and organizations.

Programs are adapted to context and need, with a focus on stress management and recovery, greater clarity in emotional and life situations, illness‑related stress and quality of life in physical illness, health‑promoting work in everyday life and professional settings, as well as creative development and exploration.

I am Ulrika Billingham, the founder of Flygare Therapy & Art Studio. I am a certified art therapist with a three‑year postgraduate training in psychotherapy with a focus on art therapy, a licensed teacher in education, art, design and visual culture, educated at Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm, and a meditation teacher.

My work is grounded in an integrative approach where art‑based, pedagogical, and psychotherapeutic methods come together in safe and well‑held processes for reflection, recovery, and personal development. I have extensive experience working with both individuals and groups in creative and reflective processes across educational, professional, and therapeutic contexts.

Mindfulness and meditation have been a central part of my life and work for over 20 years. With a long‑term meditation practice and training within the Buddhist tradition, my work emphasizes presence, emotional regulation, and a compassionate relationship to inner experience. A core belief in my practice is that images and creative expression can give form to experiences that are difficult to reach through words alone, supporting deeper self‑understanding, access to inner resources, and meaningful change.

At Flygare Therapy & Art Studio, the following services are offered:

• Art Therapy
  A gentle and in‑depth therapeutic approach combining image‑making and conversation. Art therapy can be helpful when words are difficult to find and supports self‑understanding, emotional regulation, and recovery.
• Creative Coaching
  A forward‑focused and reflective coaching approach that uses conversation and creative processes to support clarity, decision‑making, and change. This service is not therapy and is suitable for personal or professional development.
• Stress Management & Mindfulness‑Based Art Therapy (MBAT)
  A structured and creative approach to stress reduction and recovery, combining mindfulness practices with process‑based art‑making. MBAT can be offered individually or in groups and is also suitable as a health‑promoting or workplace‑based intervention.
• Mind & Art Studio – Courses and Workshops
  Creative courses and workshops focused on intuitive painting, exploration, and creative flow. No prior experience is required; the emphasis is on process, curiosity, and presence rather than artistic results.
• Health, Care & Services                                                                                                                                        Creative and health‑promoting programs support well‑being, recovery, and quality of life in health and care settings. Using process‑based art‑making informed by art therapy methods, supportive spaces are created for expression, inner resources, and meaning.
• Workplace & Organizations
  Creative and mindfulness‑based programs support well‑being, recovery, and sustainable work life within organizations. Programs are offered in flexible formats and adapted to the needs and context of each workplace.

Sessions and workshops can be adapted for individuals, groups, organizations, and different professional or life contexts.

All services are available in english as well as in swedish. Ulrika uses english on a daily basis and works fluently in both spoken and written english. Clients are welcome to choose the language that feels most natural and safe in both conversation and creative processes.

Sessions can be held:

• In person at the studio (Jönköping, Sweden)
• Online via secure video sessions 

Both formats offer the same professional structure and attentive presence, allowing flexibility regardless of location.
