313 Proceedings of the Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Congress 5. Findings From the case study above it is concluded that Creative Arts Therapy approaches are very helpful in the helping profession because it provides insight into client problems. For example the bullied boy - throughout the session, his friends gained an understanding on howhe felt when being bullied. The group was able to grasp a clear picture of bully scenario when they put themselves into the outlet of play therapy. It also promotes communication that the person cannot express during a counseling session. In other word, it is another form to verbally articulate their feelings and experiences after expressing themselves through the play and art making. Creative Arts Therapy also provides a glimpse into a person’s inner world and help others understand their point of view. By using the arts skills and approaches allow me to develop an understanding that it is an idea of self-exploration that can lead a person to some insightful conclusions about themselves where most of the time it provides a sense of relief and better understanding on certain aspect of the individual whether good or bad. Every product of creativity in arts therapy need to be processed with the individual who created it. The process helps us to understandmore the personal meaning that the individual tried to project or deliver. In Creative ArtsTherapy, what we predict or interpret is not the same as what the individual try to self express. The art therapy has become a medium to help clients prevent or resolve their psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal growth and development (Crenshaw & Steward, 2014; Webb, 2007). Therefore art therapy is useful treatment tool in the helping profession. 6. Recommendation Based on the outcomes of the CreativeArtsTherapy approaches, few recommendations can be made. Such as to trainmore counselors in using Creative ArtsTherapy skills and approaches in their profession; to establishCreative ArtsTherapy base in Brunei which aims to support andmake the Creative ArtsTherapy development in Brunei sustainable and at the same level like other Asean Countries that have Art Therapy organizations. Encourage counsellors who want to attend short courses on Creative ArtsTherapy workshops in the neighboring country such as Malaysia, at least support in terms of approval to take leave without notice for professional development reason. And last but not least forming a platform between Brunei andMalaysia for Creative ArtsTherapy base. References Malchiodi, Cathy (2006). Art Therapy Sourcebook , McGraw-Hill; 2 nd edition.
