Working as a psychotherapist Tine works psychodynamically. She helps the client to increase and improve his awareness about self and others, intra- and interpersonal relations and how to influence the circumstances, or how to cope with them if there really is nothing else that can be done.

Working with Art Therapy Tine Sylvest uses some of the artistic ways of expression in order to help people in therapy increase their awareness e.g. by learning more about themselves, their resources, their possibilities, what they really want and how to get it, and different ways to cope with reality. Working with the artistic expressions most often corresponds with dialogue, as it is important that the client learns how to make mind, body, thoughts and feelings cooperate, and to make sure that the use of the artistic expressions really has meaning.
