What is art therapy?
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art media as a means of self-expression and communication. It combines the creative process with psychological theory to help individuals explore their emotions, improve their mental well-being, and foster self-awareness. Art therapists, trained in both art and psychology, guide individuals in using art to address emotional challenges and promote healing.

​

Who can benefit?
People of all ages, including children, adults and seniors, can benefit from art therapy, especially those overcoming trauma or seeking personal growth.

​

How does it work?
Art therapy uses creative expression to foster self-discovery and healing in a safe, supportive environment.

Does my child, or I, need to be good at art?
Not at all! Art therapy is about expression, not artistic talent. No experience is needed.

​

Can art therapy help people who have experienced trauma?
Yes. Art therapy is a recognised approach for trauma and is especially helpful for those who find talking about experiences difficult.

​

What happens in a session?
Sessions are client-led and include creative activities, conversation, and reflection. All materials are provided.

​

Where do sessions take place?
Sessions are available in our clinic at 116 Snell Grove, Oak Park, online, in schools, or in your home (where appropriate).
