Art Therapy

Express your thoughts and feelings through creativity.

It's not always easy to discuss our deepest feelings, and we don't always want to talk about our difficult experiences with someone else.

Art therapy uses a range of materials to help express and work through thoughts, feelings and experiences, in a creative way.

What is art therapy?

Art Therapy, a form of psychotherapy, offers you both emotional and psychological support during your most difficult times. Work with a qualified art therapist who'll help you to make use of materials, discover the process of art making and support you, as you explore your thoughts and feelings through the images that you create.

You don't need to be an expert to feel the benefits of art therapy. It isn’t about creating pieces of art for public display, unless you want to of course. Your work is for you only, and will not be judged or labelled as good or bad.

Your therapy sessions are bespoke to you. You can use the time to talk through your thoughts and feelings or can have some quite time to reflect.
