What is Art Therapy?

Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy provided in a safe and confidential space, delivered by a trained, qualified and registered Art Therapist.

It is a client led therapy which uses art materials as the main form of expression, you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace and are never required to talk if you do not wish to. Art Therapy can reduce stress, help promote insight and understanding, self compassion and self esteem.
