What is Art Therapy?
Some feelings are too big, too painful or too confusing for words. Art therapy uses drawing, painting, clay and collage as a way to express and explore emotions safely. You don't need any artistic talent — the focus is on expression, not on making beautiful art.
How it works
- Guided creative activities chosen for your goals
- Exploring the feelings, memories and meanings that come up in the artwork
- Building calm, self-awareness and confidence through creating
How it is effective for mental health disorders
- Children and adolescents: helps express emotions, reduce anxiety and improve behaviour when talking is difficult.
- Trauma and grief: provides a gentle, non-verbal route to process painful experiences.
- Depression and anxiety: research suggests art therapy can reduce symptoms and improve self-esteem and quality of life, especially alongside other treatment.
- Autism and developmental conditions: supports communication, emotional expression and sensory regulation.
Who can benefit
Children, teenagers, adults who find it hard to talk about feelings, survivors of trauma or loss, and people with autism.
What to expect
8–16 sessions in a relaxed, creative space; all materials are provided.
