What is Art Therapy?

Compassion

Art therapy lays in the intersection of art, psychology and relational connection using active creative approaches to facilitate unique non-confrontational interventions towards improving mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.

Humility

Creative processes used within art therapy practice can provide a universal visual language to communicate, express and explore feelings, thoughts or experiences. This can be used alongside or separate from talking.

Integrity

Art therapy aims to reduces stress, promote insight and personal growth whilst supporting connection with selves, others and the world around us. It can be facilitated on a 1-1 basis or within a group.
