What is Art Therapy?

Art therapy is a transformative psychotherapy modality that harnesses the innate power of the creative arts to promote wellbeing, self-discovery, and transformation. And here's the best part: you don't need to consider yourself creative to benefit from its potential.

Art therapy can help with a range of challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem or emotional regulation.

It provides a place for self-expression, allowing us to delve deeper into our emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. We uncover a sacred space where the canvas unexpectedly becomes a mirror, reflecting the profound intricacies of our inner world. We can see ourselves from a safe distance, connecting us to insights, healing, and personal growth.

Lines, shapes, and colours build a bridge to our subconscious mind, allowing us to express what is beyond words. We discover the narratives that shape our lives and are given the empowering opportunity to reframe our stories, to better support our mental health.
