What our clients say

 

“Thank you for the relaxing and really useful evening tonight. Oh, if the wider world knew that making art is so, so useful, grounding and meditative.”

Sue, Healing Through Creativity Participant (2024)

“I love how gentle and kind Julia's guidance was; she really created a sense of safety and freedom to express myself. And the activities Julia selected were extremely effective at evoking emotions that had clearly been waiting to come out for a while! I went from having no idea what I was about to paint, to feeling compelled to do very specific things - just by trusting my instincts and letting them speak directly to the paintbrush in my hand. It really surprised me how rich with meaning each painting felt, and how cathartic it was to create them. And Julia helped make sense of them in the most compassionate way. I will definitely be back for more.”

John, Healing Through Creativity Participant (2024)

“Julia facilitated such a warm, loving and safe space for me to fully drop into the session. I experienced such a noticeable difference in my mind and body after the session. I left feeling with a lot of hope and clarity."

Deepa R., Participant in Creative Session

"Julia was wonderful to work with. She's so compassionate and easygoing, dropping little treasures of wisdom along the way. I enjoyed having her beside me as I was expressing myself through art. I felt seen, cared for, and extremely safe."

Rachel M., Participant in Creative Session

You don't have to be good at art to benefit from therapeutic artmaking

 

Art therapy is not about creating a perfect piece of art, but rather about the process. It’s a way to communicate beyond words, tapping into your emotions and experiences.

When a young child splashes paint on paper and expresses themselves, they are not concerned about the outcome. They are fully in a creative flow. They enjoy the sensations of the materials on the paper, their fingers in the paint, taking joy in each step along the way.

The act of creating and expressing is therapeutic, helping you release emotions, reduce stress, gain insight, and foster self-awareness. Art therapy provides a safe and supportive space where you can freely explore and experiment with different materials.

There is no wrong way to create something in art therapy. It's not about being skilled, but about expressing your internal world in a way that’s visible to you.
