Creative Counselling
Art Therapy is form of counselling, a person-centred approach that explores creative methods such as visual art, collage, music, and sensory experiences to help you move through concerns, life transitions, and grief. It is a form of expressive therapy that empowers the individual, while providing a platform to bring concerns that live in the shadows in fear of being ridiculed or made to feel unheard, into the light. The process promotes expression, imagination, and mind and body connection to assist an individual’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Absolutely everyone! All ages can benefit from Art Therapy, and you don’t need to have any artistic skills at all to experience the positive effects that Arts Therapy can offer.
