ART THERAPY

What is it?

Art Therapy is a technique of therapy which uses art as a way of expressing emotion and unconscious thoughts. With the therapist you would open up thought processes to give an opportunity to look at why you may be feeling like you are and how you may be able to change and understand it.

Art Therapy can be great for children who find it hard to talk about their feelings and who are active - the art activity gives them an opportunity to release energy while being witnessed by a trained therapist who can understand the meaning behind the play and then work with how to change behaviour.

Art Therapy can be great for adults who need a space to think and understand their emotions. You don't have to be an artist to get something useful out of art therapy, it's not about 'good art', it's about understanding the art and the unconscious process behind it.
