Art therapy, also called Art Psychotherapy, is a form of psychotherapy that uses creativity and art‑making to support emotional expression, wellbeing, and self‑understanding. You don’t need any artistic experience as the focus is on exploration and expression, not producing a ‘finished’ piece.
 

Using materials like paint, clay, pencils, collage, or sensory objects, art therapy can help express things that are hard to put into words. It can support anxiety, overwhelm, bereavement, trauma, identity, confidence, and neurodivergent experiences.

You choose the pace, the materials, and the way you engage.

​

Art therapy can help with:

​

• Anxiety, stress, or emotional overwhelm

• Bereavement, loss, or family changes

• Trauma or adverse childhood experiences

• Difficulties with emotional regulation

• Low confidence or self‑esteem

• School‑based challenges (attendance, friendships, transitions)

• Neurodivergent experiences (ASC, ADHD, sensory needs)

​

Art‑making offers a non‑verbal route into expression and regulation, which can be particularly helpful for those who may find talking therapies overwhelming or inaccessible.
