Art is a universal language common to all people from all cultures. For many, the creation of artistic works is a healing and life-enhancing process.
How does Art Therapy work?
Art Therapy is grounded in the knowledge of human development, psychological theory and counselling techniques.
Art Therapy can help you to resolve conflicts, enhance interpersonal skills, reduce symptoms and achieve personal insights.
For who is Art Therapy?
Art Therapy is for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds looking for support to overcome current situations in their life or simply for people who seek personal development.

People who might not be able to express themselves fully with words as the art process is able to access parts of the brain that are not accessible through verbal communication.
What is the Art Therapist Role?
The role of an art therapist is to offer a safe place for a client to explore themselves, express their thoughts and feelings, and heal.
The relationship between the therapist and the client being crucial to the process, which is why just coloring, or painting or doing art recreationally may be therapeutic but it’s not therapy.
