Art Therapy can help children and adults with emotional issues such as bereavement and loss, as well as those with anxiety, depression and specific mental health problems, learning disabilities, ASD, ADHD, Dementia, or chronic/terminal illness. It can also support victims of trauma and abuse.
Some people simply use Art Therapy as a way of exploring themselves in a non-judgmental space, and extending their creativity.
We mainly provide individual Art Therapy. We can provide group art therapy when this is commissioned by an organisation.
Individual Art Therapy usually takes place once a week at the same time with the same Art Therapist. Sessions are between 50-60 minutes long and may continue for a few weeks or for a year or more.
Art Therapy groups in schools offer an opportunity for children who are experiencing particular difficulties to be referred by staff in consultation with parents/carers. The focus for referral may be on behaviour, relationships, learning issues or specific emotional challenges.
Art Therapy in a group of adults. We run groups when commissioned by organisations, normally in their premises. Art Therapy Groups can help people who need a supportive and non-judgemental context for exploring issues and relationships. Members of the group usually remain consistent over a period of weeks agreed at the start, (typically at least 8-12 weeks). Using art materials alongside one another and reflecting on the outcomes together provides an interesting and supportive way of sharing feelings and ideas.
