What is Art Therapy?
If you’ve never had Art Therapy before you may be wondering what it is and how it works.

Art Therapy is about using art materials to explore feelings and experiences alongside talking with the therapist. It is client led, which means that sometimes you might not want to make art and just need to talk, and that’s fine. The therapist is there to listen to you, support you, and offer a non-judgmental and compassionate space.
Everything you make is just for you and will be held confidentially as part of your therapeutic
