Art Therapist

Art therapy is a mental health intervention that uses creative expression to tap into how we really feel. It is a psychotherapeutic process which can be used to soothe anxiety, release emotion, communicate issues and tell our personal story. Self expression is encouraged through art making and a safe setting with the therapist.

For assistance with ADHD, ASD, learning difficulties, childhood bereavement, anxiety, low mood, self-esteem issues, difficulty with emotional regulation, etc. Contact by email or phone for referral details.
