Art Psychotherapy.
Art therapy is for everyone. You don't have to be good at art.
​
Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses artistic expression, alongside a trained therapist, to help explore your emotions.
This means we can help people who may find talking difficult, whether you are non-verbal or just struggle to find the right words.
​​​
Art Psychotherapy is a creative person-centred holistic treatment, suitable for people of all ages and abilities.
What is Art Therapy?
Art psychotherapy uses art as the vehicle of expression, alongside talking with a licensed art therapist. During sessions, you are supported by a registered professional to use art to express and articulate complex thoughts and feelings through the making of art, images, sculptures and through play.Art therapy is particularly helpful when approaching difficult or traumatic experiences, which may be hard to talk about. Art psychotherapy is a versatile and inclusive treatment, suitable for all ages and abilities.​
The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines recommend the use of creative therapies in the management of several conditions including eating disorders, psychosis, autism, adhd, learning disabilities and those experiencing communication problems.​The non-verbal elements of art psychotherapy are appropriate for individuals who may struggle communicating verbally. Art psychotherapy is an accessible treatment available for non-verbal individuals, where there are few treatment options available.
​
Art therapy helps individuals with autism by providing a non-verbal, safe, and sensory-rich medium to express emotions, reduce anxiety, and improve social communication. Through creative activities like drawing, painting, and clay molding, it fosters emotional regulation, fine motor skills, and self-confidence, helping to bridge communication gaps and reduce behavioural challenges.
"Around 700,000 people in the UK, including one in 100 children, have a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder" BMA, 2024.
"Psychosocial interventions such as Art-based therapies are recommended in the management of Autism in children and young people "
