What is Art Therapy?
Art therapy isn’t simply about making art, teaching art or instructing a client’s art making. Crucially, art therapy is about making art in the company of a masters level-trained art therapist who can help to regulate difficult emotions, broaden perspective and work toward equipping the client with the tools they need to navigate life with increased confidence and resilience.
Art therapy offers clients a safe form of emotional expression and communication that is unrestricted by language and communication difficulties.
Targeted Materials and Processes
Art therapists work with the broad array of sensory materials available to the visual arts, such as paint, clay, pastels and collage. Other materials integrate further modalities, including sand play, creative writing, storytelling, puppetry, drama, music, dance and movement. Whichever approach is taken, art therapy provides clients with opportunities to explore different sensory materials and to express themselves. The artwork can also bring unconscious feeling to the conscious allowing clients to process deep buried emotions.
Art Therapy can cover the following areas:
llness
Low self-esteem

In an art therapy session there is no pressure to produce a drawing, painting or artwork. At times just sitting quietly together with the therapist will be enough for a person to begin to communicate.
