Arts Psychotherapy uses creativity to help with expression and communication, where emotional issues and internal conflicts can be explored in a safe and contained way.

The 'arts' can be the use of metaphors and the imagination as well art, poetry, music, drama, movement, puppetry and clay.

How creative methods can support;
  • show your inner world​
  • project out emotions
  • reherse the possible
  • explore new perspectives
  • play with change
  • help regulate overwhelm

Cent​ral to the work is the relationship between client, therapist and the arts. We work together to co-create a space that feels safe and that suits your needs and wishes. We do not need to use the arts if you prefer a different approach.
