About
Art Therapy
|
Expressing feelings and
experiences through images can often be a more powerful communication
than words.
The overall aim of Art
Therapy is to effect change and growth on a personal level, through the
use of art materials, in a safe and facilitating environment.
Art Therapy is a three way
process that focuses on the use of art materials and the relationship
between the therapist and the client.
|
 |
The Art Therapist and client are in partnership, working together to
understand the meaning of the image.
Art Therapy is not dependent
on spoken language and can therefore be helpful to anyone who finds it
difficult to express their thoughts and feelings verbally, or speaks
English as their second language.
Art Therapy is for anyone of
any age. You don't need to be 'good at art' to benefit from Art
Therapy.
