What is Art Therapy?
Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses art as a primary mode of communication and expression. The art created is not used as a diagnostic tool but rather a way to address emotional issues which may be confusing, distressing and difficult to verbally communicate. Art therapy is not a recreational activity or an art lesson although the sessions may be enjoyable. No previous art experience is necessary as the art created is not judged and instead is a way to express yourself.
​
Art Therapy is suitable for all ages, abilities and can be beneficial for people with a wide range of difficulties, disabilities or diagnoses. These include emotional, behavioural or mental health problems, physical or learning disabilities, neurological conditions, physical illnesses, and life-limiting conditions.
​
Christina has worked with a range of clients with behavioural difficulties, ASD, ADHD, suicidal ideation, self-harm, bereavement, relationship difficulties and much more.
