AArt therapy is about providing a safe space to explore and express feelings, relationships, events, behaviour and creativity through drawing, painting and making things. Art therapy allows a person to go beyond making art as an activity.
In art therapy the young person is encouraged to make their own kind of art and to talk about their feelings towards it.“You don’t need to be artistic or creative to benefit from art therapy. It can be just as effective for those with no art making abilities.”
