Arts Therapy uses the creative outlets of Art, Drama, and/or Music to give expression to the things we may find hard to put into words. This is a form of therapy for people who may find traditional talk therapy difficult. Some clients specifically request this form of therapy while others will integrate it as part of their talk therapy when they feel they need it.
Arts Therapy has yielded amazing results with adolescents and clients on the ASD spectrum, but it has also benefited those clients who never experienced the freedom of creative therapy before in their lives.
My MA in Creative Arts Therapies from NUIM has equipped me with many skills in Art and Drama to facilitate a session unique to the client’s needs and personal goals. If you feel that an arts therapy-based counselling session may benefit you more than a traditional psychotherapy session, contact me to discuss an appointment.
