What are the Therapeutic Arts?

The use of therapeutic arts is rooted in the belief that creative expression can serve as a powerful medium for healing and restoring hope, dignity and worth.

It can offer vital support to both children and adults facing a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma and developmental and physical disabilities, memory conditions like dementia and anyone striving for improved emotional wellbeing and self-awareness.

Using mediums including drawing, painting, music, modelling clay, movement and poetry, sessions are safe spaces for vulnerable individuals to gain insight into personal thoughts and feelings, explore and process emotions, develop coping strategies and discover values in their lives.

Therapeutic arts can produce profound and traditional experiences and act as a bridge for those not yet ready to engage in traditional or verbal counselling processes.
