FAQ

What types of art activities are involved in therapy sessions?

Our therapy sessions include a variety of art activities, such as drawing, painting, messy play, and other creative expressions, customised to individual needs and therapy goals.

What if someone has no prior artistic experience?

No artistic experience is required. Art therapy is about the process, not the outcome. Our therapists guide individuals of all skill levels.

My child has a significant fear of spiders that is impacting both his well-being and that of the entire family. Could this be addressed through art therapy?

Absolutely. Art therapy provides a unique and supportive space for individuals to explore and express fears, including phobias. Through creative expression, our therapists can work with your child to understand and process their fear of spiders, contributing to emotional regulation and overall well-being.

My daughter has experienced bullying, impacting her self-esteem and self-confidence. She now refuses to leave the house and has become very sensitive. She won’t talk to me about it. Can art therapy help us?

Absolutely. Art therapy can provide a supportive space for your daughter to express and process her emotions creatively. Our therapists specialise in addressing the emotional impact of bullying, helping rebuild self-esteem and confidence. Through artistic exploration, she may find a constructive outlet for her feelings and gradually regain a sense of well-being.

Art provides a non-verbal means for individuals to express complex emotions and feelings that may be challenging to communicate verbally. Creating art allows for a release of emotions, helping individuals explore and understand their inner world.

Is art therapy suitable for all ages?

Absolutely, art therapy is tailored to individuals of all ages, creating a supportive environment for diverse needs.

How many sessions will my child need?

That depends on the needs of each child. Generally the first 6 weeks are spent getting to know the child and forming an assessment of individual needs. After that time the relationship begins to form in a solid way and work can begin. Every child is different and will approach the therapy room in different ways and at different speeds. Therapy can vary from 12 weeks to over a year. The longer the commitment to the process, the longer-lasting the change will be.

Can art therapy support my teenage child who is facing challenges with their sexual identity?

Certainly. Art therapy provides a safe and empathetic space for individuals to explore and express their feelings, including those related to sexual identity. Our skilled therapists can work with your teenager to navigate these challenges, fostering self-discovery, acceptance, and emotional well-being.

My 6-year-old autistic child finds it challenging to follow instructions, self-regulate, and concentrate. Can you please advise if art therapy would be beneficial?

Through tailored activities, our therapists can assist in enhancing emotional regulation, concentration skills, and the ability to follow instructions. The visual and sensory aspects of art therapy contribute to a holistic approach, fostering emotional well-being and skill development.
