So what is art therapy and how can it support you? Art therapy is a form of creative psychotherapy. Using both the art work and the process of creating it, the client can begin to express and explore their own feelings within the safety of the art therapeutic relationship. It is a process, and for some clients the ability to name a feeling or allowing themselves to feel is the first step. By providing an open, curious and reflective space, the art therapist can help the client to explore and manage their feelings giving them confidence and resilience to meet whatever life throws at them.
