Creative art therapy supports clients to explore and express things that may be difficult to put into words

You do not need to be an artist to participate in creative art therapy, it is about the process of creative expression rather than what it looks like. The creative process supports clients to make sense of experiences and express emotions, while developing a sense of agency and self-acceptance in a safe non-judgmental environment. 

In a group setting, creative art therapy allows clients to explore their own feelings about a topic while sitting alongside others, allowing discussion to occur about the creative experience.

“I’ve realised that the connection between the creative arts and self-reflection is stronger and more healing than I imagined"
