Art psychotherapy can be a powerful and transformational intervention, for anyone experiencing emotional distress, whose lives have been affected by difficult experiences, or those wishing to gain self-awareness and improve their wellbeing. It is an evidenced-based form of psychotherapy that facilitates self-exploration and healing. Talking is one way in which we communicate; art therapy invites us to explore other forms of expression and communication. It allows us to work with feelings and experiences that might be difficult to articulate in words alone.

Art-making in itself is healing. In art therapy, the combination of art-making and psychotherapy can reduce distress, increase awareness, resolve conflicts and work through emotional problems.
