Art Therapy is suitable for children ages 4+ to support their emotional learning, regulation and support for emotional, behavioural problems. Children benefit from sensory play, learning boundaries and expressing themselves safely with a trained psychotherapist.
Teens benefit from art therapy as it is often experienced as less confrontational than typical talking therapies which puts them at ease. Adolescents can then have an alternative way to express themselves without the pressure to communicate directly.
Art Therapy is not just for children! Adults benefit from the therapeutic process of art making and experiencing their inner child through play. You may be creative and enjoy art or simply have found talking therapies to not be for you. Art therapy is an alternative form of expression through symbolism and metaphor.
