Benefits of Art Therapy

• Images and forms are seen as having equal value alongside words.

​

• By creating art we bring feelings and associations from within, turning them into a tangible object, which can then be honoured, kept, or thrown away.

​

• There is no expectation of what the final product needs to look like, and the act of creative expression itself can regulate the nervous system.

​

• Being witnessed throughout the therapeutic process.

​

• Enjoyment, social connection, and collaboration.

​

• Having choice.

​

• Working towards self-mastery.

​

• Having a dedicated space and time to experiment, explore, and reflect inward.
