Art therapy differs to talking therapies in that there is focus on the process. The whole brain is engaged along with the body, emotions, thoughts and sensory information.
Art therapy informs us in ways word can't. It's as simple as making marks on a paper to express an attitude or emotion.

No art experience is necessary.

Art allows us to communicate in the rich language of colour and imagery; this is utilized and explored in a therapeutic setting. This is particular useful when recovering from trauma. Art therapy is known to improve mental health.
Materials such as paint, clay, pastels, crayons, found objects, collage, myths and music are used to access healing.
No previous art experience is necessary.
