As a trainee Art Therapist, I am excited to be able to offer this modality within what I consider to be a caring holistic environment and I aim to continue to uphold this caring professionalism for the company and with the clients.” Click here to learn more about Sarah.
Art therapy is a holistic form of client-lead psychotherapy which focuses on the creative use of art to communicate and address emotional issues and enhance individual well-being and self-discovery.
Therapeutic artmaking provides clients with a means for expression that is otherwise difficult to verbalise, whilst integrating person-centred support with the physical, emotional, and psychological of their wellbeing.
