What does art therapy offer that other therapies do not?

• Art therapy offers you the ability to express your thoughts, feelings and emotions that sometimes cannot be expressed easily with words.
• The arts can support you in the therapy room, by bringing another focus, especially if you find sitting opposite the therapist intense or overwhelming.
• Evidence suggests that participating in a creative activity can help you regulate emotional and physical wellbeing.
• Art therapy can put you back in touch with a very natural way of expressing yourself; it is not about being good at art!!
