You don’t have to be good at art or even have a particular interest in art to benefit from Art Therapy. A therapy session isn’t an art lesson either. The aim is for the client and therapist to work together using the art materials to explore what is happening for the client. It can be particularly useful for those people who may find talking about their experiences difficult. Or those who struggle to find the words to express how they’re feeling.

I could just throw all my feelings onto the paper without saying a word. I could use anything. Paint. Clay. Crayons. It was like letting everything out in a fun way!
