A frequent question asked is the differences between art therapy and using art as a therapy.

Here is the answer:

Art as therapy is a leisure activity that can evoke feelings of satisfaction and achievement through the act of creation. Art therapy is an evidence-based treatment that uses techniques from art as therapy while focusing on self-reflection and navigating emotional challenges.

Art therapy is all about processes and not the end product.

Thank you Lisa Mollie for creating these for me.
Due to an overwhelming response to my advertising during the school holiday I have welcomed many new clients. If you are considering engaging in any of the therapies I offer, please don’t hesitate as I currently have limited availability.
Can also provide Telehealth if required
