Perry Psychotherapy Art therapy for children & young people online and in person. I offer psychodynamic art therapy primarily to children & young people but also work with adults.

My role is to help people express thoughts and feelings they may not be aware they have (often known as unconscious thoughts). Often these unconscious thoughts affect our mood and behaviour in ways that we aren't even aware of, and which may not always make sense to us. Through creative activities and play, art therapy can gently help people to explore these deeper feelings, helping them process emotions, reduce anxiety, and gain a better sense of themself. Art therapy provides a safe and supportive space where they can express what's on their minds in a way that feels natural and comfortable. I am a fully qualified Art Psychotherapist registered member of BAAT (British Association of Art Therapists), HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) & ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office)

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, particularly if you’re not quite sure what to expect.

I wanted to take away some of that uncertainty by giving you a little look inside my Livingston therapy space.

I’m incredibly privileged to work alongside Rainbow Rascals and the Livingston community, offering a welcoming, creative space for children, young people and families.

One of the lovely things about this setting is that the space is fully accessible, with access to the Rainbow Rascals café and soft play too. This can be particularly helpful for families bringing a child to therapy, as siblings can enjoy the facilities while their brother or sister attends their session.

A space where children can explore feelings, express themselves creatively and take things at their own pace, while families feel welcome and supported too.

Still not sure? You’re very welcome to arrange a free meet-and-greet, either online or in person, before committing to sessions. There’s no pressure, just an opportunity to meet, have a look around and see if it feels right for you. 💚🎨

✨ A little insight into our Creative Coping Club this week! 🎨🪞

This week we focused on being kind to ourselves. The children decorated their own mirrors and learned about positive affirmations as part of their wellbeing and regulation toolkit. 💚

We then used our mirrors to practise saying kind things to ourselves, a simple way of encouraging positive self-talk and building confidence.

And then… it was time for some FREE PAINTING! 🎨🙌
The kids absolutely LOVED having the freedom to get messy, experiment and simply explore through art.

It’s so lovely to have a space where children can be themselves, get creative and explore their emotions without worrying about getting things “right”. 🌈

💚A little group update:
Our Creative Coping Club groups have now changed from a maximum of 6 children to 4 children. This allows us to create a calmer environment and ensure there is enough space, attention and support for each child.

📅 Booking in advance is recommended to avoid disappointment! Book via the website or link in bio
