If you would like a more in depth explanation of art therapy, this speaker is Alian de Botton.

He explains art as propaganda on behalf of the good, it can inspire and represent morals like kindness, friendships and community.
Art is described as how we neglect the value of things we have looked at thousands of times each day. We have never looked at it closely and have seen it through jaded eyes. Art gets you motivated.
Art is the acceptance of imperfections and acts as guide to do the right things. He invites others to use art as a resource for our hearts.

I'd add to this that art is self led, with no right or wrong way to do it.
An outlet , that helps develop self trust and a way to process experiences, by following your own guide. This can raise self esteem, confidence, mindfulness undo blocks and understanding self and others increases.

Sessions are offered in Hexham or Brampton, free phone consultation. Please see website if you would like more information.

Can work with organisations , schools, education , specialist support services, residential care, children's homes, social care. Please contact if you would like to invite me visit.

I'm an art psychotherapist that works in residential care, and my approach is described as integrative and client/self led.

It's about assessing what the young person needs(have many adults that support them and sometimes trust), not being influential and trusting the client on what they need on their process.

The word "art" can mean anything from the traditional painting, to technology, linking it with play or sensory stimulation to help express feelings.

Some clients can be focused , look for details and information to support wellbeing, using art while chatting while another client just wants to have a laugh to work things out.

Being client led, I've seen so many interesting works of art, new child concepts and hypothetical reasoning,challenging wellbeing ideas.
As well as watching exploding balloons(with paint in them) or collections from nature, storey books, songs, Jenga blocks used for building homes or creating battleship games, poems,raps, songs accompanying art.....or painting to music. Fidgets and puzzles for art ideas.
In this way some children have expressed trauma....spilling red paint and moped in up it up with tissues , abstract images that during the art process start to formulate and become more concrete. It can be a child building confidence , feeling overwhelmed by school environments , or another child understanding family separation .

From my experience , Children and young people know the direction that they feel ready to go to and what they need. It's about being myself being
well prepared for not knowing what to expect.
Most of the time I'm pleasantly surprised and working through things have proved to be a positive experience. I've noticed that children or young people can work through there problems in a fun way.

Sometimes , people ask, what's the difference between Art therapy and Art psychotherapy?
There isn't a difference, art therapy is an abbreviated name. Back in the day, when the public were more anxious about getting involved with mental health services, we were called art therapists , so it was less threatening.
Nowadays, with education and awareness , many therapies are well recognised and encouraged for positive wellbeing.
Art therapy, is a psychotherapy, and therapists need to be qualified to m.a level, and registered with hcpc.
Art psychotherapists can have different approaches and interventions.
